A Big Thank You!
I started this blog a little over a year ago, here’s my first post. At the time I didn’t really know what to expect, but the newly launched Technorati had this little graph (which seems to of disappeared now), it was blank for me – said it “only tracked the top 100,000 blogs”. So at the time I thought, that’s what I want to achieve, get into the top 100,000 blogs so that I get a little graph!
Well the graph feature might of gone, but today I noticed that I’ve finally made it into the top 100,000. I’m chuffed to bits and just want to thank everyone for popping in over the past year and I suppose more importantly for those folk who’ve linked me up (I think that’s how Technorati do their rankings?).
I find looking at my blog statistics endlessly fascinating, I’ve had a big increase in visitors over the past month or two (I’m on about 750 uniques a day at the moment) although most of them seem to after either my inflatable bikini or anal sex t-shirt post…

Ninjas & Moustachios
Ninjas & Moustachios are friends, I’d agree with that, and now for only $1 I could promote that belief with this vinyl sticker from Shawnimals.
Stripey Deckchair Fabric
Probably the wrong time of the year to post this, but I’m quite excited about finding a shop that specialises in stripey deckchair fabric.
ABC Button
This is such a good idea – a 9 hole button! You sew them on them on to spell out different letters, pitty the actual buttons look a bit shite. 9 Euros for 2 from Charles & Marie.

Lots of Business Cards
“I admire the card as a medium for artistic expression and communication. Marveling at the typically tiny size but also the concept, story, meanings and design subtleties. Then I am absolutely captivated by the endless possibility for expressing an individual, a philosophy, an aesthetic or concept through the design with type, copy, materials and processes…”
Daily Poetics has a huge collection of nice business cards. And also an interesting blog with more nice things

Online Haberdashery
I bought some buttons and bits and bobs from MacCulloch & Wallis online store last night. I must say out of all the other online haberdashery type stores I’ve visited online, this is head and shoulders above the rest. Large variety of interesting stock, easy to navigate and use. Only shame was that they slapped on £8 for postage at the last minute, which seems a tad expensive for delivering a bunch of buttons to the other side of London.
They’ve been around since 1902, their store is Mayfair, sounds quite interesting, will have to pay it a visit next time I’m in town.
