Zine Review ~ Vintage Affair, Issue 1 {Video}
Hello lovelies! Today kicks off my brand-new video review series - hurrah! Do you like videos? I do - I love to hear and see a blogger 'in real life' (although, I'll be honest, I don't tend to watch long ones!). Don't worry though, it's only just over 3 minutes, so it...
Who’s up for a #craftybizchat with me on Twitter each week?
I've been thinking... you see, I love to jump into relevant chats on twitter - but it seems that most of them are hosted by folks in the US, and so the timezones are always tricky for me to get involved with! Since I run my crafty businesses as my full-time gig, I...
What I Wore ~ To My Lunch-Date
On Tuesday, I took mum out to lunch to say thank-you for being my post-lady while we were in the UK. This is my brand-new-old vintage dress that I got recently from Bess Georgette (thanks Teresa!) - I love it! Especially the belt - how cute is that? It's definitely...
Sometimes, the story just makes it that little bit more awesome…

Taste Test ~ Have you taken it? {WARNING ~ Prepare to be addicted}
So, have you tried the new search feature on Etsy - the Taste Test? I've tried it a few times now, and oh my, so many pretty things have been brought to my attention... Basically, Etsy shows you 6 items, and you click on the one you like the best. If you don't like...
The V&A Buttons! I made them into…
Rings! And magnets! I loved the ring suggestion the most, so I made this lot into rings using some Vintette ring bases I had lying around. I'm pretty darn happy with the outcome 🙂 And as for the last few floral ones, I glued them onto some cute round super-strong...
Thrift-o-rama! And all for under $20!
So, after my thrifting adventure on Wednesday, I thought I'd show you my haul! I was quite chuffed to get all of this for under $20. I visited 4 op-shops during my travels, and bought stuff in 3 of them. The most expensive find was this silk/satin skirt from Vinnies,...
I’m back in business, baby! (and I’ve got a pretty groovy special for ya!)
You know, it can be rather tricky to get back in the swing of things after a long holiday. I hadn't really taken a break from my biz since I went full-time back at the beginning of 2010 - and when we went away it took me a good week or two to relax. By the time we...
