Here's some way cool stuff to get you through your working week... and beyond!

Read: Have you ever wanted to look into the mind of a creative? Well put your reading glasses on and get comfy... Conversations with Creative Women is a collection of interviews with 14 of Australia's most talented creative women. The book gushes with inspiration, as each of these women shed light on their road to success. This literary gem could be just the ticket you need to get your own creative juices flowing! Pre-order your copy here... you can even save $5!


Shop: As a keen vintage shopper, I love a good op-shop rummage as much as the next, but when House of Maryanne has already hand picked a range of nifty vintage pieces, you can leave your brogues in the cupboard. Maryanne Bridges, the craftswoman behind the online house, collects and sells pre-loved clothing from around the world. With HoM stock updated weekly, your days of hittin' the op-shop high street could soon be dwindling! Those of you trying to save your pennies, look away now... To snap up some of HoM's beautiful pieces visit the facebook page. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3 (or writing 'sold' in the comment box)!


Visit: If you haven't had time to visit The Festival of Unpopular Culture yet, that's ok, it's running until October 16th, so there is still plenty of time to check it out. The festival is a celebration of alternative ideas, garnished with exhibitions, parties, concerts and overall radness. The sole aim of the festival, is to strip away prejudice, and run free in creativity. For more unpopular details, visit the website.


See: With a month of residency already under their belt, Perth Zine Collective have extended their stay at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts until the 30th October (hip, hip hooray!) These pint-sized publications are on display in the zine library and are available for purchase... you can even have a go at making your own little zine! Opening hours are Tues-Sun 11am-6pm.


Stamp: I'm sure if there are any eager bakers out there, at one point or another, you've had to defend the homemade authenticity of your baked goods... well not anymore! This super cute 'homemade' stamp from The Spoon Sisters, lets everyone know just how much of a genius baker you are... you know it's true!
