(Only coz you guys are GOOD!)<br /><br />Sandra - dunno about fabric stores, I wasn't on the lookout for that, but there was a leather store. Very bizarre... you walked in and saw all kinds of bags in the front of the store, and at the back was the workshop and you see all these dead-cow-skins hanging from everywhere. Eeks! It's worth a visit to walk down King Street though - only to the left when you walk out Newtown station. That seems to be the more eclectic/ craft-y type of stores. (There's a guy selling all kinds of religious kitsch outside the Greek Orthodox church. OK, so maybe to him it's not kitsch... but there are so many cool Jesus/ Mary pictures on everything from bracelets to postcards.) It's a fun browse. :)Skippettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150011417758604923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-52426659409855691972009-12-14T05:08:24.676+01:002009-12-14T05:08:24.676+01:00Thanks for the shout-out, Jaime!

I'm dead tired but something compelled me to look at your blog. Thanks for the good vibes.<br /><br />Creating things is such a wonderful way to "get out of your mind"- it's a joyful thing for me and really re-sets my brain. <br /><br />I LOVE the black and red earrings! well done! Can't wait to hear more about it (and see photos).<br /><br />oh, and yeah, I'd drop dead from heart failure if I saw that button shop whiled strolling down the street.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11185066123168375209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-29170314273747303082009-12-14T04:39:17.619+01:002009-12-14T04:39:17.619+01:00Nice one, thanks!Nice one, thanks!Skippettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150011417758604923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-57485282452526325792009-12-13T13:52:12.218+01:002009-12-13T13:52:12.218+01:00hi Skippety, i tend to call her Bindi, but it'...hi Skippety, i tend to call her Bindi, but it's bindifry:<br /><a href="http://astangayogachicago.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">bindifry</a><br />cheers,<br />ArturoArturohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971352220152467379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-28553428866585751462009-12-13T11:08:15.570+01:002009-12-13T11:08:15.570+01:00Hey Arturo, do you have a link to Bindy's blog...Hey Arturo, do you have a link to Bindy's blog?

They're a little bit more special only coz I made them. But I'm still unsure about them) ...I just wish I had rows and rows of beads at home now at my disposable to come up with something else. Hahaha. <br /><br />Hey Lew! I had only been on the other side of Newtown - walk out the station and turn LEFT, not right... and the left side seems a lot more oldskool and charming, with more vintage stores, little designer co-op type of stores. This is where Etelage and the button store are too. I walked up the street (to the right of the station when you walk out of it), and was pretty surprised at the change in vibe. Like how you described it. More "zhoosh" and modern. I imagine the other end of King St was probably what it was like before. I could totally live there. :)<br /><br />Thanks Elena! I <3 your Star Wars figures. They're so random and CUUUUUTE!

King St has changed a lot - we cruised past a couple of months ago, and it looked like it had been zhooshed up quite a bit. It was really grungy when I lived there.<br /><br />Beading seems like fun. I've bought my daughter a couple of beading kits over the years, but she's never really been into it - I've had more fun with them than she has!lewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18110976237089976953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-68517579367659096692009-12-13T04:21:04.397+01:002009-12-13T04:21:04.397+01:00So that's what you've been doing this morn...So that's what you've been doing this morning. Windering where you were!<br /><br />Wow! I've not stepped foot into Newtown yet but the place sounds wonderful! Love the idea of the bubble blower on mailboxes (in fact, we've got the same one here that's Jared has grown tired of) - shd definitely plan a trip to see that part of sydney!<br /><br />The earrings look great! Love what you'll be modelling at the wedding! Am sure you're proud of your new found talent - As for me on the other hand will have to stick to baking cuz am not artsy crafty AT ALL!<br /><br />See you later funky beadster!AshtangiKalinoreply@blogger.com
