Doily Love

I created this collection from my admiration of doilies. After a while my admiration turned into obsession and I found myself thinking i should perhaps incorporate these gorgeous doilies into my latest collection. Some people might view them as old-fashioned and boring but these lacey round friends can be quite practical as you can give them a fresh creative spin, even trendy.

I just love the delicate, lace-like look of the doilies gives it a classic appeal and makes a wonderful striking impression. And that is how “Doily Love” Collection was born. After this post I am hoping that you may just start rummaging through the attic or hitting the local markets to find some dollies that you can bring forward into 2010. Show a little doily love xx

Adore Vintage

I've always been told I have an old soul and sometimes think I was born in the wrong century, or at least a couple decades too late. I love all things vintage, particularly the fashion & decor of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. I've always loved history, maybe that's why I like things from other centuries so much more. I have a passion for vintage textiles, crafts and eclectic accessories. Eventually this "passion" turned into obsession and that’s how my latest “adore vintage” collection began. I have a great appreciation for elegant, glamour, chandeliers, silk chairs and vintage couture. Yesterday i went to this shabby chic market at Cronulla, purchased few vintage stands for my cards, i was so excited that when i got home i could not resist but take some pictures and share them with you.
I find vintage images to be so charming & inspiring! Like for example these little illustrations by "The little humbugs" that i found on etsy. Aren't they cute? I just wanted to share them with you today.
But let's be serious here - I don't live in a time-warp. I do love hip hop & rock music, have heard of Justin Bieber, carry an iPhone and am addicted to the internet and all the inspiration and glorious shopping opportunities it brings.
So since vintage inspired cards are such a delight, check out - ‘My little jedi’ – ‘Adore Vintage’ Collection
These cards are only $5 each, so please hurry and place your order ~ send me an email ves_k82@hotmail.com xx
