For The Home

Here's my 'For the Home' Etsy finds for today! Some gorgeous vintage pieces with some really unique accessories! I love them all, especially the shabby mirror from royaloakcottage which dates from 1924...a really historic piece that would look amazing in any home! And check out the unusual fabric plants from janejoss - a beautiful and unique take on the common house plant, and one that you don't have to water!

Featured Seller: Pretty By Pistachio

I'm hoping to make regular blog entries and I've found some lovely sellers, so I thought I'd create a 'Featured Seller' feature. This week, my twitter-friend Lousie of Pretty By Pistachio.

Louise sells her cute floral and button jewellery both on her own personal shop and via Etsy also. I recently purchased what is now her top selling item, her Floral Fabric Button Earrings, which I love! They're so well made, adorable and a bargain at £4.50. I highly recommend them!

Other products include bright and cheery floral pieces from her 'Say it With a Flower' collection and fabric button jewellery (my personal favourite) from the 'Cute as a Button' collection. All are handmade by Louise and are gorgeous!

Check out Pretty by Pistachio on Etsy or the Pretty by Pistachio Shop.

Louise also has something special planned called 'Simply Forgotten' and I can't wait to see what that is all about. I'm sure it'll be as gorgeous as Pretty by Pistachio!

Ocean Treasury

I always find it so hard to narrow down my favourites for a Treasury...there were so many items I wanted to put in this Ocean/Beach colour collection. You can see my alternate choices below also.
