Lovely new Resin Jewellery store on Etsy

Aren't these Sorbet Skinny Bangles divine! I found the beautiful Drift Gifts on Etsy over the weekend, with a lovely shop owner to boot - Louise is from Brisvegas, say no more :-)





This sweet little cloud brooch may just be floating my way!



I hope you had a good weekend we went to a little school fair on Saturday and cleaned up in the second hand book department, scored a few other great bargains and Anya tasted her first fairy floss! Fun to be had all round. Happy Monday!

Spring, Spring, Pretty Things... Etsy Treasury

I really see how things get addictive! The top two rows are my favourite on this treasury I called, Spring Spring - Pretty Things. I had a little trouble uploading photos for this one but got there in the end. Can you tell I like monochromatic palettes?

Finally I made an Etsy Treasury!

I should have been 'resting' today as I have been feeling unwell but I snuck in a little time to make a quick treasury featuring some of my favourite things to brighten my day - Sarah Jane, Map Cushions by My Bearded Pigeon, Sugarloop, New Orleans, Washi tape and well you get the gist! I could have spent a LOT longer finding the 'perfect images' but time ran out... I'll stop sounding like the shoulda, coulda girl now!



"These are so amaaaaazing darling I need a lie down"

Valentines Treasury #2

Another Valentines treasury featuring my Romantic Red Chiffon headband by Lilliput Loft.

Porcelain Jewellery by MaaP Studio

Gorgeous contemporary porcelain jewellery from MaaPstudio. The above piece was featured along with my headband in the lovely Treasury yesterday.



Pieces are made from parian porcelain clay and inspired by nature - just my thing. I don't know if I could trust myself with a porcelain ring! I love these though.



You would certainly be wearing something unique sporting one of these lovely designs!

Grace Designs in Valentines Treasury

My fun sparkly Valentines headband featured in this gorgeous Etsy treasury today by Winchester Lambourne!

Love-ly

While I am on a Valentines roll.... these dreamy images are from Kristi at Life Through the Lens! I love the vintage vibe and props in Kristi's photos and lucky for you she has an Etsy store too - sweeeet x

A warm Whisper Treasury - 2011

My white blossom hair pins in my first treasury for 2011. Thanks Gret from A Little Red Ribbon! Gorgeous colours.

Repurposed goodness by Leslie Janson

Loving this re-purposed cuff by Leslie Janson on Etsy.



What a fabulous idea - these are Christmas ornaments but I think they would look great hung anywhere at any time! (pardon the pun).



More fabulous cuffs - made from vintage burlap and lovely rhinestone bling :-) What a great original idea!

Decor from Decoylab

Hello world we are back! I hope you had a lovely break ready for the challenges and fun times that 2011 might bring. Some fun items from Decoylab that I found via Mskat (otherwise known as Amanda).





I particularly like this wish list clipboard - pass it around the family for birthday and Christmas lists then hang in a common area for all to have a big eye. No excuses for not knowing what you want!

Gorgeous new stock - A little Red Ribbon

My cousin Gret has some gorgeous new stock in her etsy store! Some divine mini clutches made from 100% linen and vintage cotton. The bibs are the same materials. Soooo nice to have something a little different than the disney branded bibs etc.. Nice if you need to take bub somewhere nice like a wedding, restaurant or christening!

Friday Favourites - PiloSale on Etsy

Some lovely finds on Pilosale's etsy store. Yes the neutral tones got me... All items are handmade (of course) in Toronto, Canada in a coach house behind Heather's Victorian home... You get that sense just from looking at the photos - I can just imagine it!



Fabulous vintage nurse apron



Lovely bird mobile




Gorgeous sewing kit - a nice idea for a Christmas gift!

I may have bought this....

....stamp! Thanks Holly from Decor8 for the great find! I am not a big 'stamper' but loved the above stamp from Karaku and hopefully my little Grace Designs stamp will fit inside and will be lovely for thank you cards to accompany purchases... I am hoping to carve one of my own very soon...

Another lovely treasury - Softly Softly

Curated by Gret from A Little Red Ribbon :-) Includes my dusky pink headband top right.

Treasury - Ruby Realm

Vicki is the treasury queen, she has put together this lovely Ruby collection and included my red silk headband modelled by my lovely sister in law, Liz! I haven't tried the new Treasury East feature on Etsy yet... one day!

Denica and Frank - Etsy Bride

I was so thrilled yesterday when one of my Etsy's brides, Denica emailed me a link to her wedding photos taken by the very talented Emily Main! Here are a few shots of the gorgeous bride and her new husband! I truly love seeing my creations worn and appreciated! My fascinator was teamed together beautifully with a birdcage veil. I love ETSY!! More photos on Emily's blog. Oh and make sure you check out Denica's amazing shoes and flowers!!!!

Vintage Wood Type

I started with Vintage this week, so may as well end with it!!! Hubby is a big Typeface fan and I love true vintage and letterpress - so what a great combo you would think... only problem is hubby doesn't like 'stuff' and I do :-) We find a compromise though! These are from MonkiVintage on Etsy and really are quite small, they would look great on a shelf in the office or lounge room!



and I would of course need one of these to display them in....



Have a fabulous weekend!!!

DIY display board with door knobs

I found this clever display idea via Danni at Oh Hello Friend (one of my favourites)... I thought it was a beautiful way to display necklaces at her market stall.



I found a few cute door knobs on Etsy... (click on the image to take you to the individual Etsy store)

Vintage LOVE - Sadie and Olive

I found so many lovely Vintage goodies online over the weekend - I have had time to actually almost catch up on my blog reads and surf the net while waiting for this baby to arrive! Sadie and Olive was discovered via A Room Somewhere... sigh! So many gorgeous goodies. Oh I could shop up a storm. Aren't their photos just gorgeous!



The wire basket needs to come home with me!!! I am already fortunate enough to own a couple of old vintage camera's and some old spoons from my Nanna!

I hope you had a lovely weekend!
