Amanda is Lovely.

As you may have gathered by now if you are a regular reader of my blog, I go ape-bananas when I get even the tiniest bit of press. It's just my inner fame monster screaming to come out I think, but I think it's also the yearning most creative types have for acknowledgement from your peers, or someone in the design industry, or perhaps a complete stranger of your art. Sometimes I think we're a very insecure bunch, us artists.

Which is why my smiley face is in part owed to one lovely blogger; Amanda from Calico & Co., whose adventure is best described in her own words;

"As a result, Calico & Co. has become an online journal where I share all the amazing indie, handmade and design discoveries I come across in my day to day life. I particularly have a passion to shine the spotlight on and support Australian creatives in their indie and handmade ventures, and if it is environmentally friendly then that's all the better! I also share parts of my real life with my readers and some of the projects I am working on, like the setting up of my own stationery range."

Amanda has featured things from my etsy and madeit stores a total of three times, and I am so thankful for her efforts in not only promoting me, but other amasing artists too. I'll certainly be adding her great picks to my blog reader subscription... you should check her out. Click the pics below to link to Calico & Co. blog, and the most recent feature of my snowflake purse!

Big hugs Amanda, keep up the great work!

Sunset Mag Shot

Emma's snap of my Pattern Portrait necklaces (available at William Topp and at Perth Upmarket) are the covershot for SunsetMag's website this month. Hoorah! :)

Hiatus Hippo

Hi everyone,

Just letting you all know whats going on, and why I've dissapeared.

Turns out Third Year Architecture has very intense periods at times, and now is one of them. So I'll be doing very little in the way of posting either here or on the MOTL blog until things calm the heck down. So apologies :)

I'll leave you with this bunch of awesome however:

A lovely feature on the Gin in a Teacup blog, from her purchase from me at Unwrapped.

And this necklace I found on etsy (which has a sleek new look, not sure I'm a fan though.)

A sad Goodbye to Fame

This is what I assume to be the last etsy press post for a while, as I am yet to be convinced that my Twenty Kisses brooch was more than a press-whore fluke (surprisingly though, not one sale as yet *sighs*)

Front Page for one of my Ingrid Frame pendants. Click image for links to items.

And a cute feature on etsy's blog, the storque, make sure you go and look at all the other fantastic items featured HERE.

I'm really excited about where Pip and Emily is heading into the future!

Awesome People that Like my Stuffs

...and no, they are not awesome because they like my stuff, their awesomeness title comes from the fact that the things they do themselves are very special!

Like Kersey, who very kindly featured me on her pretty blog; who has cleverly mastered the art of book binding, something which I am still yet to try (I'm rather too intimidated by it to tell the truth)


And the very talented Amanda who writes a beautiful looking blog called Calico & Co. (runs off the tongue nicely doesnt it!) Head over there to have a gander, and look at the other lovely people she featured alongside my Twenty Kisses Brooch.

Etsy Front Page! Yes!

The first feature on the front page of one of my Pip and Emily range! I hope it will be the first of many... but we'll see!

If you see something you like, head over to Craft Cult for the Links :)

Treasure, me Hearties! Volume 6

Wow. It is so hot here I cant whip up the enthusiasm for a really talkative post.

So here goes;

1. Acorns Vintage AND Osier feature from my buddy Amanda from Polyclarific. This was done as part of our Australia Day celebrations in our Perth etsy sellers team.

2. Two more features of my Twenty Kisses Pip&Emily Brooch in Valentines themed treasuries from the lovey Maeve Barton, and darlingART.

3. A huge big huggy thankyou to the three of you for your support. I appreciate it more than you know. xx

Treasure, me Hearties! Volume 5

Yay! Listing and renewing and posting new items works.

Here is the proof:

A beautifully curated treasury featuring my Twenty Kisses Brooch from Mooshoopork, who I have actually admired previous to this, but now love her even more:

And another pretty treasury featuring my Owl&Stag Brooch by Sweetie Pie.

Here are some of her vintage delights!

So all you creatives out there; list, relist and dont forget to thank the lovely people when they do feature you.

I'll post another made by a Perthie when I get up :) but technically I cant say tomorrow seeing as its 3.20... gosh I love being a night owl and on holidays!
