September
While standing upon the ladder today, paint brush in hand, I stayed focused on my task by day dreaming about other lovely things that I might like to furnish my bedroom with. Well, they are less about the room and more about me, but I’m sure they’ll look beautiful living in there.
Fleur De Lis soap by LoreLuna
So much better than a pump pack and highly impressive on its decorative quotient. Even better it is only $4 plus shipping!
Felted Collar by Rudman
I know we are coming into spring here but there is still a chill in the air. My mother kindly knitted me the most divine cashmere collar just like this in teal, which I sadly promptly lost. I have quite a soft spot for these, and they make your neck look extra long and elegant.

Tattoo Man brooch by Mamas Little Babies
As a fan of carnivale, tattoos, lowbrow and the bizarre; this brooch fits the bill just perfectly for me. It reminds me of the illustrations in the old Coles Funny Picture Books. (Does anyone else remember these treasures?)

Personalised baking tags by Farouche
I love these colourful Victorian decorations, and what better way to present your own home made delicacies to friends? Farouche has the most brilliant range of tags, labels and cards. I’ll be stocking up big time before the holiday season is upon us.

Skull Tricorn by Noxenlux Chapeaux
Can you tell it was Pirate Day yesterday? I still have pirates on the brain, but then that happens quite often here. I’m in love with this feathered tricorn hat, and would have a lot of fun creating occassions to wear it.

8 & A Half Dress by Desira Pesta
How yummy is this dress? Cocoa coloured with peppermint stripes, ruffles and bows.

Bow Belt by Desira Pesta
You can see the there is a similarly designed belt on the Cocoa dress above, but this shot shows it even better. What a perfect addition to a summer dress. I’m imagining it with something white and flouncy in eyelet lace. Very French farm girl.
I just canm’t believe that first picture is soap! Amazing
Oooh! I love all your finds–especially that belt at the bottom (darn! someone snatched it up already! rofl!)!!
That soap is pretty swanky too… I have a huge, and just forming, weakness for nice soaps. lol.
hey casey! I am relisting the belt, I can make an unlimited number! –Desira
Those are all so cute. i want everything .<3

good finds Kawaii! i love the Desire Pesta dresses, I can imagine myself going on picnics in them. I also love the man broche! x
That collar is crazy cool.
Thank you so much for showing that collar! It is gorgeous and I know exactly who I’m going to buy it for.
Indie Queen: Isn’t it exquisite. I’m about to paint my bathroom cabinets black so i think I’ll have to have some of these.
Casey: I thought of you the moment I saw that belt. The colour and silhouette had your name written all over it.
Naddy Sane: Me too.
sos!: Oh great idea. I just got my first proper picnic basket, so a dress should be next on the list. I’m in love with that man too.
Wendy B: Cool that keeps you warm – the best kind.
floraposte: Excellent! I love being able to help people find the gorgeous and the attainable.
Oh my gosh! Coles Funny Picture books…I had forgotten about them! I had my grandmothers, they were amazing and as a child I adored them…they were very well loved and worn. I wish I still had them
And I do love those collars, very elegant and romantic.
Hope the painting is going well xxx
You’re a terrible influence!! I just bought the tattooed man brooch. I think I’m going to wear it in front of the panel at my final undergrad painting assessment
i want that brooch!
that brooch is amazing! and i LOVE desira pesta. so lovely.
I thought the soap was choocolate =(
It sure does look like chocolate!!!
That felted collar is brilliant, it’s almost fall here, I’d love something like that!
I had the Coles Funny picture book; and while I loved it as you could read it all day, it scared me a bit too. I wonder where it went? Ahhh that’s right; tipped in the purge to make my old bedroom into “the spare room”, while I was on the otherside of the world.
That is a very scary little tatooed man.

Porcelain blonde: I’ve pinched my Aunts copies and I just love them. And yes, the painting is progressing well. Hopefully I can post some pictures later this week.
Pony: Oh excellent! That is sure to make a fabulous impression.
Danielle and Kristie: Sounds like we are going to have to put in a mass order for this one.
(r)evolver 74: mmmm.. imagine a tray of chocolates that looked like that!
Hammie: Oh no! They are so highly sought after and such a wonderful piece of history. Do you remember the fabulous whipping machine for naughty boys? That was always my favorite. (Sadistic little girl).
A beautiful assembly of pretty things….
absolutely wonderful dress! You have a nice blog, a lot of things which I like it!
i loooove the tattoo man brooch!
8 and a half dress is beautiful!
Personalised baking cards?!?!?!I need those!
Genius, and the soap is very swanky indeed.
