Barcelona Street Art




One of the best things about Barcelona is it's ever changing street art; from graffiti to stickers, abstract scratches to full on painted masterpieces...they all come together to create the most wonderful street gallery!

My Favourite Dress Of the Moment!






Just a quick post- I just had to share with you this new dress for my Etsy Vintage site. Its a lovely structured well made body con dress upcycled with a piece of wonderful vintage folk embroidery. The colors are stunning. I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself...

Wonderful treasures from Encants...




I was very excited to find this beautiful cushion and throw set at Encants today. It was a bit of a comic struggle getting it all back on my bike (imagine a big bag on each handle and another between my legs...good exercise though, cycling bow-legged!) andwell worth it. How amazingly beautiful are they? All hand embroidered by an amazingly talented mystery person...definitely a worthy heirloom. There are 9 cushions and 2 large throws on all. Only the other day I was saying how I wanted my sofa to be a haven of shabby boho chic with hundreds of cushions (I'm intending on making my own from some of the gorgeous vinatge fabric I've collected). So this is a great start!
