Have a lovely weekend :)

Oh, oh...

Hmmm....have been browsing around Papastour..a Scottish design website that I am particularly fond of and one which I haven't peeped at in some time. Ooh and aah.. ...have selected some of my favourites to share with you...I would totally LOVE all of these items...all handmade...aren't they gorgeous?? Go check it out - you never know what you might find!!


Resin earrings...loving the colours and their quirkiness..like the one long earring and one stud "mis-match" lots!!


Resin brooch..oh so pretty!


Resin bangle...nice!


Beautiful little glazed and unglazed bowls in lovely pink and blue...sigh..


Gorgeous wool bag..again, sigh!


And finally, this yummy colourful scarf...

You can see all the designers and their profiles on the website - definitely worth a looksie! Enjoy your day - it's a very misty, gloomy day in Dublin but it's Sunday, so all's well with the world :)

In the Frame...

I had no idea how expensive framing could be!! After some serious deliberation, I recently decided to go ahead and purchase a print I had on my wishlist for a very long time...it's a piece by Sanna Annuka entitled "Maidens of the Midnight Sun"...I love it and think it was worth every penny! I was in for a bit of a shock when I went to organise framing for it tho...OUCH is all I can say..to my horror, the frame worked out more expensive than the print but it had to be done and I am thrilled with it..

Here is a not so great photo of it up on my wall....



You can get a better view up close here. She is so talented, right? This post came about because I was browsing around the Marimekko site last night and I spotted some very familiar looking prints on fabric etc..and yes...it's Sanna...she has really done well...I love seeing talented artists and designers "making it" - it can be so difficult..check out her product line here

Hope you like her as much as I do!
