Spotted! Just the most amazing little Kokeshi thing…
*sigh* That, ladies and gentlemen, is a Kokeshi Doll. Considered in their native Japan to be gifts of love and affection. First made about 150 years ago as a toy for children of farmers, Kokeshi are made by skilled craftsmen, and each is named. This little one’s name? Oh, did I not say? She’s called “Happiness”. *beam* Available for less than £15 of your pounds from my swish new find Sorella. I’d really...
Spotted! Just a beautiful bracelet from @seasparkle_x
I was just randomly hopping about t’interwebs, like you do, and look what i saw. My heart actually did a little skippety-flip. Leather cord with sea glass charms and a fine silver sea shell. I want it. Really badly a lot. Made by, and available from, the wonderful SeaSparkle for a mere thirty of your pounds.
Spotted! Cornishware mugs – in COLOURS!!!
Now, as any and every reader knows – we are sincere and devout adorers of traditional blue cornishware mugs (well – jugs, bowls, plates… anything cornish and blue-stripy, really).

Spotted! A Daisy Keyring. From Tiffany. *happy*
Want. Want want want want WANT. That’s all really. (yes, I know, it’s over £200 for a KEYRING. But anyone who knows me knows I have a bit of a thing for the humble daisy. And… it’s from Tiffany. It comes in that turquoise packaging. *swoon*) sadly no longer available…but other fab Keyrings from Tiffany’s here
Spotted! Gorgeous Floral Michal Negrin Necklace
I love Michal Negrin jewellery (have you SEEN his website? here – http://www.michalnegrin.com/. Quirky, vintage-inspired floral gloriousness), and I was instantly in love when I saw this on Not On The High Street in Violettes shop. So pretty, so dainty, so LOVELY. Violette has some Michal Negrin items for under £25, too – go and see…
Spotted! ‘Flower Nail’ Notepad
Oooh, pretty, yes? Natural oak base, and the paper is held in place with that lovely ‘Flower Nail’ – just remove it to add more paper. That bargainous price even includes a refill pad (but not the pencil- you’ll just have to sharpen your own). SO much prettier than the yellow post it pad I have loitering in my kitchen… Now £13.50 from Dee Puddy, my new lovely light, airy and calming place to spend ten...
