Striking Treasury on Etsy

Every now and again after searching far and wide on etsy I am blown away by some of the unusual creations by the gifted designers on etsy and today was one of those days.

LOL at the sight of those black silhouette cameos and I just adore the Wicked Witch legs trapped between the book pages. You just never know what you'll find out there.

This weekend we're off to the International Boat Show in Sydney's Darling Harbour to see some of the best boats in the business. To celebrate I'm offering all my Bus Roll International Code Flags at bargain prices til the end of the weekend 31st July 2011.

So if you're in Sydney head over to Darling Harbour this weekend.

Metallics and Marigolds

Having been usinging Polyvore this weekend to scramble together some couture, I wanted to take this tool with me on my journey around the world of decorating and design shops where I could place room arrangements and colour coordinate bedrooms and lounge rooms with my slant on coast and nautical influences. Here's my first foray along the shoreline.

The Daily Buzz

On 14th July, my birthday and Bastille Day, what a great day!! I was delighted to find an article in the Daily Buzz called Alphabet Soup featuring my Childrens Alphabets. A. Earl's alphabet you can personalize and K the Vintage alphabet poster are to be found at made it and also my own online store empressionista

And today I wanted to thank Simone for this inclusion only to find that another of my prints was up in the Daily Buzz here:

My bus roll style number pennants are also in my bexpert etsy shop if you'd like to view the collection. I just love the nautical search lamps from Matt Blatt.

I've just discovered Polyvore where you can be your own magazine editor and grab fab clothes off the racks of many design houses, place them in your collective sets and keep them in a stylish montage. I just adore this and have been busy this weekend surfing the salubrious design houses across the globe just getting my style perfected. It's all on the wishlist.
