wishlist: tigers!

I'm currently on sunny vacation, but magically this post will appear without my assistance. This week I wish for two things, to ring in the Year of the Tiger!

Tiger Mo Art Print by littlemoandfriends
Obviously I love Helena's gorgeous work, as a flick through my blog will reveal- I just think her newest print series is gorgeous! I love Tiger Mo! I like her knees. So cute.

Tiny Tiger Baby by voiletpi
Is this not the cutest thing in the world? What more can I say? Go check out the needle felted bee in voiletpi's shop too. Cuuuute!

wishlist: brooklyn

Two of my very good friends (hi Debbie! hi Helen!) have moved to Brooklyn - I wish I could go visit, and do a little shopping while I'm at it. Today my wishlist is all from Brooklyn!

Small Plush -Hello Yellow- Heart Necklace by jackiepeppermint

I recently saw Jaqueline Kari Bos's work featured on decor8 and loved it. Her illustrations are so colourful, simple & sweet, and she also makes gorgeous cushions and these little heart necklaces. Like many of the items I love, I think it's her photography that makes them look so appealing - can't you just imagine wearing all 4 at once? I can.

Let the Sun Shine In Earrings by locallibrary

I love these earrings. I'm a big fan of round earrings, for some reason a while back I decided round earrings were the best sort of earrings around. I love the organic feel of the wood, contrasted with the brass, they remind me of sort of a peep-hole or key-hole, like you could look through them into Narnia.

Chartreuse Scoop Neck Tank - Peace.Lilly by sealmaiden

Things to love about this tank - relaxed fit, 100% cotton, hand printed with a gorgeous print, lovely unusual colour, great price.
Things not to love - don't think there are any.


Now, who wants to buy me a plane ticket to Brooklyn?

wishlist: teal

I've had a little obsession with teal, turquoise & duck egg blue lately. I think it began when I made curtains for my studio - I made them out of simple cotton, so every afternoon when the sun beats through my window, I close the curtains and am bathed in teal-coloured light. And it's lovely. This week I wish for:

Wake up Charlie. Let's go to Candy Mountain.
Unicorn no.44 blue with dark teal details by penguinandfish

These are gorgeous. What else do I need to say, really? If you click on the link and look at the other photos in penguindandfish's shop, you will see that even the legs of the unicorn are amazing. I think he could be my sewing machine friend.


Fox in the Snow art print by eekdesign
This picture is so beautiful. The text is a Slovak proverb, to me the painting reminds me of a sweet collision of several different fairy-tales all at once. I can see representations of many of my favourite stories, and the colours and actual illustration are so lovely.

The spirograph turns mandala bowl by Ninainvorm

I've loved Nina's designs for awhile now! They're so bright, fun & still so very beautiful. She has gorgeous photography, looking through her store and blog is looking at a design website or magazine. Beautiful.


So, there is my teal wishlist. Now, to find a wealthy person to buy them for me!

wishlist: melbourne

I have not created a Wednesday Wishlist for awhile now! From now on each Wednesday I think I will choose a theme or a location to wish from. First (of course) is Melbourne. Enjoy these pretty items from Melbourne, and be sure to visit their stores!

Minature Vintage Gold Bunting by madeleinesargent

I can't decide which is best - the actual bunting or the beautiful photography! Either way, I can see this bunting keeping my cookbooks nice & cosy, or over my studio door. Gorgeous!

bearded bloke brooch - embroidered mans face with knitted beard by handmaderomance

These are so funny, no? All completely hand knitted and embroidered - I love the teensy little mouth-hole in the knitting. Very old man of the sea. I wonder if I can get these with a grey beard?


Florentyna Headband - pink by hummingbirdroad

I have a very exciting wedding coming up at the beach (no, not mine) and I've been looking for pretty but not too formal things. I think I've figured out the dress, but there are so many other things! Shoes, jewellery, purse, hair... these hair bands are so gorgeous & sweet, maybe one of them will help my beachy hair dilemma!


Happy Wednesday!
