:: Colourful (and funny!) little bookplates, free for you to download by Happy Doodle Land:

:: Fiona has released the pattern for her beautiful Poppy Doll!

:: I would really, really, really, REALLY, love to make dresses like these for my girls for Summer. I love the palette of colours Larissa has chosen!

AND some online shops to help you make your wallet a little lighter :-)

:: Love the rings with vintage findings and yo-yo necklaces by Cookoorikoo:

:: And more sweet jewellry with a certain elegant and understated old-world charm by Two Cheeky Monkeys:

:: Gorgeous, textured flower brooches by Curlypops:

:: Super cute thrifted, vintage finds by Ismoyo:

    Jho, you are too sweet! Really appreciate you including my necklace. You’ve inspired me to try and make the girls some summer dresses (I’ve been promising for a while) with that pic of Larissa’s.
