Is it just me, or does my Film Friday images have a lot of theme parks in them? Does the novelty of using film and going to somewhere zane-y correlate? I say 'yes'! Rose Hope

You may or may not know that Sarah and I own a darling lil' boutique on Auckland's bustling and creative K' Road. It has transformed dramatically since our beginning four years ago, and I can't imagine that the remodeling will ever end. Partly because it is so much fun, and also because our ever changing products need a certain somethin'-somethin' that we will have to design for. Rose Hope

When you get a once in a life time opportunity to get a free ride in a helicopter, and your camera only has TWO shots left, and your digital has no battery. DEVASTATING. Rose Hope

This DIY is so very easy, fun, and effective! You could even view it as a concept and get carried away with other shapes and for any occasion. Rose Hope

Every year, my family and I go to Sydney - more specifically, Milsons Point. If I ever go missing, this is where I will be. You will find me in my happy place bathing and dipping in the North Sydney Olympic Swimming Pool, sandwiched next to Luna Park and the Harbour Bridge with a stunning view of thee ol' Opera House.  Rose Hope

We decided that the 'Traditional Christmas' needed a re-vamp, so we turned to the conventional wreath and designed a way to make it more functional and modern! We turned it into a fresh floral wreath with an added bonus of having it be decorative around a serving bowl - it will make for a great centre piece! We used Rosemary and Berries, but you could really use any flora and fauna! Rose Hope

We were lucky enough to be asked to be a guest stylist for Dish magazine's November Issue - It was all about making a crafty, Christmas table setting. This DIY is how the talented-steady-handed Sarah made the plates! Rose Hope

Last year, I got hitched and spent my honeymoon in Hawaii! We first stayed in the bustling Waikiki before driving around the island and spending the rest of our time in the gorgeous and serene Turtle Bay. Hawaii is awesome, but give me a beach and a cloudless sky anywhere and I'd be happy. Rose Hope

I've recently got three rolls of old film developed, and it is honestly like a time capsule! My Diana Mini is the perfect choice for my time at Disneyland and at Sydney's Luna Park - It has that sense of playful nostalgia that we all know and love. Rose Hope

The Auckland Art and Craft Fair is one of those events that we all look forward to each year because it is super inspiring, full of 'hustle-and-bustle', and has just general good vibes! Here's a look at our time there in pictures; Rose Hope
