wednesday want
Posted by shan | Filed under music, pretty things, want
my last wednesday want was a fortnight ago; a brief list of things i wanted/needed. i missed last week’s blog post, but as luck would have it, all but one of my wants were realised on the same day. my ruddbucks arrived, tim’s birthday present arrived, and my teeth got better. no decemberists tour, but i’m not holding my breath for that one.
it’s absolutely freezing here. autumn came and went in about two weeks and now it’s just bitterly cold, ALL THE TIME. have i mentioned how much i hate winter yet? cause i really, really do.
anyway. this week’s wants:
chandelier birdie – granny bag by gomonkeydesign
yellow birds – espresso set by louchelab
i’m too hesitant to order ceramics on etsy, as i’m not sure they’d survive the postage, but i’m seriously considering these.

just a quick post to say that i’ve only got a couple of my mother’s day cards left in my etsy store. i’ll be adding some more tonight and tomorrow, but not sure how many more i’ll have after that.

wednesday want
Posted by shan | Filed under want
it’s my boyfriend’s birthday today, so i won’t have time to do my wednesday want after work. i”ll give you a condensed list:
- the present i ordered for him on march 9 to finally arrive
- the decemberists to tour here
- an IV of nurofen plus to stop my wisdom teeth from hurting
- my ruddbucks
music to melt your insides.

i can always tell straight away when a song really hits me; i feel it in my ribs. it’s as if all of my insides are squishing together, to make room for all the feelings this song has stirred in me.
bon iver – the wolves(act I & II)
i saw him play at the infamous spiegeltent during sydney festival this year, and he was incredible. as this song builds and builds towards the end he had the whole crowd singing along with him, getting louder and louder, until finally exploding into this cathartic yell. it was amazing.
andrew bird – anonanimal
i’ve seen andrew bird live 4 times now, i think. possibly even 5. his bare feet and his endless head bobbing and his insane looping and the whistling! oh, the whistling. andrew bird is easily in my all-time top 5. highly recommended.
the decemberists – we both go down together
well, this is just colin meloy, lead singer of the decemberists. in an elevator. i’m not sure why. i’m amazed that his vocal delivery is absolutely identical to how it is on the record. i highly recommend their new album, the hazards of love.

happy easter!

tomorrow, i plan on making this:
i’m willing to bet that it won’t turn out quite that magnificent, but i’ll give it a go. happy easter! may your days be filled with chocolate.
wednesday want: ruddbucks
Posted by shan | Filed under want
in honour of the start of ruddbucks season today, this week’s wednesday want will focus on the things i plan on buying with my $900, as well as the things i wish i was buying. a mix of the practical and the unnecessary.
first up is new sneakers. i already have the nike+ipod running thing, so now i want the sneakers to go with it. i currently have the sensor attached to the laces of my asics sneakers, and it works fine, but i feel like i’m cheating a bit. i want to get the nike sneakers with the pouch in the sole for the sensor to fit in, so i plan on purchasing these:
next up is some new black flats for work. ideally, i want these, but i suspect i’ll end up getting some less fancy.
these are on my frivolous list, but i’ve been wanting them for soooo long, and if i don’t buy them with free money i guess i never will.
i also need some boring things like a 1TB external hard drive, but i’ll spare you the pictures.
happy ruddbucks, everyone!

wednesday want: clutches
Posted by shan | Filed under pretty things, want
i have a rather large collection of clutches and purses. they’re just so practical and versatile. who wants a big heavy big when you can take just the bare essentials? plus, when you go out for dinner it just fits right on the table, instead of trying to keep it safe between your feet.

i already have one of these in various shades of yellow, and i can’t recommend them enough.
