Feeling very lucky

I received a lovely little parcel in the mail today from Kelly at Reclaiming Me. You might remember, Kelly made the fabulous little green dress for Holly. Kelly was celebrating 100 blog posts and I was lucky enough to win a spot prize and what a spot prize it is!

This amazing little wrap dress for Isla. Made with  beautiful pink floral fabric on one side and green paisley on the other.

A crayon wrap for Holly. Made from the most divine fabric with butterflies on it. Holly has spent the afternoon pulling out the crayons and putting them back in again.

Even the packaging and card are exquisite. The little bag that the crayon roll came in is made from the page of a children's story book.

Thank you Kelly, they are beautiful gifts. As with all of Kelly's handmade goods, they are immaculately stitched and finished. If you like what Kelly makes, check out her felt shop for more of her homemade goodness.

A lovely little hair clip

I am feeling like a very lucky girl. I won this lovely hair clip made by Bedros Designs on Danimezza's blog . It is such a sweet little clip, don't you think? If you like it you can check out her other designs at her etsy shop.

Do you have this problem too?

I pull out the camera and.....

A certain little person spots it and....

she rushes over.

 

Miss Holly loves having her photo taken.

Maybe she will grow up to be a model or a TV presenter!

(although her Daddy wants her to be a builder or a plumber!)

And one of the little one.... because we could never forget her, she is too darn cute!

Happy Mothers day.

My Creative Space

In my creative space today is 2 little denim skirts for my 2 little girls.

They are a basic A-line shaped with an elasticated waistband. I have hand embroidered detail onto the front of each. 

A Bit Of Vintage Lovely

I bought this lovely little dress off coolcrib, isn't it amazing? I fell in love with the beautiful vintage fabric. I wish I could be lucky enough to find amazing vintage fabrics like this when I go thrifting, but alas I never do.... maybe one day (well I can live in hope!)

But the best thing about this dress.....

It is completely reversible! And as the Mumma of any 2 year old would know, that comes in very handy for hiding things like ice cream stains when you are out.

From here to eternity

It has taken 8 years of marriage and 2 babies but my husband has finally bought me an eternity ring. It is not completely his fault. My engagement ring is vintage, so truth be told, it has been difficult to find anything that looks good beside it.  Anyway, last week we were in town with the girls when on a whim, I dragged the family into my favorite antique jewelers,  Young's. If you are a fan of beautiful old jewelry, you will love this place, it is full of the divine and the beautiful. It was here that I came upon this lovely gold and platinum ring and well, lets just say it was love at first sight. 

World sweet world

I won a copy of this lovely little mag over a bobbyrobin's blog. It is a lovely little crafty read full of inspiring articles and ideas. Sadly, this is the last issue. if you can get your hands on a copy it is well worth the read. If not, check out their blog for a bit of crafty inspiration.
