A fab bunch today : )

Domestic Candy

I was first introduced to the work of Kerstin from Domestic Candy over at Decor8 way back in March. I noted it in my catalogue right then and there, but it isn't until now that I get a chance to share it with you.

So just in case you haven't had a chance to see Kerstin's work before, it is a very sweet collection of jewellery, buttons and wall decorations, each one created in the gorgeous European style that I love!

Here's a peek

Doll House Love
By Petit Flâneur

I mentioned Petit Flâneur in Alphabet4 in a post about Blocks. I thought I'd slip in another stunner I found in their store - 'Contemporary Printed Doll Houses' with gorgeous interior spaces - Look!!

The description for their Doll Houses reads:

"Not only for children, these houses are for anyone who enjoys things in miniature form (like me!!) Modern furniture and detailed wallpaper bring these houses up-to-date.Hand-printed, assembled dollhouses include assembled furniture, made of birch micro-plywood. Houses made of plywood. All inks are water-based and non-toxic.There is a choice in color of the top interior room: natural wood, dark orange, and fuchsia."

It sounds just as good as it looks!! check them out....

As you may know, I really adore hand stitching. It was Bridget's eye for detail and craftsmanship that really drew me into her store. And believe it or not, Bridget's talents don't stop here, check out the notes below to view her beautiful paintings and prints!

Blue Thimble

I am loving this work by Allison Rose of Blue Thimble. As a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Allison's work involves layers of meticulous hand silk-screened textiles - sometimes up to 50 layers. It is obvious that Allison isn't afraid of colour, and in fact embraces it whole-heartily! "I could not choose which color is my favorite- that would be discriminating to me" - love it!

Take a peek:
