Winter Blooms

 I was asked to create a bridal hairpiece for a friend recently.

I took a couple of quick pics in our garden, amid beautiful 

winter blooms, before sending the lovely thing on it's way.

I've posted some beautiful pictures from the wedding on 

A Modern Fable if you fancy a little peek into the day. xo

Dolly LOVE

For my birthday tomorrow I'd love...

One of these beautiful living doll assemblages
created by Earth Sea Warrior

And a couple of these geometric terrariums... 

pretty pretty please? x

stealing beauty

How beautiful is this lace curtain that Elisabeth's

putting together for her little swedish cottage?

I think I might have to steal this idea away

for some corner window in our house...

perhaps this one? The staircase is beautiful, but 

this corner of the room could use a bit of help.

It's quick and simple to use... give it whirl!

Museum of Black and White No. 5

A Day At The Show

I took a self portrait in front of the bathroom mirror with 

last year's dolly purchase, before we headed to the show.

One of my favourite brooches, a gift from my lovely friend Nat. 

The image on it is from 'Waiting for Goddess' by Destiny Deacon.

The sweet little lucky number bangles are by yours truly

and will (hopefully) be available in  my shop soon!

Mmmm... cotton candy. Yum!

I simply couldn't resist bringing this darling little 

polka dot skirted kewpie dolly home with me... 

Ari and I had fun in the Magic Circus Funhouse.

What a lovely time we all had at this year's Show!

                          Ari's always looking for fairies...

                 

My wonderful piano key socks are by 

Kirsten Perry from her Numero Uno range,

you can purchase your own pair here.

The decoupage bangles are of my own label

and will be available from my shop in July.

  

Recently I stumbled across this interview 

on the Craft Victoria blog where Kirsten 

talks about her art,  life and inspirations.

I met Kirsten at the Rose St. Artist's Market,

where I also sold my wares for many a year.

I bought one of her fantastic ig toys for Ari 

and I've also got a handpainted ceramic 

skull necklace which I absolutely treasure.

I really love the humour of Kirsten's work.

You can visit her fantastic blog here 

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend too!
