A little distraction

Whilst I have been spending this year in self reflection (or self indulgence?) I have also been nurturing a little creative idea I've had for a while.

Those who know me, know that creativity is not my forte - I am an accountant after all - but the idea would not leave me and I have now (as in, tonight) set up an etsy shop selling my idea!

Sadly, but not surprisingly, I used to collect postage stamps as a child. I have quite a collection. Now I'm getting on in years, so has my stamp collection to the point that many of them are deemed vintage. They are beautiful and unique (due to the postmarks) and I thought that maybe others would think so too.

We will see.

Have a look at the link - and then get prepared to be lost in the 'black hole' of etsy - you never know you may find Christmas present inspiration there while you are at it!

There are more to come so please look again soon.

But I want it...

I'm obsessed with this beautiful linen duvet cover and valance from Rough Linen! Can't work out how to buy it from Australia, but I really want it.

Yes it's all frighteningly expensive but I can't stop looking at it and keep finding it referenced in every blog / website I look at eg: sfgirlbybay blog site and design sponge blog. Help - anybody know how I can source it or do you have any suggestions for other linen doona / duvet covers that are available here?
