Daily Drop Cap

You may have been reading my blog regularly and perhaps noticed some beautiful Capital letters adorning the front of my paragraphs. Unfortunately I didn't craft these myself, they are by the wonderfully talented Jessica Hische, who has created a blog called Daily Drop Cap, each day she publishes a new hand crafted decorative Capital letter for anyone out there to use in there blogs. I love the idea and intend to use them in the near future. Check out the blog here: Daily Drop Cap

Harvey Nicks Raggy Dolls

I've been blogging less and less frequently due to being so busy and remembering posts I meant to do a while back so this one's a little late. I saw these rag dolls in Harvey Nicks last year some time, they are full sized and really lovely, dressed in clothes from the store. It was quite inspirational for me to see these as at the time I was making my own doll for the 'Momiji Couture contest'. I hope to make more dolls in the future hopefully of some of my own characters, until then I leave you with these beauties!

Update: These dolls were created by Cherry Hurren, click to see more of her fabulous work

Vintage Loveliness

One of my self confessed addictions is scouring ebay and etsy for vintage loveliness, so far this month I've bought a vintage trunk, a ceramic vanity set for my dressing table, a 1970s peacock chair and a silver afghan necklace. A girl just can't help it, affordable prices and originality in one....

This morning I came across this adorable blouse, at the moment I really like the idea of looking like a harlequin, and this blouse is perfect! As I scoured down the listing I was praying it would fit but Alas it wasn't to be, too small :-(

I thought I'd post it on here because at such a bargainous price this blouse deserves a good home!
