the vamoose jewellery
kathryn blackmore, whose illustrations i have featured (previously known as fish bear), makes some wonderful little necklaces. i hope she stocks up her shop, soon.




La Tonkinoise à Paris
My little world is a happy recycling, a small jumble of flea market where you find the jewels fell into disuse. Each jewel that I put in point is a unique piece with a carefully considered composition. Remixing pins, buckles, buttons, watches, often of no concern to people… Each model is assembled by hand in my workshop from the 11th arrondissement in Paris





angie & her friend jo have created all this amazing handmade jewellery for the Charity Angel’s flea market
Bedfordview Pre-Primary School – 22 Kings Road Bedfordview (across from St Benedicts), 10am to 3pm on sunday the 6 December, THIS sunday.
if you’re in the area code go buy some stuff for pete’s sake! (i looove those brooches)


i’m thinking about christmas already. sigh. my family has instituted a one gift per person R100 limit (to combat the “meltdown“). i told them R100 is almost impossible, so i’m shooting for under 200 bucks. anything handmade is great to me, and anything i can order online is even better. if i can walk to a shop – wonderful, but that kind of limits you geographically & since i’m out in “the sticks” (as some might say) i welcome e-commerce with open arms (i’m also lazy). PLUS i’d also like to inject some christmas cheer into the south african postal
some beautiful handmade leather bags from cha cha at etsy
lauren alane makes these
i’d like to introduce you to Ferdinand – he was delivered to my door just minutes ago (via the trusty south african postal service, thank you very much). he was lovingly made by Marisa Girardi, a Cape Town based artist and all round crafty person. Marisa sells her handmade goodies online – be sure to peruse her Etsy shop or check out her website (perfect for south african customers). you can also follow her on twitter. it was a difficult decision choosing one – but i think the socks did it for me.
