Morris Mini Farm

On Friday night at the shops I found this beauty! A 1963 Morris Mini 850. Cute enough on its own. But what I saw on the parcel shelf made me saw "Awww!".

Mini farm! What a cute idea!

GollyBard

GollyBard is a brand created by Holly Ward Bimba. She works on watercolours in her cottage in Virginia. The inspiration of her works are her natural surrounds. These include flora and fauna, life and death. Here are a few of my favourites from her Etsy.

I love the use of soft natural colours mixed with fine lines to create beautiful patterns within the works.

Herschel Vern Mathers

Here is my darling Herschel the blue tongue lizard, minging out on some toast last weekend. He is 6 years old but we have only owned him for 2 years. His favourite pastimes include being scratched under the chin, eating snails, drinking soy milk and chilling in the sun.
RESPECT.

New Vintage Style Pretties

I am terribly excited about some super cute vintage pieces I put together last week.

"Would you like your sundae with a cherry on top?" How could we say no to this cute little Kewpie doll?

This sweet necklace features an antique print from the cover of a children book ‘Cat Tales’. Two sweet kittens wearing bows looking playfully into a goldfish bowl. The little girl with Shirley Temple curls just want to play too!

This swallow print in delicate colours is taken from an antique childrens book. The print is framed in a vintage style silver toned frame with elaborate detail. Looks like it should be hung on the wall of a doll house!

A selection of other new bramble and bear pieces. More will be added each few days to Etsy. Why not check them out?

Etsy Hunt: A Spectacular Celebration

To celebrate my new pair of glasses, I have decided to hunt down some fellow spectacled creatures on Etsy.
