I want/need this....

OK! I think it's about time I had a break from sewing and did a bit of online window shopping. Good idea?

Here are just a few things i found (sigh) -

This lovely vintage dress, in my favourite shade of green from {twin set}.

OK! I must admit, I'm not a huge fan of tattoos but when they have illustrations by French artist Alain Gree, how can I resist. I found these sweeties at Kidostore.

How adorably delicious are these reproduction retro vintage dolls from Lapin & Me.

A knitted Birthday cake from Creme de la Creme ala EdgarSuper . Super sweet but without the calories.
I'm in love with this vintage Tom Thumb kids size typewriter from Blue Carrot. Just look at those bright green keys....love it!

This sweet one of a kind retro necklace by Mad Mame. Love the vintage enamel earring and chunky white beads...very clever.
This adorable vintage mushroom kitchen canister set is from Freckle Wonder.

Well that was fun and I didn't even spend one cent...er....not yet anyway.

Now! back to sewing.

things I'm loving this week.....

I can't wait to get my hands on this beautiful book. Its full of great pics from talented artsy/crafty folk. It's been put together by the clever people at Frankie magazine and hits the news stands on 17 November......yippee.
Sweet illustrations by Nan Lawson. Check out her etsy shop.



How sweet is this leather hand stitched apple brooch? It's just one of the lovely items on offer at this too-sweet-for-words shop. I've been a subscriber to their newsletters for ages, so I was so excited to hear that they have finally opened an online store. Now I won't have to travel all the way to Denmark to get my Creme de la creme fix.

Love this tutorial on crocheted clothes hangers.......very nana chic.

The cutest lamp......EVER! from probably the cutest online shop I have ever seen - Bianca & Family.

These 70's inspired shoes by Swedish Hasbeens....too many colours and styles to choose from.

Hope that made your day a little brighter. It sure cheared me up :)

Things i really like.....

RICE home wares!

I love the cling wrap dispenser.

Vintage cabochons!

Just a few from my collection.

Can't wait to make something lovely with these.

Little boy tshirts!

The lightning bolt one is by Munster
