Moo cards
Got my free Moo cards yesterday – hooray! They are really cute and cool. And, the good thing is they are cheaper than getting them done here. They’re about half the size of regular business cards (good, saving paper) and it’s US$20 for 100 for double sided colour printing, and laminated. Compared with I think…

Avondale market loot
We got off to a most excellent start today when we found a free parking space just outside the market. I was a bit worried as I only had $25 in cash – what if we saw something really good that was expensive!! The first thing we saw was $45 – an old magnolia painting…
