Op Shop School Desk

I bought this desk for $8 at an op shop, no in too bad nick. Will sand or strip and repaint if required. Thinking maybe a blackboard paint top and glossy black for the rest? Maybe. Originally thought o keep it outside and use for potting plants etc but am inclined to use it in our guest room as a bedside table. Might just add a small edge on the inclined top, so books won't slide off. Any suggestions?!

Garage Sale Plant Leaf

I bought a plant at a garage sale recently - no idea what it is, but it dropped a leaf. I bought the plant because I liked the leaves, the holes are interesting!

Beautiful invitations

Lovely, hand-lettered invitations to a wedding in the mountains. Wonderful colours and illustration too :D

Desk space wanted!

I've been asking around, trying to find desk space to rent for 2 or 3 days a week, in a creative studio or office. I'm getting a bit stir crazy working at home by myself. I'm not looking for something necessarily in a design studio, but any place where there's a few people, doing creative stuff. Not looking to get involved with their work etc, just improve my current work atmosphere a bit!

If you hear of anything, leave a message!

My other option, which I haven't looked into a great deal at this stage, is to go back and do some more study...

Yonlu

Music from the south west of Brazil, created by 16 year old Vinicius Gageiro Marques. Yonlu (his online moniker) sounds like Elliot Smith – another fave, another tragic figure. Check him out...

Harvey Milk, but not from down south...

I finally got 'round to seeing 'Milk', the film celebrating the efforts of Harvey Milk towards gay rights. Well worth a look - Sean Penn does a great job, as do most of the actors. Second film I've seen Josh Brolin in, in a week, watched '.W' earlier - not sure whether to feel sorry for GWB or amazed that he got as far as he did...

Sandy Syd

My Dad left on Saturday to do a solo walk in the Simpson Desert. He got a lift in with a 4WD mob (they'll also pick him up on the way back). He looks like being away for around 3 weeks, carting all his own food and gear. He's got an EPIRB and GPS sorted, now we just have to see how he goes...
