on my wish list....

These amazing bowls and plates were handmade by Jill Rosenwald. I came across Jill's work a few weeks ago when she was a Featured Seller on etsy. The colours are what first attracted me and I've been thinking about her work ever since... such beautiful colours, designs and forms.

JUST. ADD. PAPER.

I LOVE it! I came across these calenders by little brown pen on etsy on Thursday and couldn't resist buying one. The concept is great. You are sent a PDF file and are able to print your own. It was fast, affordable and the designs are lovely. As an added bonus they are having a PROMO at the moment where you get a free calender with any purchase! Little Brown Pen also have a range of printable note cards, gift tags and stationery.

Her pieces often elicit a feeling of whimsy and old world charm but are also right at home in the world today.
