Hip to be Square

I smile at my fridge practically every day – it is pretty cool – cool, fridge, so clever – I know!  The wall in my office can sometimes bring a tear to my eye and take me on an emotional rollercoaster and although on some days I do feel I am losing the plot. I am not.  Sticky9 does that to you.

My smile today is brought to you by some small but magnificient magnets.

So you take the fabulous world of Instagram where we normal simple folk take an okay-ish photograph and make it pretty damn wonderful. Tweaking saturation levels or my personal faves (especially for selfies) vinergerette and tilt shift like we actually understand what we are doing! Anyway, add to that the people at Sticky9

and you get fabulous magnets to put anywhere you so wish.

 

 

What Sticky9 did is brought my little Instagram world to life. Why keep them trapped in your phone when they can be released into the real world? The small square bundles of joy came into my life over a year ago now and I simply cannot get enough of them.  I love Sticky9 with all my heart….

Wait – hold your instagram horses a moment. Writing this post can be a life changing experience. I have just found huggleup.com!!! Not only do I ADORE the name but they print 22 magnets for £12.50 which kicks Sticky9 out the park. I loved you Sticky9 to the moon and back but I am sorry we had fun, it’s not you, it’s me. Well it is you really but Huggleup have tempted me away . For now. It’s over.

Stop the press though as today (Tuesday 23^rd Sept) Sticky9 are offering 2for1. Using code SGG1FREE making it just shy of a tenner for 18.  Now I am torn. My heart says stay loyal to Sticky9 they have never let you down but my head says leave them and go with the  Huggleup - they are cute, young and so lush! Oh decisions, decisions!

So I got to thinking what else can I do to be square. Turns out – if it sits still long enough - someone will print it.

 

I have had some of my instagram pics printed as though they were polaroids which I really love but made me feel incredibly old as my daughter asked what a polaroid was.

When I showed her what Polaroid cameras did though – it blew her mind! ‘It’s like retro magic.” Retro?

My childhood is now becoming retro. That is for another post…fruit salads, black jacks, playing outside!

Turns out it was a Big Mistake showing her the Polaroid Website and the Christmas List has already started. #notevencoldyet

ImageSnap.com will print your grams onto Ceramic Tiles!! Fab-u-lous - this is from the US of A but I am sure with a bit more googling I can find something in the UK.

Coastermatic.com make the most fabulous – yes you worked this one out – Coasters but not just any old coasters (said in the M&S softly softly voice) - these are sandstone coasters. So have to try this out despite not owning coasters so far in my life now I feel they are essential. Although they have gone against the trend and gone round!? Round ?! How vary dare they? Do they not understand it is hip to be square...?

 

Please tell me I am not alone in finding this square lark super lovely so much so it makes me smile...... Pretty please
