Fancy Festive Finds - Wednesday Wishlist

Hello dear readers, happy festive hump day to you all ! 

Today I have put together a fun Australian wish-list inspired by Christmas-sy colours. To inject a little humour into the often stressful and hectic lead up to Christmas, I would also love to share with you a funny Christmas quote by the talented Joan Rivers :

"The one thing women don't want to find in their stockings on Christmas morning is their husband."

Enjoy xo

Wednesday Wishlist - Movember Moustache Goodness

Happy Hump Day dear readers - and welcome to the Movember Wednesday Wishlist ! Movember is such an important event and I wanted share this info with you. Warning : this may seem like a bit of a "blokey" post but there is lots of moustache goodness to be seen !

"During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Australia and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo growing efforts. At the end of the month, Mo Bros and their female supporters (known as Mo Sistas) celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.1 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate, with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa and Ireland. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men’s health cause right across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between. No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to educate men about the health risks they face, getting them to act on that knowledge, thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment. In 2010, over 130,000 Australian Mo Bros and Sistas got on board, raising $25 Million AUD."

Blogtoberfest Day 26 - Not Your Nanna's Crochet - Wednesday Wishlist

Happy Wednesday dear readers and welcome to day 26 of Blogtoberfest. One thing I do love about Blogger, is that when you have a great idea for a blogpost you can compose and save it. Then you can publish that post when you get bloggers block and can't think of anything to write about. Case in point, here is a post I prepared earlier *wink*

Today is a Wednesday Wishlist based around modern crochet, which seems to be making a huge resurgance in the handmade world. Now a quick note re the title of this post. Not Your Nanna's Crochet. I do not wish to appear disrespectful, I want to send a shout out to all the funky Nannas in the handmade world and explain that this blogpost title relates more to the beautiful crochet of days gone by, and how it has evolved to it's current form. Also sending a big Huzzah to all crochet artisans who are leading the handmade crochet revival. See you all tomorrow for Blogtoberfest Day 27 xo
