An anxious blogger...

I'm feeling a little lost here, not knowing where to go with the whole blogging thing. Seems I take the attitude towards blogging that I do to design and everything else I do. It's frought with worry and doubt. And the wish to be original. Which is truely a pointless thing to try and achieve, originality. I guess a lot of original things can come out of "copying" something you like as you put your own spin on it. At least that's what I've read... Thoughts please...

Is "frought" a word?

So in my frantic way of trying to find something to blog, that will be of interest, I look back to the ol' internet bookmark archive and found these which I forgot how much I loved by ANTIGIRL. Anywhoo, advice on blogging, as you can see would me most welcome. I'm guessing you can tell I'm one of those people who like inspirational quotes...can I feel a blog coming on? I'm predictable so yes, that may well be my next blog. Hopefully I can find something other than just those "Keep calm and carry on" posters.

Anyway, some pretty pics...

Gorgeous letterpress stationery




I love letterpress designs and these are particularly lovely from California based elum. You cannot order online for international orders but you can by phone.

good combination

mmm...what would happen were I to combine two of my favourite edible things...

Thanks for the tip Hannah! link.

Hanna Werning




I was aware of Hanna Werning's designs but didn't know who had made them until yesterday thanks to my friend Hannah! Especially love the Anna Sui Spring/Summer 08 pattern below. I want that dress. Looks like I am into fashion textiles after all, Hannah!

New Jewellery Crush



I'm a big fan of jewellery, and usually stick to the high street but have been finding it harder and harder to find 'special' jewellery. The kind you want to place carefully in a pretty, velvet-lined box, that which you would mourn for for days were you to lose it. So my mission for beautiful jewellery has started, and let me tell you, the internet is one big treasure trove.

My fave at the mo is Lee May Foster of Bonbi Forest. Truely precious designs. I want them!!! The website is really cool too.
