Vintage Shoe Fetish

Today i spent some quality time looking at vintage shoes on Etsy...

Unfortunately cannot wear any pairs as i am on my feet a lot and need comfy ones but appreciate the style of these...

Wow! A Cow in my Living Room!

I adore the work of this artist.

Miniatures dollhouse elements and farmhouse animals!

Kitschy, colorful, with a vintage twist...just what i would like for my new space!

Check out the work of WildLifePrints here!

Today I want to show you the first of a series of things i yearn for...

This amazing computer keyboard is one of the things i would love to own in a perfect world, where my house would be filled with amazing finds and not the crafty mess that is my reality... Woodguy32 has found a unique way to merge the past with today's technology...aesthetics with function. check him out!

Dreamy!...

"Plum Pretty Sugar has been a journey. Dreamful, lesson-filled but sweet goodness nonetheless." says Plum Pretty Sugar in her profile and i think her creations fit that description perfectly.

Simple, dreamy caftans and dresses in romantic or tropical prints always ethereal!

Finds her designs here http://www.etsy.com/shop/plumprettysugar

Tattered Victoriana

I looove her shop!

The designs and the presentation alike...enjoy a bit of tattered romance :)

My First Etsy Treasury!

These are curated lists, one compiles from all the sellers on Etsy...Usually they have a theme, a color, material, target group etc...I managed to get my first one on my first attempt! These are notoriously hard to get! But i was very systematic about it :)

Above is a screenshot to get an idea...

Seashore Magic

Here is a seller I discovered on http://www.etsy.com/

Helen is the creator behind hmsdesigns http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5256671 is from the U.K. and is a textile designer that dabbles in mixed media as well.

She creates greeting cards, aceos and wall art combining elements from the beach and sea, together with lovely hues and textures. I already purchased 3 cards from here today and plan to place them in a frame as a trio for my seaside place...

p.s. She also has some romantic silk heart hangings... :)

Let Them Eat Cake!

Another super imaginative find from http://www.etsy.com/ ... (can't help if I am addicted to the site!)

These filigree rings are made from what I imagine are dollhouse patisserie cakes, made into beautiful vintage inspired adornments. As the creator mentions, these are not for heavy duty wear, but will make a great impression when worn say at an intimate dinner :)

So cute they can even replace your desert!!

Amazing Recycled Vintage

I discovered a talented designer on Etsy.com a while ago and wanted to share with the rest of you vintage junkies :)

She is http://www.louiseblack.etsy.com/

She utilizes antique and vintage pieces in her clothing and jewelry but the piece de resistance is her handmade corset. So popular they have been on Etsy, she was overwelmed with orders!

Check out her work and add her to your favourites, as it is well worth checking back often to see her listings.

Vandalised Vintage

These are a long time favourite of mine...just the right mix of vintage love and irreverance!

Recycled vintage plates are embellished with heat fused ceramic paint in naughtly words, biblical saying or in kooky portraits of the famous... Custom orders are also accepted so imagine what a cool gift this would make for your computer nerd or fashion victim friend!

Jessica discovers mineral make up :)

I haven't been exited about makeup since I was 13 and discovered liquid eyeliner ala Marilyn Monroe! But now I am experimenting with some new natural products that seem to work really well with my skin creating a smooth porcelain finish, not stuffy and dusty as normal powder makes it.

I ordered some samples from pinkquartzminerals, a seller on my favourite website, etsy.com, after reading some reviews on the forum and was instantly hooked!

The foundation and blush were so natural looking and skin friendly I was amazed. A matt but fresh complexion is what I was looking for and got it with these products. The green corrector powder was a bit tricky to set properly but after trying a different slanted brush I managed to cover my red areas around my nose perfectly.Even with the mini kabuki brush the powders went on smoothly once you figure out the way (a light circular motion) and the minimum powder spill I get when I tap the brush on my vanity is well worth it.

I received my large containers today (foundation, blush and veil) and am all set for my winter face! The eyeshadow samples Doree sent as well are stunning, very much like the Mac make up collection but all natural & vegan which is so much better.
