The Himba Tribe (& Shadow Shot Sunday)
I really like this photo. I'm not sure why. Maybe because of its beauty in its simplicity.
I took this photo last year when we visited the Himba Tribe people in Namibia. It was a thoroughly interesting visit to meet this group of nomadic people and learn about their life and traditions.
But at the same time it made me think more about the impact this modern world is having on traditions - theirs, mine, yours, ours. Is it for the better or worse and do we really have a choice?

Introducing PPAccessories!
I have been dilemmaring for ages as to whether to open a second store for my earrings and I have finally taken the plunge and opened up PPAccessories. I thought this would be a good time as I'm still trying to reduce all my stock before we move!
I've only listed a few items so far but hope to add a new item or two each day and slowly move my earrings from PPDesigns to PPAccessories.
Hope you will have some time to stop by PPAccessories and say hello!!

CONDITION: AVERAGE

New Pieces (& Shadow Shot Sunday)
I've been a bit distracted with clearing my house and listing some items on this blog for my 'Blog Sale' that i've neglected letting you all know whats new in my shop the past week or so!
The first thing are these great little notebooks that have a front over of some of my photos! They're great if you like my photos but just don't have any room to display them on your wall. With lined white pages you could use it take notes in class, jot down some of your creative thoughts, write reciepes or use as a travel/every day journal. Really the possibilities are endless!! I only got 2 made up at first to see whether there is much interest and i'm glad to say one has already sold!! YAY! The yellow one is still available and can be purchased here.
The other new items are brand new photographs that I have listed in my shop
Soussusvlei, Namibia

That last one i'm submitting for next weeks Shadow Shot Sunday as collated by Hey Harriet. I took this one after having walked about 5 kms in the desert and its scorching hot sun - i have loads of shadow shots from that trip as i was dying and had to take a rest stop every 5 mins under the pre-tense of 'i'm taking a photo'!!
And remeber all these new bits are part of the BOGOF Sale too!!

Edit 15/08/08 - All this pretty jewellery has found a new and loving home!! Thanks!
The next few posts of my blog sale are gonna be my bits and pieces of jewellery for sale. I seem to accumulate lots of jewellery but am a bit lazy and never actually wear any of them! So most of these ones I've listed have been only once or not at all!
These pieces weren't made by me and were shop bought so I can't list them in my etsy shop. I thought I could "dismantle" them and use them as beads for my own jewellery making but I think they look so nice as they are it's better to keep them intact and hope some others can enjoy them instead.

Cutie Pie Pink Kitty Radio - For Sale! [SOLD]
Edit 13/08/08 - This cutie pie pink kitty radio has found a new and loving home!! Thanks!
Ok well i've only had a handful of votes and of them 6 said go for it, 2 said iffy - but I was thinking last night - what have I got to lose really??
So here is the first of my Blog Sale Items - Pink Kitty Radio/Note Holder!
I bought this kitty in Oslo, Norway. It is actually a little radio disguised as a an uber cute pink pussy cat! I thought she was so cute. I didn't really have any use for her but somehow managed to convince myself (and hubby) that I would use here while in the shower! That lasted about 2 showers as I kept forgetting to turn her on. She then moved into my husbands office for a little bit - I thought he could use her while writing his notes...but a little pink pussy cat doesn't really sit well in a grown mans office....so poor old kitty spent the rest of her days as cute decoration on my bedroom windowsill.
Here are the deets on Cutie Pie Pink Kitty Radio:
- Height - approx 4" toe to top of ears
- Length - approx 4.5" from nose to bottom
- Colour - pretty pink
- Batteries - she needs 2 AA sized batteries (not included)
- She still works - I just tested her.
- She is approx 2 years old and in great condition
- Her pink eye is the on/off switch
- The silver eye is her scan button to scan for radio stations
- Her little silver mouth is the volume dial (and another on off switch)
- The little black cord is like an antennae if needed (also hides away in belly if not required)
- She has a little cut arch in her back where you can stick notes or photos (bonus!)
Kitty Price = $8
Shipping = $3 (UK), $5 (Europe) or $6 (Everywhere Else)
How to Buy
Send me an email to ppdesigns.etsy@yahoo.com (sorry I only have one so whom ever gets in first)
I will then send you a paypal invoice for payment in USD (GBP if you are UK)
Once I receive your payment Cutie Pie Pink Kitty Radio will be lovingly and carefully packaged and shipped off to your home!
Refunds & Return Policy
No refund/return for change of mind
If it is faulty send it back to me and when I receive it I'll refund (excluding shipping costs)

Blog Garage/Yard Sale Poll!
As I start going through all my stuff to pack I realise I have a lot of stuff that we will probably either throw out or give to chartiy. Normally back home in Oz we have garage/yard sales to try and get rid of some of our stuff but being in London means we are in tiny flats and therefore no garage or yard - plus garage/yard sale just don't seem to be done here which is a bit sad as back home whenever we are driving somewhere and see a sign for a garage sale i have to pull over and stop by - i love checking them out and hope to find some great finds!
Anyways I am getting way off track here. What I really wanted to know was whether if I put things up here on my blog whether any of you would be interested to see what I have and would you even consider buying from a blog (via paypal i guess). I can't list them on etsy as they are not handmade - mostly I have clothes that i've hardly ever worn (i am a terrible shop-a-holic!), jewellery, books and little knick knack gadets. I have other things but as I am in the UK those ones might be a bit big/heavy to ship to overseas - ofcourse if you are in the UK that's another matter altogether!
Here are the bits you might like to think about:
Many Many Thanks for your thoughts!!
Edit 07/08/08 - i've closed the poll! thanks for voting!

Here are the bits you might like to think about:
- Payment would be via paypal.
- I won't have a feedback system like etsy/ebay but you could always leave feedback in my 'comments' section.
- I have 100% feedback from etsy shop so I'm a reputable seller :)
- I live in the UK so you will need to pay shipping
Many Many Thanks for your thoughts!!

To help me reduce my shipping load back home i've decided to try and clear out some of my etsy stock so from now until I have to send all my boxes onto the big cargo ship i'm having a BOGOF MOVING SALE so please come on over and check out my shop you just might find something perfect for your home or office, or maybe even a lovely memory of a past holiday you went on, or something to look at to inspire you to create, travel or even cook!!
