This week...

I did a spring clean of my Mailing List. So a big welcome to any and all new subscribers to my blog posts. 

I am very happy to tell you that you can now find my Light Boxes in The Tuckmill Gallery in Naas Co. Kildare.  
Sorry the photograph is pretty pants. I'll take some prettier ones soon.

The feltmaking group I am part of set up our Exhibition in McCauley Place in Naas today. It will run for two weeks, a selection of just some of the pieces on show (below) Can you spot mine? It's just a tiny peek of a bigger piece.  

Over on Etsy I was featured in an amazing 5 lovely treasuries this week including one which was chosen for the front page of Etsy which is pretty dang cool. (can you guess which one got picked?)

 And now I'm off to do some last minute prep work for two crafty birthday parties I'm doing this weekend. I see a very lovely large glass of vino in my future.

Have a great weekend.

Monday morning's Old School

I've been feeling a bit nostalgic recently. I think it's probably something to do with the copious amount of time I spend hooked up to technology in one way or another. It's also probably why I can't pass by a flea market without buying something. More on my flea market finds tomorrow. 

So I put together a little treasury. 

I can't decide which I love more, this Whale Chart from Arminho in Portugal;

or this French Botanical Chart from Bonnie and Bell in Newark, England.

Also on my lust list are this set of keys from an old typewriter. Just think of all the amazing things I could make with them...

You can find them over at etsy shop AMradio with the lovely Melissa in attendance.

Go check out the rest of my Old School crushes here.

That which we call a rose...

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

- William Shakespeare 

Inspired by all the lovely feedback I got on my last treasury I put together another one. 

Check it out over on Etsy here

I can't pick a favourite so I'll let you all decide. But one this is for certain, Spring is definitely in the air.

Just peachy...

peach·y

I love the ruffles on this Darling bolero. To find out more about Darling check out their website

 I'm not sure which I prefer more, the effortless updo, or the elegant peach flower...
