A home that will truly brighten your day

I found the home of this talented lady on Flickr, and I just can't get enough. She lives in Malaysia with her sons and husband - and is obviously a very talented cook and decorator. Enjoy!


I really like this mirror. Vivaterra has a similar one from recycled boat wood.

One always needs plenty of space for books

Vintage beauty - inspiring photos from "Robes of Earth" on Flickr

I discovered Robes or Earth's photostream on flickr while searching for photos of apothecary cabinets - and I think you'll agree that it's a find! The photos are from amazing museums around the artist's home of Melbourne Australia - like "an open-air recreation of a coal mining settlement in the 1880s in rural Australia" - Coal Creek. The photographer - Penny Elizabeth Neal is also a salvage artist and craftsperson and creates amazing pieces of jewelry from vintage finds, which she sells on Etsy.

In fact, she has three Etsy shops -
Sparrow Salvage - the new shop with a more sparse, primitive feel.

Little Brown Sparrow (the old shop) for found-object jewellery, paper collage and more, all made from salvaged and antique things...

The Dark Woods for ragged taggle clothing, jewellery, goods and chattles with a dark, sparkly, earthy faery edge.



Check out the candelabra covered in wax!

Check out the Robes of Earth Photostream. You'll also see some photos of her studio where she creates her little treasures.

A sad day - and a loss for the web

This morning I went to check on the Domino website and it was gone!!! This is devastating, as I wasn't finished collecting images! I've been in denial for so long. A moment of silence my friends.
