How cool would this be?

linotype

I think this film would be fascinating. What an amazing machine the linotype was!

monochrome

I'm about to repaint the red feature wall in my lounge room. Monochromatic colour schemes are 'speaking' to me at the moment and I'm thinking of going back to white or at least something in a pale tone. But with my granny-chic thrifted furnishings I'd never get this result...but them I don't think I could live in such a colour sterile environment. Still, these images are nice to look at.

I love this little video...IIona is simply amazing.



Thanks to Dawn Tan for posting this video.

PS. Mum, this is how I want you to dress from now on...including the eye lashes!

Wallpaper

I'm quiet partial to wall paper. Especially retro inspired ones. Today I can across the work of Jocelyn Warner. I like her designs, but I have to admit, I'm more drawn to the styling of these photographs than the actual wall papers. What do you think? 

Just peachy

Today's post is brought to you by the colour peach.

wardrobe wonderment

Whether you're into fashion/clothes or not, this video is worth watching. This woman's wardrobe is amazing- both the space and the clothes!

Vanity

What a great idea...a bathroom vanity made from an old suitcase. The DIY instructions can be found here. If you make one, let me know...I'd love to see it.

Feather cookies? Yes, please.

Camping

I'm going camping. Sadly, not in a beautiful tepee like these, but in a regular old tent. I haven't scheduled any posts, so it will be quite here for the next few days (I've also put my Etsy store in vacation mode). See you soon!

Drawn

While I was browsing at the tip shop last week I stumbled across these sweet old drawers lined with vintage wall papers. I was super restrained and didn't buy them, but I made sure that I grabbed some photos to share with you.

Bling Bling

New from i wish i had a little shop- bronze age. It should probably be called gold age, but just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? Anyway, I love these new colour combinations. And the gold chain? I love that too. I always considered myself a silver kind of gal, but I guess my tastes have shifted. I can totally see myself wearing one of these. In fact, I think I'll wear one today. 

I forgot...

I also scored this amazing yellow vase at the tip shop today...

Clutter?

I don't make New Year's resolutions as such, but I do try to take stock every now again and make changes to my life or the way I'm living as needed. Last month I decided that 2012 would be about simplifying life...less mental and physical clutter. So yesterday I dropped off some things to the Salvos and today I did a trip to the tip shop with what the Salvos wouldn't accept (mainly one very heavy, very old TV set). And I knew it would happen...I left both the Salvos and the tip shop with stuff...more clutter! At least the exchange ratio wasn't too bad- 3 garbage bags of clothes exchanged for 1 cardigan, 1 t-shirt and 1 jacket and an old TV for these cute vintage salt & pepper shakers and table cloth. At least they'll take up less room than the TV!

New

New colours for i wish i had a little shop necklaces. Shop update coming soon.
