Let Your Hair Down

As someone who is in desperate need of a haircut, I find myself drawn to all sorts of images of hair, wondering if it's time for a pixie cut or a return to brunette-dom at the very least. As tends to be the case however, it's when you've stopped looking that you find an unexpected spark of inspiration. Spotted at Where The Lovely Things Are, I'm absolutely loving these delicate illustrations - and better yet, they're all available at nosideup's Etsy store!

I think I'll keep my hair long for the time being.Now just to master something a little more elaborate than a stock-standard pony tail!

Friday Finds

I've been obsessing about the great range of ceramics on Etsy for weeks now, but I'm still waiting patiently for the Australian dollar to be worth something again (ha!) In the meantime though, I thought I'd share around some of my favourite ceramic finds so that I've done my part to send them to good homes.

These gorgeous little guys are by Popkraft, our friends over in Auckland. What I would do to own a set of these all for myself! Come onnnnn Australian dollar!

This adorable vase is from slightly further afield, from Canadian store AmyJaneClayAddict. Perfect for disorganised people like myself who never quite get around to buying fresh flowers, it even comes with a removable hand pinched ceramic flower.

I'm completely infatuated with these ceramic pillows from Brooklyn-based Djena. Sure, it's probably not the most comfortable nights sleep you'll ever have, but definitely...

...THE COOLEST BOOKENDS EVER! Hot diggity!

Bejewelled Bespoke's first post - Colour!

I am totally obsessed with colour.

I think it is cheeky - like my man's dark navy bespoke suit with the bright pink and yellow paisley inside lining which flashes its underside as he walks. It can be daring – like a bright emerald green one-shoulder Grecian dress with white opal and gold chandelier earrings in a room full of little black dresses. It can be uplifting – almost delectable block upon block of fragrant handmade soap in all shapes and sizes.

That said, here's my pick of colour from Etsy:

starletvintage - Vintage 70s Oscar de la Renta dress

haroldandjane - Lost in the Sun necklace

greygardensvintage - 70s grecian goddess dress

santokivintage - Vintage colourful leather bag



pattycakesplunder - Red napier beaded necklace

desertsoapstone - soap sampler

For more colourful and daring options, take a wander to my store on Etsy!

Porcelain dream

I have this idea of my perfect bedroom. The walls would be an eggshell colour with lime washed floorboards, quirky antique furniture and vintage linen. And scattered around the room would be sweet little porcelain figures in all manner of pastel shades.
