Fab Finds #9

Aren't these earrings fabulous?! (I just treated myself to a red pair!).

'shiny-hearts-earrings' in blue & sterling silver


These are from the delightful Italian Etsy shop KOSMIKA owned by lovely lady called Laura!

 She lives live in Perugia, in the middle of the green and beautiful Umbria, in central Italy.

 in a small apricot-orange house, just out of town and loves sewing, knitting, messing with paper and glue and anything that is creative and can make herself and other people happy.
Here's a couple more pics of her work...

love,

Fab Finds #5

There are so many beautiful things on Etsy and the internet in general that I come across every day.
That I covet every day  : )

Dear Santa, (if you happen to be reading this)
I would love these! (I have been good. Honestly, I have!!)

I have a 'thing' for vintage globes, this one is from Bella Lulu


You might gather from my picks that I have a lust for travel. I have travelled quite a bit, but there are so many more places I'd like to visit: Prague, Tibet, Peru, Brazil, Cambodia and Cuba to name but a few...
And what about YOU, where would you love to go??

In the shop today...

I have a few bargains in the shop at the moment, including this pack of  Blue Vintage buttons at half price.
Why don't you come take a little looksee! I'll make some cocoa for you - it's a bit wet and dreary here today! : )

Fab Finds

I spend a LOT of time on the internet and I am always finding fab things.

I'd like to share these with you my friends, so this is the first post, of what will be a regular feature on my blog, and I shall name it "Fab Finds!"!!
{Rather apt, no??!!}   : )


Endless Summer brooch by Fleur Fatale

This morning some guys came and trimmed the overgrown, unruly bush, outside my workroom window. Said bush was right up to the roof, but now there's lots more light coming in and I can see the blue sky, lots of green leaves, and the house opposite is painted a kind of pale chartreuse green.

So, today I am inspired by combinations of different blues and greens. 
 I am especially loving the pairing of 
AQUA & CHARTREUSE
