Loves, Lusts and Inspirations #1

Hi everyone!

Just because,  here are a few pics  (stolen from Google) that im either lusting after, find inspiring, or just think is simply beautiful! There is a really random mix of pictures (and not many words!)
But I hope this gives you more of an insight of what makes me swoon!



                                                   How stunning is this sewing box?



                                                         I adore herbs and spices



                                         Ahoy Sailor! This is my signiture style come summer! <3


                                                                      Complete LUST!!!

                    These are stunning, beautiful packaging, shades, scent  - whats not to love?



                                  Ah, Rainbow Brite, a girl hero straight out of my childhood :)



                                                          Peonies make me smile :)



                                                                      An Icon

  1. Hello :)

    I’m glad you liked my upholstery, I’m a little smitten with home made projects at the moment, I blame a certain Miss Allsopp. That chair was one of my favourites to do, simply because I paid so little, if all went wrong I wasn’t going to loose out. So I just literally got on with it and the results paid off!

    I think we have a similar taste in such things…eBay, patchwork quilts, Kirstie’s homemade home, charity shops, Tiffany, I could go on forever!

    And my lovely boyfriend is called Simon too, haha! We could be twins!
    The wreath is stunning, I know Kirstie is one for making wreaths, but I am so inspired that you found all the pinecones outside, so thrifty.

    Welcome to the blogging world. I am forever inspired by fellow crafty bloggers, and love nothing more than meeting fellow minded people x

  2. What a lovely comment! Thanks for being my first follower Alice :)

    Your fantastic Blog was one of the first I found, and it got my fingers itchy for crafting, so you are part responsible for the creations and inspirations behind this blog!

    I know what you mean about our similar tastes, my last post would have gone on and on and on, I had to force myself to stop adding pictures!

    Thanks for the lovely comment Alice, I hope you have an amazing christmas :) xx

  3. Hello! I really like your blog, I'd love to know how you get on if you do start burlesque lessons! Where oh where is that sewing box from? I love it, and Santa's bringing me a sewing machine for Christmas so it could be the perfect accompaniment!

  4. Oh thank you :) Its great to hear from like-minded people!
    The sewing box/table is stunning isnt it? It was on Ebay a few weeks ago, unfortunately collection only and too far away in Bristol, but i bought a similar one in plain brown oak from Ebay, and im going to customise my own, so watch this space! Maybe you could do one too then we can swap pics!
    I think the burlesque classes start in March, and i will definately be posting pictures on here, and let you know how i get on :)
    What are you planning on making with your sewing machine?

  5. Oh there's some lovely ones on ebay! We've got no room in our flat any more though so a sewing shoe box will have to do for now! Although I'm hoping to customise a wooden thing that I bought at the weekend (have a look at my blog, I have absolutely no idea what it is!!) so maybe I could use that...

    I've been buying a lot of lovely floral dresses from charity shops recently, and wearing them tucked up to make short (over leggings) so I will shorten all those properly. And I have a few bits of fabric that I want to make into dresses...but have no idea how...yet!

  6. I LOVE charity shops, I buy a good 70% of my clothes/random/furniture/books in them! (the other 30% probably come from Ebay!)

    Im still figuring out my sewing machine too, but i hope to (eventually) transform a few clothes that dont-fit-but-are-too-cute-to throw-out too :)

    btw, the furniture you mention is a great buy, it definately has sewing box potential :)

  7. Haha, I'm probably 50% charity shop, 20% ebay, and 30% Dorothy Perkins' never-ending online sale!

    Argh, I can't believe I'm getting my sewing machine this week, we'll have to compare efforts if you do figure yours out!
