A little giveaway from Little Mexico

I have another little giveaway for one lucky reader this week. Nicole from Little Wrap Bag who I blogged about in April has recently returned from a fabulous trip to Mexico (so jealous) and has launched a collection of gorgeous silver jewelery called Little Mexico.

Little Mexico is proudly offering an exclusive and uniquely designed range of jewellery directly from renowned artisan, Maria Belen Nilson. Each piece is individually hand-crafted in pure sterling silver and bears her hallmark.

The collection comprises refined bracelets, earrings, pendants and brooches. Their exquisite detail is inspired by pre-columbian design found in the lost civilisations of the Mayan, Olmecs and Aztecs, through to Taxco’s renaissance silversmiths of the 20th century, William Spratling and Hector Aguilar.

Nicole is offering a $50 voucher to be spent on her stall at Piccadilly Market on 31st July. All you need to do is pop over to Little Mexico by Friday 1st July 8pm and tell us your favorite piece. Mine are the little dangly flor baroque earrings.

Good Luck!!!

When I grow up I want to be just like Dottie Angel

I was thrilled that my good friend Amanda shared this clip with me today as she knows I I am a HUGE fan of Dottie Angel and really want to be just like her one day when my kids are older and I can potter and just be. I love to craft and have made some awesome stuff in the past few years but my various businesses seem to be sucking up all my spare time and I just collect favorite images on my Crafting Wish List on Pinterest and know one day it will happen again.



Here is my Dottie Angel blanket I crocheted earlier this year.



and here is my Dottie Angel candle jar jacket i crocheted. So gorgeous at night with the candle light peeping through the holes.



I am DESPERATE to make this hangy thing and the apron and am hoping the school holidays may allow me some time.





and seriously how can you not love someone who has air stream trailers in their back yard. So ridiculously envious.

Hope you enjoy Dottie Angel as much as I do...

Caravan Love at Camberwell Market

Yes another Caravan blog post.

I recently become aware of the fabulous Trish from Trish Hunter Finds who can also be found on facebook. She has got a gorgeous old caravan, done it up and turned into a travelling vintage shop that has a permanent home at Camberwell Market on Sundays.

This past Sunday I decided to go visit Trish and her gorgeous caravan and her lovely dog Betty. Her caravan is filled with all sorts of amazing retro goodies, Master J loved the Peace Glasses and Miss B loved E.T. I adored the winter capes and fancy a pair of flamingo's in my front yard. My childhood was spent at the Camberwell Market both as a shopper and a stall holder many times over. I have vivid memories of my brother and I saving all our money so we could go to the gem stone man and get a lucky dip and we kept our gemstones in old chocolate box trays. One can never go past the hot jam donuts which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. Here are some pictures from our visit. Be sure to pop by if you are in the area and make sure you say Hi to Trish.

Would love to visit again perhaps without 3 children in tow.

The winner of the Design Doctor $50 giveaway was the lucky Marg, please get in contact with me so we can organise your prize.

Have you met the Design Doctor?

There is a wonderful new shop that has opened in Herne Hill and has my friends and I all excited that we can now buy gorgeous, amazing things on our side of town.

Marita's style is very similar to mine in fact some of the products she stocks are from stallholders from Piccadilly. She really has an eye for sourcing the unique and wonderful.

Design Doctor is all about bringing fun, adventurous design to the local community. Marita pays homage to emerging trends without forgetting some of the fantastic influences from the past.

You will most certainly get a smile and great old fashioned service.

I decided to try something new and do a little video of the store so you can see for yourself how wonderful it is. Excuse the crackling half way through, no idea where that came from.

So do you want run down there and grab a little special something?

Marita is offering one lucky reader a $50 voucher for the shop. Yeh!!!!
