Clever Girl






I recently came across a little shop, Vogue by Vague. Their charming photos are enough to make my storybook heart go pitter-pat. This clever girl uses everything from assorted vintage fabric to unspoiled tablecloths in creating her wears. I get a kick out of the idea that this lovely rose frock could have once shared table space with mini gherkins in my Grandmother's dining room. Have a great weekend everyone!

Exquisitely detailed fonts and graphic work from yesteryear.

Smile Pretty





Classic vintage cameras were are built with such style they are worth taking a second look at. In working condition or not, I wouldn't mind these sitting on my shelf. Smile!

Monday Love



A little something to brighten your day. The Infamous and Dapper Hugo-Beast. If you would like to learn more about this dashing fellow stop by here.

Cozy









Working with your hands on a regular bases can be rather joyful... except when you need to cut and fold a couple hundred handmade cards on a cold winter morning and the heater has decided not to work despite many pleas. That is where these lovelys come in. I have grown very fond of fingerless gloves and it seems there are ever more talented people making them these days. So many colors and styles are available. I happen to be the proud owner of the aqua blue pair shown above. They were made by uloni and even arrived in custom made wrapping paper that was personalized just for my order.
Talk about attention to detail! For a link to items shown please click on the images. Have a great week everyone!

Welcome


Could you imagine coming home to this everyday?

The stuff dreams are made of...









If you have flipped through the pages of Vanity Fair or Vogue recently you have probably already gasped in amazement at the photography of Tim Walker. The London based artist has a knack for creating elaborate scenes that feel oddly familiar, almost as if they came out of your best dreams or remembrances of old fairy tales. His work is detailed in a away that captures elegance and absurdity in the most delightful manner. If you have the time stop by his site to see more.
