Australia goes to the polls - even on Etsy!

Posted by Christiana (Tia) on Friday, August 20, 2010, In : Etsy Treasures and Favourites

Ok folks - it is election day here in Australia... apparently it is going to be a cliffhanger.
According to Etsy however Julia Gillard is clearly in front by 8 views - right now it stands 120/112 in favour of Julia.
Now you might be thinking - what on earth is Tia doing, looking for politicians on Etsy. Well, the truth is - I was looking for BUDGIES! And one of the results was this very Tony Abbott - ROFL! Aussies know the link between Budgies and Tony - no further explanation needed. The creat...

A visit to the RSCPA and DUSTY Dogs!

Posted by Christiana (Tia) on Friday, August 13, 2010, In : Etsy Treasures and Favourites

A few weeks ago I decided that I really wanted another canine fur baby. One that would hike with me in the bush, that wants to play with a frisbee or ball and is generally quite active in order to facilitate some rehabilitation for me.

Rosie, our resident QUEEN Dachshund,

is adorable, but - as most hounds go - she has her nose to the ground non-stop and we make very little progress when out and about, or she will run off after a rabbit and ignore my ball throwing efforts!
She still gets a walk...

Rainbow Alert!

Posted by Christiana (Tia) on Wednesday, August 4, 2010, In : Etsy Treasures and Favourites

Here in Moonambel we have the Nature Channel on a BIG screen 24/7 - no remote control needed! With a variety of over 50 bird species, many more kangaroos (in fact - they outnumber the town population by 50:1), wallabies, echidnas, snakes and many domestic and farm animals (often on the loose too - grrr - just this morning I had a 17hh horse trot past my lounge room window and through the garden!) - but best of all - we get spectacular rainbows. Check this one out:

Isn't it just spectacular?...

For the Love of Turtles!

Posted by Christiana (Tia) on Monday, May 17, 2010, In : Etsy Treasures and Favourites

My first pet was a tortoise – Bumbi (named after a german cartoon character).
This sparked my lifelong passion and interest for these ancient land and water creatures (the water dwelling ones are commonly referred to as Turtles).
Four years ago I went to Hawaii for a weeklong drumming workshop – yes yes.... it is a hard life.
One day, while I was swimming (or more like 'floating') in the ocean, relaxing my mind and body, I suddenly felt something nudging me in the right shoulder!

A 'whole lotta Rosie' - and Free Postage Offer for DUST Team Members!

One of the highlights of coming back to AU was not being reunited with AC/DC but ... with our Rosie!

She endured a couple of weeks in a strange boarding kennel and was more than delighted to see us again! She is nearly 11 now and I feel that she is getting a bit too old now for such an unsettling change, without her 'pack' and lots of TLC.
I dearly would have loved to take her with me of course, but an overseas trip is totally out of the question.

Below are a couple of other ' Rosies' that wou...

Autumn Warmers

Posted by Christiana (Tia) on Friday, April 9, 2010, In : Etsy Treasures and Favourites

Whatever happened to Autumn? Those milder, sunny days and cooler nights?
We got hit with a cold snap and suddenly I am scrambling to find the winter gear - some of which I had already packed into my suitcase, ready to head off to Amsterdam next week. While I was enjoying a hot cup of BUZZinga

I took a virtual stroll down Etsy's shopping mall in search of something warming and cozy - and came across this gorgeous snuggler, handmade by SagoOnTuesdays!

Another item that caught my eye was this P...
