Present Project 2, why thank you Lucky Pony!

So today is the day that I sent off my prezzie for my new found friend thanks to Angie at Lucky Pony!

I won't reveal the surprise just yet incase my friend see's :) But expect a full post on that one coming soon! Here's a bit about my friend, I hope she likes what i've chosen for her! Her name is Bongi and i've included her first message to me, she's so lovely!

Hello Indi, this mail has brought me such joy. I've been sitting at my desk breathing through my mouth the whole day because i've got the flu for the 3rd time this winter so I really needed to hear some good/exciting news.  Thanks for telling me about your blog, i'm sure it'll help a lot with pressie ideas... Sadly I suffer from an illness called procrastination so grand plans for a blog have never been realised but looking at your blog i'm sure i'll love whatever you come up with.

Bongi hails from Jo'burg but lives in Durban! She shops second hand and reckons she has a horrible afro that refuses to be obedient! She loves both bright and pastel colours, despite the fact that she works at Saltwater Girl she's not a water baby - at all! Her idea of hanging at the beach is having drinks in a cute floral romper! She loves second hand stuff and dreams of launching her own clothing label.

I like her! I think i'll keep her, thanks Angie!

More to come!

My little baby, NiceFind.

So I know things have been super slow on my side but I am going to be taking my little blog to new heights soon soon. The reason for this being is that I have resigned from my cushy little job as an art director at an ad agency in Jozi, for a life run by me :) Next week is my last week! EEEEEk, i'm excited but scared! Anyone out there that also quit their job to follow their dreams? What got you through the fear and pushed you on, advice!? Please! :)

I have a few things in the pipeline which I hope to share with you all (which will include DAILY posts, and hopefully actually giving my little blog the chance it deserves!).

So, for now, here's a little give-away!

I have a group on facebook called NiceFind which is also my Etsy shops name :) Its a little space for people to share their nice finds be it fashion, food, blogging or something you just think is darn cool.

I tried making a little plant necklace for a friend and it was uber fun and quite successful! I'll also be making a tutorial shortly on how to make your own!

But if you just can't wait, here's the *giveaway*

NiceFind is giving away a rock rose necklace custom made especially for you, it comes with care instructions, a little dropper for watering and all you need to know to care for your treasure! All you have to do is share a photograph or story of one of your nicefinds. (regrets, only Jozi South Africa) *CLOSING DATE* *27th of April*

Just go to NiceFind to share :) and like, if you like of course!

Say hello to NiceFind.

NiceFind is exactly that, a nice find! I am such a hoarder. I love old things, i love things that have a history, a story.

I have a treasure trove of jewelery from the 70's upwards. A small room full!

I have also taken to collecting awesome finds from vintage shops over the last few months, so i can share with like minded people!

I'm trying to set up an Etsy store at the moment have already done my photoshoot for my first batch to be put on sale. I'm just struggling with linking my FNB to my Paypal account, but it should be sorted out soon, I just haven't had time to call them!

I know i've been really bad with blogging lately but i've fixed my 3g card so I hereby solemnly swear to post at least 3 times a week. No excuse now! right?

I would love advice from any other bloggers out there. How do you handle your posts? How do you get more followers? How do you keep them?

I love my blog because it's me. It's how i express myself, its how i show other people cool things. Don't you remember the days when you found something cool, took a picture and the only time you shared really was by word of mouth or on the off chance you were carrying your photo album around. Now i have a blog.

I love my little soap box. Even though sometimes i feel like no ones listening.
