Gorgeous gorgeous bikes over at Vanguard Designs.

Many moons back I took part in the Lovely Package Exchange at Oh Hello Friend, of which the pretty package has long been dismantled and its contents put to good use. Of course, I meant to blog about it, only I never did. Sorry!

Anyway here is the package I sent out:

And here is what my assigned partner, Franca from Scotland sent me:

a very colour coordinated stash: a scarf, candy, a notebook, a handmade brooch, cute mobile accessory/keychain, earrings and adorable flower hairclips

For the contents of my package, you can click over to Franca’s post here.

I guess I’ve posted this a tad late, but if you’re itching to share your passion for lovely things and pretty packaging, and make new friends at the same time, this exchange would be worth checking out! Sign up if you can. I know I did!

Check out this link for details and remember to explore the blog while you’re there. It’s filled with beautiful things and tons of inspiration.

This short clip just brightened up my day, and I hope it brightens yours too!

I can’t imagine this is Singapore though, I wonder what us locals would do when faced with a spontaneous musical like this in our MRT Stations?

Honeycombers is a site that according to them,

is the latest online resource for shopping, dining and entertainment, lifestyle, travel and inspiration. We send 3 short & sweet emails each week to keep you in the know.

Sounds like our region’s version of DailyCandy to me.

Currently the site is still a tad bare on news, but there’s always room for improvement!
