Here's some of my new beads...

Oh orange....I'm in love with you and your orange-ness

   

Today my post is about Orange. The colour.

It's my favourite colour in the world - it makes me literally salivate - smile. 

So, here we have it - some of the things I love that are orange:

Sucker for souvenirs

I see an Information Centre in a town which I have never visited before - I go in.

If I don't see a pen for sale, I throw a tantrum and it sure ain't pretty.

But thankfully Ross - the cutest little town on the West Coast of the South Island has an Information Centre that sells pens and is also open 7 days a week.

Located in the historic end of the town, the old Bank of New South Wales houses a vast collection of great souvenirs as well as the crappy stuff. I love a bit of crappy.

Priced at a good old $1.70 - I had to buy a few pens.......postcards and of course, the infamous souvenir teaspoon for the 6-times-daily-at-least cuppa tea!

The old pub in this town is a gem as well. Dating back to the early 1900s, I am sure it was a "knock shop". But who cares....it's all part of it's spiciness.

 One of the many pub dogs.

 Stoking up the fire - with an entire tree!

The stag that sees everything (he told me it was once a 'Knock shop')

So, of course - I had to didn't I.... (they didn't sell pens...OK!) :)
