wearable art

Ooh look a new range of wearable art! Have a little squiz at fine artists Belinda Kemp’s range of lovely pendants and brooches. Her wearable pieces are a little deviation from her usual mixed media paintings. They are hand drawn and painted with acrylic paint and pencil on wood {and mat-satin varnished for UV protection} Pop over to her etsy shop for more details.

Blythe

Even if you don’t have a Blythe doll, Trio’s etsy site is too cute to ignore.  The ladies (a mum and her two daughters) behind the label are slightly obsessed with Blythe and have made her an impressive wardrobe to prove it. They only make two of each item or outfit to keep things original. Sweet.

pull up a cushion

Wanna come over for a beer and some cheese, perhaps? We'll throw a blanket on the grass and rest our heads on these little lovelies. We can pretend we're in some exotic summer holiday destination with the air filled with spice and a nice balmy breeze. How's next Sunday? Let's lock it in. Photo from here.

kissyface

We first met Rikki over at Semi Permanent when it landed in Perth a few years back. We discovered bookstores and drank boutique beer together, all the while discussing the merits of Cormac McCarthy. These days, the delightful miss runs a tiny online shop called kissyface and makes handmade wooden brooches and bowties for those extra special occasions.

the tailor's stories

Here’s a cool vintage shop we stumbled upon this morning. It’s a well-priced and neatly-presented indie collection of LA second-hand clothes. Expect there are no moths or mustiness here, as the Tailor's Stories duo dry-clean and hand wash all of their garments. Strike while the Australian dollar is still hot.

clare owen

UK Illustrator and one-time frankie poster artist (issue 36) Clare Owen has stocked up her etsy shop with illustrated prints of sweetness: sewing baskets, snow globes and birdcages. Just thought we’d let you know, in case you fancy taking a look.

winter warmers

We love these hot water bottle covers! Made from vintage wool blankets, they’re the perfect match for our new flannel sheets. Thanks My Poppet!

the dubliners

Fancy a tea party? Well, I'll have an earl grey, milk, two sugars, and please pass the cucumber sandwiches. Pure Harte makes us all want to put on a tea party (or at least get invited to one) with their girly hues and full skirts. Out of Dublin, they want us to see their new range of pastel niceness and pretty pics. With the help of jewellery designer Alice from Alique Boutique, Pure Harte definitely has us grinning.
