Seasons Eatings 2013 Wall Calendar - Dear Colleen

A friend of mine writes for a few blogs and recently did a post on calanders for 2013. You can read it here.
The post features this rad calander by Dear Colleen:

I love the idea behind this calander which acts as a monthly guide to what New Zealand produce is in season and for sale at markets and shops.

Each months page is illustrated beautifully with bright fruit and vegetables that are sure to have you craving your 5+ A Day as well as leaving you drooling for the return of your favourite juicy, ripe citrus or stonefruit.

It's also an investment in assisting you with saving money in the long term and helping the planet (well that's how I look at it . . .) By knowing what to buy in season you'll be buying produce that's fresh, grown locally and most probably costs less. It's also printed on re-cycled paper. Yuss!

Hooray for another perfect Christmas gift! (Wishlist if anyone is wondering).

Buy yours online at the dearcolleen Etsy shop.

Before I Die I Want To

The 'Before I Die' art project  has just been set up in St Patricks Square (43 Wyndham Street, Auckland) and I want to go!



It's an interactive piece and like her other projects, is designed to make cities contemplate in the hope that a collective public engagement can bring together ideas and make better communities. I think it must work a treat. And it kind of shows that on a whole we are all so different, but deep down still so the same.













Here is what Candy says of the idea:

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. When I lost someone I loved very much, I thought about death a lot. This helped clarify my life, the people I want to be with, and the things I want to do, but I struggled to maintain perspective. I wanted to know what was important to the people around me and I wanted a daily reminder. So with help from old and new friends, I painted the side of an abandoned house in my neighborhood in New Orleans with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” so anyone walking by can pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space.


I think her other work is pretty cool too.
