holy moly!

for sara.

parisian green.

thank you to the makers of this brilliant little idea!

very sweet and deliciously cute!

a porcelain alternative to the nasty paper/plastic coffee cups which are eating the planet's heart strings!

plus, so many fetching designs to choose from!

something to dream about.

this is a little something i'd been working on late thursday night after work... it's made to catch dreams, but hopefully so they stay near by so i can remember them...

Morning Wall

after coming back from europe last year and subsequently losing everything that had once been important to me, i made a wall to commemorate all that had happened and to remind me that i was a stronger person for having been through it.

this week, i decided the memory should remain just that, rather than a constant reminder that i woke up to every morning.
so, this is the new and improved Morning Wall.

my new old plate.

i read Candy last year after watching the infamous Heath Ledger film adaptation and i wish i'd read it first. the film definitely does the novel justice, but to go through Luke Davies' words was truely an ethereal experience- for me anyway.

there were sentences and phrases i just wanted to underline or highlight (but couldn't because i borrowed the book from my cousin). i read and re-read them and posted them on my walls and made artworks about them and burned them into my memory.

yesterday i decided to extend my love of his words to my other one true love- of everything vintage and sweet. 

this is what came of that venture...

here's just a little of my own handiwork...

this is my greatest creation to date... i made it on a rainy day out of new and vintage fabrics and it tags along with me on all my adventures. the best rucksack anyone could ask for- cuddly doubling as a pillow when stuffed with travel clothing!!
