I was just catching up on some blog reading and noticed the work of Lola's Room mentioned on the daydream lily blog.

Aren't these photos gorgeous?

Thanks to Lis from Daydream Lily for once again pointing out another great photographer!

Splash of Vintage Clutch

I have started going through my vintage fabric stash and putting together some new designs for the Finders Keepers Markets. I have been working pretty much solely on wedding clutches lately so I'm having great fun putting together fun designs for the funky Finders Keepers crowd.

I have added this girlie clutch to my online shop. You can check it out here.

Finders Keepers Success!

Yay! I recently found out that my application for a stall at the next Sydney Finders Keepers Markets was successful!

This is my absolute favourite market. It has the coolest vibe with great live music, a bar (thats right people, wine and shopping at the same time!) and loads of lovely people coming and going the whole time.

The markets will be on December 4 and 5 so be sure to clear your diaries as it is the best place to do your Christmas shopping and pick up some gorgeous, original and Aussie made goodies.

So you may have noticed that I have been a little absent on the blog front of late...this is due to lots of different reasons, some of which will be explained later.

But now that I have these markets coming up in around a month (and basically no stock on hand!!) I will be steadily building up my stock levels and trying to be a little more consistent with my blog. So come back and say hi soon :)

So unnecessary it's soooo necessary.

You know that feeling where you happen upon something that is ridiculously unnecessary but you can't fight the feeling that it would make your life so much better?

That's what I experienced when I spotted these matryoshka doll measuring cups mentioned over at decor8.

They nest inside each other like the real thing and perfectly measure out 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 and 1 full cup.

Making cup cakes just became even more fun! Check them out here.

Viking Love

Seeing my very own dad is a real life viking (he he he), I have a total soft spot for anything viking related so these cute, cute, cute plates from German artist Sandra Monat have stolen my heart.
