Love Forever

This has been a very exciting blog discovery week for me!

I was quite taken by the craftings of Love Forever and this lampshade in particular.

Her lovely designs may be viewed in the book Complete Embellishings, available now!

Let me call you Sweet Heart.

My Dad found this beautiful music box for me last week. It's a vintage metal powder container that plays an old Bing Crosby tune, "Let me call you Sweet Heart". He hoped I could sell in the shop, but this one I'm keeping for myself! xx Thanks Dad xx

TOO hot to handle.

Talk about global warming...Read the article behind the photo and the project it is campaigning.

Fun Etsy Game

1). Pick a scenario — this can be an event or inspired by theme/ movie/ person/ etc.

2). Piece together an outfit — using items only available for purchase on Etsy.

3). Post your final design — and don't forget to give props to the crafters!

My outfit was inspired by the movie Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus. I've been slightly obsessed with her photography as of late and was compelled by the visual stylings of the film.

Earrings from kchulita; Clutch from huckleferry; Necklace from dreamalittledream; shoes from darhling; and Dress from solanah.

Not so zealous...

Hey Lovers,

Apologies for neglecting the shop this week:( I've been otherwise occupied with my media endeavors. But I've got a load of new items just waiting to be revamped and uploaded. Until then, there's some items (+ one new one) in the shop that could use a good home!
