Font Love: Magpie Paper Works
A while back, Jess from Magpie Paper Works posted about some fonts she had been working on and I loved the sneak peak of them SO much that I signed up to do some beta testing of them. I was a bit crap with getting back to her with feedback but I utterly ADORED them. She’s finally released her debut font collection and her new additions to it are amazing!
These fonts are definitely on my wishlist. Vermandois is my fav, but the entire collection works so well together that I want them all! You can by them from MyFonts.com or in her shop. Go get them now!
You made it through, but nevertheless.
So much for not blogging in the next few weeks. This is my 3rd entry since that post. Ha! Maybe I’m not taking a break like I thought I was?
Had an alright week. Nothing special, but nothing bad. The weather has been all over the place. One minute it’s all thunder and dark skies, the next it’s blue skies and sunshine burning into us. I wish it would make up it’s mind.
Today, we { A Couple of Night Owls } are shooting an engagement session. Was kinda hoping it wasn’t going to be this sunny because overcast weather acts as a really great diffusion panel, but I guess it’s much better than rain! And tomorrow we will be heading out of town for the day to do some location scouting for a wedding next weekend, which just so happens to fall on my birthday!
I can’t believe I’m turning 26 years old. I will no longer be on the lower side of my 20′s. 
Noooooooo. Hopefully I will get time to finish off a few posts before my birthday that I have been working on for some time now but we will see. Got a very busy week and a half ahead!
Hope you all are having (or going to have – for those on the other side of the world) an awesome weekend!
- The Hungry Workshop, at it again with this awesome wedding invitation with a cute merit badge momento on it!
- Angela’s baby shower looks like an absolute dream!
- Melissa’s selling one of her sweet calligraphy prints for $10! WANT.
- “Everbody likes parfait!” Haha. That stupid Shrek quote is all I can think of when I see or hear the word parfait. Which brings me to this: how to make meringue parfaits!
- I would LOVE to see Kelli Anderson talk at a conference. I actually put her name down as someone I wanted to see come to a future Semi Permanent event. Glad I got to see this video of her talk at TEDx though!
- A very cool mug DIY. I think it was the geometric pattern that caught my eye.
Sweet, so delicate.
I have a habit of buying pretty paper that I know will just sit in a draw somewhere and never be used but sometimes I see something and just HAVE to have it. That’s how I felt when I saw this gorgeous butterfly watercolour printed paper by Cristina Re. I purchased this single sheet about 2 years ago and it still sits in a clear file on my shelf. I should really put it to good use. Any suggestions?
Oh sweet valentine.
I got a very sweet delivery at work today – a wonderful Valentines Day package from my lovely Hook! The prettiest flowers! I adore those colours – especially the yummy lime green and fuchsia pink orchids. And the most amazing cake ever! The texture of that chocolate cake is absolutely insane. And boy is it rich! Just a sliver of a slice is enough for a day worth of chocolate. So good. I love my man. 
*cheesy*
I’ve thrown my words all around.
What is this slack blogger that I have become?! My energy levels are running on low and I’ve just got zero motivation right now. I think I need to lay off the energy drinks. Those things work the opposite way to what they say they should do. Did that sentence even make sense? That’s how tired I am. Doesn’t help that my health has been on a bit of a downward spiral for a few weeks now. Now that I got my billion prescriptions (see photo above) I will hopefully be getting better! And I managed to start tasting and smelling again today – woo! It’s been about 2 weeks since I last tasted so I’m pretty stoked.
I gave my usual weekend links post a miss this past weekend. I just kind of forgot about it on Friday. Saturday was my Mum’s birthday and her, my stepdad Mike and my stepbrother Ben came up to Auckland for the day/night. We spent the entire day at Rainbows End (our only theme park which doesn’t compare at all to those in other countries). Had such a blast! Ben seemed to only enjoy the log flume so I ended up going on that 3 times with him and got a wicked bruise on my leg from it. Mum’s usually a bit of a scaredy-pants when it comes to rides and things like that but she totally loved them! She even went on the rollercoaster twice in a row, and went on the fear fall with me twice. I think the fear fall is my favourite ride just because there’s no motion sickness involved haha. Screamed my lungs out and try to get to you on it. Such a thrill!
We went out for an awesome italian dinner, where of course I ate way more than I should have. Not really worth it since I couldn’t even taste. I never learn.
Spent Sunday doing some location scouting for an engagement shoot A Couple Of Night Owls have coming up this weekend. I hope the weather does what we want it to! *prays for overcast but no rain* While we were out scouting, I managed to find a dairy that sells the giant Nippy’s drinks and actually keeps them in a cold fridge. Snapped one up for work today cause the dairy by my place has them but keeps in them in a fridge that seems luke warm at best.
Back to the grind today. Hoping that this week goes fairly quickly. I might be a bit quiet on the blog in the next few weeks but hopefully I’ll pop in once or twice a week to say hi!
