This week two of my dearest and best friends are both away on lovely overseas holidays. They are both in my thoughts as I wonder what adventures they are having.
Here at home...I will be working on a couple of projects I have on the go as well as hunting for...yes you guessed it...more buttons!
Far away inspiration found via the Etsy site's of Rebecca Plotnick's and Lucile's Kitchen.
What are your plans?
Happy weekend!
I know...she is just adorable!
I was mostly conned into buying this dolly because of the kitsch tin that she came in, but on discovering all that was inside - I was very happy with my purchase.
Dumpling Dynasty use kitsch, Chinese packaging as the inspiration behind their products. Take a look at their site for more bright and happy designs!
Can you believe the weekend is over and the new week is upon us! GOSH!
I had a very productive weekend. One of the things that I did was sort some of the buttons that I have received from my Button Hunt. The buttons that I can't use are off to the SPCA. I have also managed to collect some other useful bits and bobs along the way in the form of binding and bobbins. I have also added some vintage buttons to my button scoop which will be available at I heart Market on the 5th of February.
I have managed to fill quite a lot of jars to cart off to the SPCA and looking forward to filling even more!
You can still join the button hunt - just click here to find out how!
Thank you so much to those of you have already contributed! Keep the buttons coming!
Happy week!
In a perfect world - we would drive around surrounded by sewing machines and the weekend would be five days long and the work 'week' only two days long!

Happy weekend!
This weekend I will be working on some rosette orders, researching some ideas, taking a nap and enjoying my home! How about you?
1.\ Very excited to take part in the February I heart Market!
2.\ Thank you for this very sweet and kind mention from a very lovely lady!
3.\ Make someone feel special this week - notice if they look pretty or have done something well. You could really make their day. Use the pictured poster as some inspiration (from Kind Over Matter).
4.\ I love sending and receiving post. Send a letter, write a note or wrap a little package for a friend.
5.\ Do something kind for yourself...go to bed early, paint your nails or take some time out...have a cup of tea in a quite place and be happy!

It was my friend Casey's birthday recently and of course that meant I had to think of a pretty and interesting gift for the girl who bought Frankie magazine to our little town of Durban!
She is clever, creative and did I mention she is also a doctor...there is a lot of 'amazingness' going on there! Flattery aside - I thought that this bicycle bunting that I sewed and made some fun packaging for was just right to add to a couple of other gifts for Casey.
Bicycle bunting can be strung along your bicycle basket and soon you will be pedalling pretty with the bunting flapping in the breeze.
*If you still haven't made it on one of Sibling Mine's (Casey) bike outs then make sure you email her to find out when the next ride is! Heavenly fun!

And to add to your bicyclette days...A very happy song by the Plastiscines. *Take a listen.
Just because our wedding is over doesn't mean I am not inspired by unique weddings.
I came across Emma Case Photography via Twitter - a friend of the Emma Case thought the snaps of my talented friend Lauren (of our wedding) looked similar to that on the photographer's blog and so I delved into another wonderful wedding world. Enjoy these delightful snippets of joy captured at its best!

Thank you for the kind and lovely comments this week. I hope you have enjoyed the sale. There are only a couple of pieces left.
Daniel...my husband (getting used to saying that) has been busy at work making sure all the pieces in our home look their best. A new addition to the family recently joined our retro furniture collection, in the form of a very interesting chest of drawers.
Look out for more retro items, useful storage pieces and colourful combos from the Woodnewz team in 2011.
