Take a look at this delectable packaging. Delicious! Lovely Package is all about packaging design. I know I am guilty of buying things because of the box they come in rather than what is actually inside.
Shop at Maison B was a destination...a secret, magical place that contained my dreams in Greek Street, Soho. Hidden away unless you looked more closely. Armed with my navigator...Daniel and a map...we set off. Roaming around Soho...an interesting journey it was. Maison Bertaux is an old style bakery were service is slow, but good and treats are sugary and bliss filled. Down some narrow stairs is where Madame had her treasure trove...Shop at Maison B.
I spotted Madame a couple of times in her perfectly applied red lipstick and pristine vintage. What I loved most was Madame’s little films of her buying trips...quirky music teamed with old world glamour.
The shop is no longer, but Madame continues on her blog...

I found these vintage buttons this weekend whilst hunting around town. It is going to be so difficult to part with these beauties, but I promise to share them. A Smartie box of creations awaits. I have such a passion for buttons and am totally in love with these - they remind me of a luxury box of chocolates...waiting to be unwrapped...in this case they are waiting to be made into something special.
One of the best shoe designers coupled with beautiful macaroons...as if Laduree needed any help. Winning recipe deluxe! Can't afford the shoes then opt for a roon! Design has hit stratospheric heights.
Hotcakes Design Jewelry is inspired by classic Bakelite jewelry. All the way from San Francisco it is now available at Fat Tuesday in Kloof. Best you get there quick before I snap it all up!

More birds...one post just wasn't enough. Edward Lear's drawing are an artistic wonder.
It is a common know fact that I adore and love birds - both real and ornamental. From their feathers to their mannerisms - they are cute in every way. To fuel my compulsive love - I peeped at all the beautiful bird inspired goods on Etsy. Winged heaven!
The ribbon
Lots of little scissors
Needle Cards
Bits & bobs for decoration
I had the wonderful opportunity of making sewing jars for the Mr Price / Elle New Talent Awards. The goodie bags are filled with fabulous things...earrings, stationery, a brooch from Luckyou Handmade plus the Cupcake Couture sewing jar. Inside the jar...mini scissors, colourful thread, a needle card and safety pins. All a fashionista will need to survive! I am even more happy knowing that one of my little jars is on its way to Jackie Burger the Elle Editor and Chris Viljoen the Elle Fashion Director! Fab!
