Soapariffic Father's Day Giveaway

Father's Day is coming up soon in Australia and goodness me but Dads can be hard to buy for... at least mine is... but there is an opportunity to win a gorgeous gift from Inner Earth Soaps - three bars of beautiful handmade soaps in masculine scents:

The manly soap-pack includes:
~ Bloke Soap - made with beer
~ Kakadu Soap - lemon myrtle, eucalyptus & tea tree
~ Ocean Spa Soap - rosemary, lavender, lemongrass, mint & kelp

Doesn't it sound fantastic? I would love to win this for my Dad (or myself for that matter, although I might pass on the beer soap ;) ) - I am in fact using some of Erin's delicious Vanilla Buttercream soap in the shower at the moment. It smells as good as it looks!

 You can enter the giveaway here! Entries are open til Wednesday 18 August. Good luck!

Something Lovely

I was the lucky winner of the re:deem designs blog giveaway! And look what the talented Vicki sent me... a beautiful handbound journal made from a repurposed vintage book, 'The Philosopher's Notebook'.

I adore the finishing touch with the old-fashioned library card in the back! Thank you SO much Vicki!

Vicki has a wonderful Etsy shop where she sells these beautiful journals and more... paper decorations, paper ephemera, little clutches... What is even better is that she uses a portion of her sales to support micro-enterprises for the disadvantaged. Definitely a shop you should check out!

I love the work of Michelle from Wing By Sea so much. I think she has a terrific aesthetic going on with her jewellery pieces, and I'll let a few of my very favourites speak for themselves...

I'm sure you agree... everything is so very, very lovely!! Enjoy your weekend!

Note to Self...

...do not spend a long time browsing amigurumi on Etsy just before going to sleep. It will induce weird crochet-related dreams.

Don't ask.

Something Lovely

I missed my 'Something Lovely' post last Friday due to being so sick - so here's a double shot of loveliness for you today!

I have definitely needed some cheering up with bright colours and cuteness... and I spotted these beautiful tags when I was browsing Treasuries on Etsy last night:

 Technicolour Tree Tags by PS It's In the Details

They were in the 'Into the Woods' treasury curated by Kattuna... so then I was checking out her shop and I think this little hippo embroidery is just adorable... don't you agree?

I hope these have made you smile today!

This gnome by HumbleBea on Etsy.

Is it not too gorgeous for words? Everything else in HumbleBea's shop is divine too...

Happy sigh.
