Saturday Snap Back – Cristina Re…

Posted by on Sep 10, 2011 in Cafe, Saturday Snap Back, Sweet | 0 comments

I wouldn't want to put a break in the cupcake-a-thon so today I thought I would take you back to Cristina Re, Where a Girl Goes. This is one of the most delightfully girly shops/cafes I have ever walked into. In the original post HERE I spoke about the cupcakes and macrons but only glanced over the fun sounding classes they have on offer. Perhaps while delighting in cupcakes you could take one of the Cristina Re workshops- ...could you make an origami cupcake? Or card making ... Read More

Take a breath and become stationery…

Take a breath and become stationery…
I, like so many girls (and guys) out there have a love affair with stationery. There is something about it that compels me to stroke notebooks lovingly, look longingly at piles of card stock and insanely hoard writing paper that I stopped using decades ago. And then there are the accessories. The photo albums, ribbons, wax seals, scrapbooks, journals and special occasion craft project cards that I swoon for. Now in a dream world could I just combine these things with an environment that was worthy ... Read More

Let the Son(ido) shine…
Well, my final Offspring blog. And what a lovely way to wrap up my current tv obsession (from a blog point of view - will still be tuning in on Monday). Sonido on Gertrude St is a small Colombian Cafe only open until four and thus a late addition to my blogging post. Unfortunately it was cerado (Colombian for closed I think) when we tried last weekend so I bribed Bean to meet me for Lunch and a shop this Saturday as she had missed out on all the OP fun last weekend. Sonido is bright, bustling ... Read More

Are you in the club…
You knew it was coming right? How could I possibly lead you through all of these Offspring locations and not take you the the pub they seem to frequent in just about every episode. The pub that during season one hosted fights, reunions, drunken moments, sober moments, award moments, packed with potential moments, proximity to arson moments, a birth and one of the most horrifyingly funny songs by Eddie Perfect (a six at best). ...ok that was just a gratuitous Eddie Perfect photo... During episodes ... Read More

Offspring Filming Locations Yup you have me....I occasionally get addicted to tv shows - especially when they are costume dramas or filmed in the city in which I live. Welcome the Chanel 10 series Offspring staring Asher Keddie (and Eddie Perfect). I love this show for many reasons including a heroine who thinks the thoughts I think (sometimes), an amazing vintage wardrobe a crazy family without being violent and lots of random owls. I love this series even more for her improbably large apartment ... Read More
