Market Day...

   I've been rubbish! sorry. The past few weeks which included my bitter Valentines day rant sucked me into a bit of a hole. But today the sun is shinning! and I hauled my ass outta bed before midday and tootled off on my bike (fixed at last) along the river.


   A brilliantly bustly and busy morning atmosphere, not been after much in particular but my magpie intuition still managed to collect three necklaces, a pretty silk scarf and some beautiful fabric.

Orange fabric & Blue pendant necklace £1

Green & white, Glass beaded necklace & Silk polka dot scarf £2

Chair (market about 2 years ago) £5

I think I'm gonna try make the fabric into a cushion cover. I'll do a how to post if I do. Ok Bye.

 

Triumphant triangles...

   Tantalizing triplets shape this month. Put you're protractor away and look at these with a new angle.  Gorgeous geometric patterns have already been strongly featured in some recent past posts, so to get this kaleidoscopic obsession from my mind here's a grand selection of some great triangles in Art & Design.

Market Day...

    Well, I may have slept in this morning, at a friends, the other side of town, meaning I didn't quite make it to the market per se BUT I did pop in to buy flowers on my trudge home through today's sleet. Ranuculus to be exact, my absolute #1 choice of flora. However, pictured, are a few pieces I picked up about a month ago.

   The lace top was a brand new Topshop, with tags intact. One I had actually nearly bought brand new a few weeks previously. And only a few stalls down I picked up the glass beaded necklace, I think they work a treat together. Grey, pale greens and creams spiked by the luminous orange. LUSH.
   Lastly the plate, which I adore. One day I will bake a great big fat cream cake and plomp it on this.

Top -  £5

Necklace - £6

Plate - £1

Ranunkulus - £6 for tray of 10 

Oarah Gah Mee...

   Claire & Arnuad are the dynamic duo behind Origami Jewellery. The seemingly simple Japanese folding practice has influenced this pair in creating beautiful miniature charms.

Jewellery Jealousies...

   Oh my! Kirsty Kirkpatrick I like your style, amazing handmade, recycled body adornments. From chunky necklaces and bracelets to art deco earrings and Aztec cuff links Uncommonly Beautiful Recycled Accessories is a real gem.
   I'm a particularly fond of the recycled wooden necklaces oh what I would give! for now I'll just admire their higgledy piggledy chain linked 80's disco tech eccentricity from afar *sigh*...
