A Clockwork Golly

I've been an avid badge collector for years, though my acquisitions of new ones is rare these days. I stumbled across one on eBay during one of my many browsing sessions, that I simply couldn't resist.
My mother use to occasionally acquire herself a golly badge from Robertsons & I always thought they were quite adorable. The moment I saw this one, I just had to own it.

The badge is a custom design by Sticky Wotsits on eBay(a tribute to the golly badges available in the past). It's a beautifully executed design. These photos don't do the details justice.

I only own a handful of enamel badges, a majority of them are on my custom ACO jacket. All of my ACO enamel badges are from eBay(there's a couple of others I hope to gain in the future). The boots badge was just a spontaneous addition & not specifically ACO inspired, though I think it's a nice touch on my jacket.
The jacket was designed by me & I had it sew by a seller on etsy(suspect999, tragically her store no longer exists). It's one of my few 'unique' items & something I'm quite proud of.

These of course, are not the only ACO clothing/accessories I own, but definitely some of my favourites.

As always, I apologise for the delay with a new post. Just seems I'm a bit distracted lately.

New Toy or 'I'm a lazy blogger'

My A Clockwork Carrot arrived a few days ago. I procrastinated with taking photos & then when I went to get the task done, my camera died, resulting in even more delay. These instances only exacerbate my laziness. Finally I'm here though, to share my new goodies with you all. There I was, up late(or early), as I often am, when my new Kozik toy arrived. Always nice when I don't have to do a trip up to the post office to collect my items. The packaging is pretty basic, but I'm a fan of bags for light-weight toys. Bag headers are always fun too, if I ever create a toy it's probably what I'd start with.

Bit of a sneak peak at my cabinet in this next picture(really don't want to share my collection on my blog until I get my stuff back from the QLD museum). My cabinet is a little disorganized at the moment, but for now I think my new toy fits nicely where he is. I love big toys, 9inches is a great size. Hoping to hunt down the black & white versions as well over time, as it would be nice to have a complete set. For now however, I'm quite happy about the new addition to my collection.

My Cabinet - Forth Shelf

On a side note, it was my birthday on the 18th(I'm 28... getting old). I was recently browsing ACO item on etsy & shared a few things on facebook. A friend of mine decided it was necessary to send me a gift(please ignore my crappy photography).

Clockwork Orange Ring - BlueMargarita

Absolutely awesome gift, I shall wear it religiously! Got to love friends who enjoy enabling my obsession & who doesn't love random gifties?

Designer Jewellery or 'Pretty Things I Want To Wear'

A bit of a change from toy posts. A nice selection of jewellery pieces I've found. I hope to own many of these in the future. Though I imagine I might be pushing my luck with the rings. However, only time will tell & for now, I can continue to admire their awesomeness.
