Wonderful Things
Happy Friday lovelies! What are your plans for the weekend? I am closing all my jewellery stores tonight in preparation for our holiday (wheee!) and I shall spend the weekend catching up on orders, and hopefully doing some much-needed organising of my studio. But I...
What I Wore – To the Brisbane Etsy #CraftParty
I had a great time tonight at the Brisbane Etsy Craft Party! Did you attend one in your city? I made some new friends - yay! I thought I'd break out my current favourite dress... And dress it up with a few bits and pieces, like this 'Paris' scarf I inherited from my...
Fashion as Art – Alexander McQueen
I'm not much of a fashionista, but I have to admit I was blown away when I saw this collection by Alexander McQueen. It's an exhibition on at the NYC Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's the first time I've really seen fashion as art, rather than clothing. Most of these...
The Winter Garden… chillis, marigolds, beans, oh my!
It's now less than 2 weeks until we head on over to the UK. I still can't quite believe it - we've been planning this for at least a year now, and it will be my first time over there. No doubt I will be talking MUCH more about that not only in the next 2 weeks, but...

What I Wore – To Market!
Yesterday I spent another lovely clear winter's day at the Bleeding Heart Cafe Market. I thought I'd show you what I wore - another of my vintage mid-century dresses (I got this one from Studio 1950.)! This one's actually a bit big for me, so we had to punch a new...
New Cuties in the Vintette Store!
Morning lovelies! I've made a whole lot of new pretties for the Vintette store, so I thought I'd give you all a peek! This will be the last lot of jewellery I add before I close down shop on the 10th, so get in quick! This first one is definitely my favourite! This...
Wonderful Things
Today is the cusp of Winter/Summer, depending on where you are in this wide world of ours - so today's Wonderful Things are a mashup of both seasons. First - oh my gosh, I want this dress so bad!!!! It's perfect! Alas, I fear I have already spent too much fun money on...
