Harvey Nicks Raggy Dolls

I've been blogging less and less frequently due to being so busy and remembering posts I meant to do a while back so this one's a little late. I saw these rag dolls in Harvey Nicks last year some time, they are full sized and really lovely, dressed in clothes from the store. It was quite inspirational for me to see these as at the time I was making my own doll for the 'Momiji Couture contest'. I hope to make more dolls in the future hopefully of some of my own characters, until then I leave you with these beauties!

Update: These dolls were created by Cherry Hurren, click to see more of her fabulous work

Vintage Loveliness

One of my self confessed addictions is scouring ebay and etsy for vintage loveliness, so far this month I've bought a vintage trunk, a ceramic vanity set for my dressing table, a 1970s peacock chair and a silver afghan necklace. A girl just can't help it, affordable prices and originality in one....

This morning I came across this adorable blouse, at the moment I really like the idea of looking like a harlequin, and this blouse is perfect! As I scoured down the listing I was praying it would fit but Alas it wasn't to be, too small :-(

I thought I'd post it on here because at such a bargainous price this blouse deserves a good home!

House of Cards

My 2 of hearts card made it to the quilt, maybe you can spot it... Which meant I got to be part of the House of cards exhibition which is at the Haunch of Venison gallery this weekend. I went to the private view at the Haunch of Venison which was fun and the show is really quite impressive, so many good pieces of work.

The exhibition includes 52 of the country's leading artists and designers, including Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn, David Bailey and Vivienne Westwood, have come together to create a unique collection of art inspired by Shelter's House of Cards campaign, which aims to highlight Britain's housing crisis.

Go see it if you can!!
