Etsy shop now open for biz

Apologies for lack of posts over the last year...I've been beavering away designing some pretty new prints (among other things) which can now be purchased through my Etsy shop.  You see these and more in the shop which I've just updated, ideal for home and nursery wall art.  Hope you like them!!

Bonkers about Buttons (and fifties style dresses)

A rather disjointed post but I just love these two images. This dress is adorable, love the contrast of the grey and red underskirt. Think it might go prettily with this lovely necklace seen on Bonkers about Buttons.

Lightbulb moment!

Flippin' amazing! Absolutely loving this unique way of repurposing an old lightbulb, into something beautiful - found via feefearn, this is the work of Souther Salazar. You can see more of her work on her blog. Click here to visit his etsy page.

Bag Lady

I've always been a bit of a bag lady but now I have set my sights on something a bit different - the manbag, which I seem to have a penchant for of late! I love their sturdy, no nonsense look.

Gone Dotty for Dottie

shop

blog

I came across Dottie Angel a little while back and love how Tif, a brit living in Mossy shed, Seattle encompasses the retro look but her work has such a fresh crafty feel to it. One of my favourite things of Dottie's is the crochet covered jars.

Love this ...

I absolutely love this jacket and the whole outfit, I must look at this image at least once a day hmming and ahhing about whether to purchase this lovely bit of leather from Clyde 129766 on Etsy (update: they have taken out of their Etsy shop, either that or its all sold - GUTTED!!)! I love the jeans too, I'm on the hunt for skinny slouch jeans but they are always either too skinny (NOT flattering on my footballers legs) or too baggy so I end up looking like a small boy! Anyone got any suggestions where to pick up some jeans or jackets similar to these bad boys, let me in on their whereabouts!

Like China on your Hands...

...Love these. What a great way to upcycle charity shop china! Made by StayGoldMaryRose found via conversation pieces.

Love Life

I was trawling through Flickr the other day, which I haven't done for ages, I've been so busy and what a treat when I came across these gorgeous hand-stitched pillows from Three Red Apples who has an etsy shop and is based in Devon, UK. The perfect place to lay a weary head!

Mohair Bears

I did literally squeal with delight (my boyfriend thinks I have lost my mind!) when I saw these amazzzzing handmade bears. How have I not known about these before. They look so authentically vintage but are all handcrafted from mohair by the extremely talented Wendy of Whendi's bears.

Eco Bomb Squad

I came across these seedboms on Etsy.  I think they are a lovely idea.  They are the friendly bombs that grow, tools for Eco-Warriors and Guerrilla Gardeners.  They contain everything you need to start growing flowers practically anywhere. Use Seedboms to interact with your environment, join forces with nature and brighten up dull and lifeless places in your area by throwing them into derelict land, neglected spaces, fenced off eyesores or even your neighbour’s messy garden and watch them grow!

Seedboms are handmade from a mixture of eco-friendly, locally sourced, organic and recycled materials such as used egg boxes, shredded office paper, compost and a selection of easy to grow flower varieties and native wildflower seeds.

Peace4you

I came across these lovely bags on Etsy and had to share them with you.  They are made by Peace4you who are based in Germany.  They make their bags from old german navy kitbags and vintage navy leather jackets for some of the straps.  Upcycling at its finest.

Love this...

Infusion Fibers

OK, so I don't have a child who could wear these adorable booties, but one of you may and they are are just too cute!!  Lovely goodies from Infusion Fibers on Etsy.  I just took a look at her blog and she has recently left a job to start her own business.  I always admire people who take the plunge.

Sara Carr

I can't believe I forgot to blog about UK based Sara Carr when I first found her on Etsy.  Anyway, I stumbled back across her amazingly adorable creations and thought I would share them with you this time round.   I always envy people who can make such lovely woolly creations.  My attempts at using a knitting machine at university where much less successful. 

Homako

I recently came across Homako's shop on Etsy and she has some wonderful jewellery.  I just love the colors and textures.

Its -5 degrees outside...

...and Jack Frost is nipping at my whole body!! ... its making me think I need a new coat.  These ones from Yellowcake on Etsy are just gorgeous.

Fox & Clover

Lovely jewellery and bowls by Fox and Clover via Etsy made using recycled glass and handpainted doily inspired details to create lovely pieces.
