I was checking out the new Suggested Shops feature on Etsy {as I know many f you already have but if  you haven’t it is in your Favourites section} and, while I saw a lot of familiar names, the work of  Angela Vandenbogaard caught my eye. A while ago I downloaded a piece Angela shared [...]

I have long been admiring the work of British designer Jane Foster. Jane bold designs come in prints, totes, cards and cushions and also designs for Clothkits. Not to mention her blog is a treasure trove of colourful vintage finds. I am particularly enamoured with these vintage caravan collages which aren’t in the shop yet.

I have featured Helena’s work before in my  lime light Christmas round-up, when I used her sweet tote bags to wrap handmade gifts for friends. But I thought it was remiss of me not to have highlighted all her other wonderful work. Her shop is full of wonderful illustrations you can buy as prints, notebooks, [...]

According to the calendar, it is supposed to be autumn around these parts.  The 30-degree {that’s celsius for you foreigners} days say otherwise.
However, a girl can dream and this girl is dreaming of days where jeans and scarves is de rigueur. Lisa featured scarves from Uimi on the red thread a couple of weeks ago [...]

There are a lot reasons why I picked tractorgirl for this week’s lime light, even though she is fairly new on my radar.
First off, geographically speaking, she’s practically my neighbour. Well, relatively speaking and as close as I know in blog land at the moment.
Second, I adore her work, her cushions are a particular favourite [...]
