Market haul

I had a splendid day today.

First of all, I woke up naturally without an alarm, 

then I started reading a biography on Jackie Chan. (<3). 

I made myself the best breakfast, with leftover roast duck, camembert and water crackers, and then decided to visit the markets. 

I adore markets. The carnival atmosphere, the food and the people!

Also the best place to people watch, even better than lookbook.nu.

Sydney's weather was beautiful; warm and sunny with a light breeze.

And I didn't drive, so no traffic, no parking, no fines! 

Hahhaha. I really do detest driving. 

It was so relaxing leaving the car at my accommodation and spending the day walking wherever I want, whenever I want!

I visited the Glebe markets.

I was under the impression that I have never been to Glebe before, but I realised when I arrived that I had actually stayed in Glebe for a week 5 years ago on a dental student convention. 

Passed by the convention accommodation, and man, it was decrepit. Still cannot believe we had to stay there. 

And in case you think I am being a little princess, 

read for yourself! Parkview hotel. Urgh. 

But enough rambling, here is my haul!

Neon skull necklaces ($10), a sushi 4GB USB ($9), a silver and cultured pearl necklace ($30) and an amethyst and silver ring ($20)
Absolute bargains right?

Also picked up these neon pink chandelier earrings for $5. I am having a huge neon moment right now, I can't get enough!

I got home in the afternoon, and got bored rather quickly.
I have a compulsion to buy lots and lots of jewellery whenever I shop, and sometimes I tweak them to make new pieces.
Remember when I used to make jewellery?
Sometimes the urge returns and I fiddle around with whatever I have.
The result!

My new pieces, a pair of rose earrings and a matching bracelet. Quite an accomplishment considering I have no pliers and had to use my bare hands. 

 I used a pair of vintage drop crystals to make the earrings, and the malachite heart-shaped piece you see on the bracelet was bought from a homeless man last weekend at the Kings Cross markets. The crystal tennis bracelet is actually an old anklet!

With it on. 

But of course, my one true love will always be online shopping. 

Open 24/7, and in your pyjamas if you so prefer. 

And your partner will be none the wiser! 

(Usually)

Can't wait till next week when my purchases start arriving!

This is abrupt, but I just found the movie Men in Black on Youtube, and have been overcome by an unbearable urge to start watching it now. I love that movie!

Till next time!
