Moths




How amazing are these vintage souvenirs from Rhodes. Found them on a car boot in Otley. Both with little hanging chains.

I like to hold them really close to my face and stare at the detail. They are a bit freaky I suppose, but that is so my bag aha.

Laura Ashley forever

Laura ashley forever wonderful with their floral prints galore. This vintage find is a lovely high waisted skirt hovering perfectly just above the ankle.





Check out those hues...

My shop






I have an etsy.

I have opened for business.
Handmade, craft and vintage as I'm a bit of a magpie/hoarder. Currently getting updated daily.

The cards combine recycled materials and my own illustration.

I am currently screen print mad and there's lots of that going on -really individual work.
Love it.
