Twigs or Music Notes

I can't quite decide whether these lovely jewellery remind me more of twigs or music notes... Either way, one thing is for sure, that they are stunningly beautiful and definitely one of a kind

Jackie Peppermint

I adore these wonderful illustrations by Jackie Bos, but what I love even more is how she turned these into even more gorgeous things...

Tabletop Forest

Adore this sweet little Forest Tabletop Clock!

Linkel Designs

Let me introduct you to Linkel Designs, home of handcrafted gemstone, vintage and nature inspired jewelry. I adore the delicate appeal of their jewelry, and with more than 20 pages of listing, the shop is certainly a treat for the eyes, all very reasonably priced. Yes that does mean you'd be spoilt for choice ;)

Magnolija DRESS

Sorry for my absence this week, had a technical problem with my laptop along with a deadline to hit.. not a good combo! Anyway, let's leave the unhappy things behind and lift ourselves into the world of romance, fairy tales and dreams.....

Miniature Cuteness

Let me introduce you to the cutest shop on Etsy - Cute Ability, I only discovered it last night but I've added like 10 things to my wishlist already!!

The teapots & cups collection is my favorite. Blue + white is my all time favorite colour combo so I'm hoping to make this cute teapot necklace mine very soon :)

Need something to go with your tea? How about some dessert? Cupcakes maybe?

Worried it might make you want sweets all the time? I know I am! How about some "classic" hearts?

and the best thing? They are all very affordable! Now no one buy the blue teapot please, it is mine!! - only joking... I'm sure they have more than one in stock.

{Weekly Giveaway} Edor Jewelry

Hello darling readers! The first of our new {Weekly Giveaway} series is here! I am hoping to find some very talented Etsy sellers and other businesses to join this series. I am very excited to start off with a giveaway of these gorgeous necklaces by Edor Jewelry.

The best part of the giveaway? The winner gets to choose any piece of jewelry from their Etsy shop! That's right, you get to choose! I have to warn you, it's not an easy task, they're all gorgeous!

How to Enter? Anyone who leaves a comment on any post during the next 7 days is automatically entered in the draw, starting with this post and ending Saturday the 21th at 8am GMT. The winner will be revealed later that day.

The idea behind it? I love reading all your lovely comments, it really makes my day brighter, but these days with all the university work and running a small business, I just don't quite have the time to reply to all the comments, so I thought a giveaway would be perfect for making it up to you. I will visit your blogs at least once a week to catch up though, :)

Rules: only leave one comment per post please, meaningless comments will also be discarded. To pick the winner, I will first use randome.org to generate a number between 1 to 7 (7 posts a week) and then pick a randome comment within that post.

I'll be back with another {Styling Luphia} post tomorrow, hope you are having a lovely weekend :)

Hooked on: Vintage Linen Pillows

{Ludwigas Linen}

I have always loved all things vintage, whether it's vintage clothes, vintage typewriters or my current love vintage linen. Their simple yet elegant designs speaks to my heart, and it is also eco-chic!

{Beyond France}

How about these beauties made from old grain sacks? I just adore the design!

{top left: Ernst and Thistle bottom right: Vintage Weave others: MFV53}

What do you all think my dearest readers, do these lovely pillows have a place in your home? :) Oh, I've also joined the Hooked on Friday party, check out what others are hooked on here.

Happy Friday! I will be back tomorrow for a post of the new series {Styling Luphia}, so if you get bored, you can always come and visit me in blogland? ;)

I wish I am in Paris, care to join me? Just look at the photos and imagine... xx

I do like Tea

While taking a break from the coursework that is currently taking over my life - it's amazing how in programme coding a little missing "," can make your life so miserable! I discovered the amazinly talented Tabitha behind Tabitha Emma, her illustrations are so beautiful and sweet I wanted to buy her whole shop!

I love her tea themed illustrations the best as I know if I looked at any of her cute cupcake illustrations I'll get hungry ;)

How pretty are these teacups? I am putting this at the top of my wishlist!

I couldn't leave without buying a thing so I bought this sweet little calendar, ONLY $1.50! Shame the other two designs sold out otherwise I would so buy all three! :)

I feel like I need some tea now, and maybe with some cakes ;)

How can I resist you?

Since I plan on making some cupcakes on Saturday, I though I'd better do some research into receipes etc. then as usually I got distracted and found these gorgeous cards & prints on Etsy instead! Is it weird that I want to eat the paper? :)

{1. InvitaPaperStudio 2. rkdsign88 3. paperholiday 4. RedRedOrange }

Not tempted yet? How about these, can you resist them?

{ creativeapples }

I'd be happy if mine turned out half as good! Do you have a sweet tooth? xx

White and Gold

or should it be silver & gold? Anyway, they're both my favorite colour combinations, I find myself always drawn to white & gold ceramics, beddings, jewellery...

love the handmade quality in these beautiful jewellery by eRosas, and her photography is pretty great too, these images of silver & gold against charcoal are simply stunning. I love the simplicity of the top left necklace, which one is your favorite?

On another note, all exams have finished today, thanks for all the good luck wishes, it really worked! In celebration of this & other things, there will be a great giveaway (hint: something pretty I bought in town just 2hrs ago!), so make sure you come back to check it out later!
