Smelly Samsonite

Have hunted everywhere for the perfect little bag to carry around writing supplies.
Obviously from room to room in the house, but also on the rare train trips I take to Sydney.
Found a genuine black Samsonite hand luggage bag.
Still has insert, keys lost, but it is in perfect condition. Just one issue. It stinks. Oh lordy it stinks so bad. Like 30+ years of medicine cabinet smells. Thinking I will try baking soda. Love it, but it smells.

Awesome 

But

Smelly

Just had my first spam comment. Incorrect spelling aside, it recommended a reception venue in Perth on a blog post about my already finished wedding day. Nice one 'James Franklin'. Off to change comment settings.

If you're looking for the best place to mention your wedding vows, one factor that you simply should cross-check is that the setting and magnificenceness of the venue.

Wedding and other fun!

So yes, I am now a Mrs.
Turns out it isn't really any different from being a Miss. Still a stack of laundry that needs to be done, dishes need washing & uni assignments still need to be finished.
Almost done though. I can relax until Feb when uni goes back again.

House was struck down with the dreaded man flu so haven't been able to update.
Wedding was lovely. I mentioned Harry Potter & potential zombie apocalypse in my vows. Win.
And of course cried. A lot. Cried with my Dad, cried walking, cried during ceremony, cried so much I couldn't say my vows properly in the beginning. Yay for being a girl.

Everyone looked amazing. 1950's wedding dress fit beautifully and I think I lasted a whole hour before kicking off heels. Just too used to thongs now.

Still waiting to collect pictures from everyone and the photographer. Obviously for privacy reasons, I don't put identifying photos online, but I will post what I can. Either way pen pals will receive a flood of photos when I can print them.

Now that the wedding is over I can go back to work. That isn't as fun as I thought it would be.
Work starts back on Monday with almost a whole new team. At least the pay will be decent before Christmas.

Have had a week off between uni & work. Have nursed sick kids & sick husband, rearranged office/study, covered a lamp shade with a map. All the essential things in life obviously. And of course gorged on the left over jam from the wedding.

1. Reception (taken by lovely friend Marshmo)

2. Wedding band and aztec pants. Win.

3. Clean desk. Running out of spots for glass collection & books.

4. Another clean desk. Yay. Still working on photo backdrop.

5. Finished map lamp.

6. Unfinished feature wall & HP knight!

7. Stamps galore.

8. Those draws are just full of paper & stationary :D
