Lovely local jewels

Anna from Quail design has just brought in some more of her beautiful skeleton leaf necklaces:)

They all have very special vintage blossom beads hanging either with the leaf or at the clasp as an extra treat.

We loved them so much we featured them in our summer '10/11 collection look-book, so pretty, we know you'll like them too.

Viva les macarons xx

Something in the universe was speaking to me last week and when in Christchurch, after visiting lovely Tipi at Where The Fox Lives, all the stars had aligned and I found myself outside a wee shop/ slice of heaven called J'aime les macarons

A romance was begun and if flavours suchas rose, bitter chocolate, sour cherry & champagne, salt butter and caramel, among a host of others, make your tastebuds water then you've come to the right place. They also fly mixed boxes up to Moore Wilsons, Wellington on Fridays & Saturdays (saviour!!)

This is a secret desire once you try you just have to share with those you love so treat yourself this weekend-go on:)

Fabric sale at emma

Love fabric, but you missed 'Fabricabrac' recently,fret not! emma has joined forces again with pal Deborah Sweeney and have an awesome mix of fabrics for sale at emma. Extended until this Saturday 17th July (due to popular demand). There are some great value pieces for crafters, sewers and textile lovers alike:)

You can always check out my winter range too!

Gotta love Fabricabrac

Thanks to my trusty helpers, Phoebe and Bella, emma enjoyed another great Fabricabrac.

Although I could only be there to set up I felt our collection of fabric gems was in good hands and with the occasional mandatory cupcake break some great bargains were had and much inspiration shared.

There are so many treasures you have to watch you don't leave with more than you arrive with but I was immediately seduced by this delectable swan/water lily doilly at the table opposite. I don't know yet what I'll eventually make with it but for now it's being ever so pretty helping display brooches on my cabinet at emma.
