Knock knock!

Knock-knock. It's cold and Christmasey, and it very much looks like so on Etsy! Have a dreamy weekend!

JKM (Joyful Christmas Matryoshkas)

I absolutely love those Christmas cards from tskts (found via Lulu Carter's blog). Folk/Matryoshka style prints are quite fashionable right now. What I like about these are the clean, no frills lines, yet the details are happy. The dolls' eyes are smiling to me, which is important if I am wishing someone a happiness and merriment. What I also like is the classic color combination, pure and classic, associated to a modern theme. Very well done.

Sweet beret Dadaya

What is this? I thought when I saw them first.

Tea cosies?

Toadstools?

Why,they're berets, of course~!

They don't come cheap at $120+ but they have a nice, intricate job and you'll have people wondering, too.

They can be bought from Dadaya at Etsy).

This is the girl herself, San San, unique and stylish. And here is her Flickr page and her blog.
I like Japanese quirkiness. Excellent for putting your best foot forward! Happy New Week!

Etsy Love!

I have so little time or disposition to go shopping these days. But I clicked on Etsy and here is what I caught my attention. Love you crafters!

Items picked from Artish and Cherie Lester.

Pirates fabric for J's bedroom

The most beautiful fabric I could expect arrived today for our son's bedroom.
J is 6 and he is very much into pirates. Although I wanted him to be happy with his new space, I didn't want anything terrifying for his bedroom. No skulls and Pirates of the Carribean.
So I searched and searched. Jane Churchill which I stock in our shop used to have a pirate/treasure island fabric, but it is now out of stock and Designers Guild hasn't shown anything remarkably boy-ish lately. So I had to look elsewhere.
I searched over the net and found a Michael Miller fabric that looked quite kitchy, yet in a happy way.
I ordered it from Lucky Kaeru over at Etsy.
It was reasonably priced and it arrived nicely and quickly, no problem whatsoever.

This one I am going to turn into a floor cushion.
And this one is what J chose for his curtains.

I hope to show you the end result soon!

Thank you Lucky Kaeru. Nice job!
