Start of something

Hi!

Remember me!? Yep, it's been a long time between drinks but I'm not sorry - I've been busy!

I've been living and loving and learning and having a ball.

What have you all been up to? So much has happened since we last caught up. I don't know where to start . . .

But I know you're going to love these floral necklaces we made for Jourdanne's hen's day last week. I'll post more soon. And give some hot tips on what to do. Burning yourself on the tips of ever finger with the hot glue gun is not recommended.

Are you hot where you are? It's 35 here today. And I'm home sick with an earache. Doc says it might be from flying. Might have to give up on those dreams of being a flight attendant after all. Ha!

Did you watch the Super Bowl? Bruno Mars was incredible! 

Happy Monday!

Putting the Rad into Radelaide

Adelaide's got its cool on.

And I love it!

What do you think of the new TVC produced by kwp!? It is a lovely new chapter in the South Australian story of late and I love what they've done with it.

Here was the stunningly beautiful and edgy Barossa ad.

And remember the Kangaroo Island winner?

There are going to be the haters, the people who don't recognise the Adelaide they've grown up in. They've cut me down before on this very blog.

But that's not who this campaign is for.

We're trying to attract tourists, visitors, new people, adventurers, foodies, explorers, internationals, sceptics, SA haters and investors.

But let's be brave, take risks and stand out from the pack.

This is different. And different is not wrong. It's just different.

** Editor's note: I showed my housemate this ad tonight and she thought it was terrible. Had no idea what it was promoting. Interesting. I'm looking forward to hearing what others think. Stepping away from my 'Adelaide can do no wrong' bias, it does look quite European or something. Maybe an ad for a technology company? Maybe I love the edginess of the ad rather than the message. I will stay tuned for the backlash . . .
