some etsy favourites…

seems i’ve got a thing for teals and acqua’s today, and puffy clouds and birds. Perhaps this combo is all very soothing, and dreamy, just what i need to start the week! I love this photograph from Montreal photographer irene suchocki. She describes her works as creating ‘little poems for the eyes’, and i think she does this perfectly…

This Bird Has Flown by irene suchocki.

and you know I have a thing for the etsy boutique of Foundling. And I definitely have a thing for her phoenix necklace, crafted from a little vintage Cracker Jack prize from the 1930s or 1940s, dangling from a natural brass chain with a mix of stones and vintage glass, vintage lucite and semi-precious stone beads. wow. I love the way Foundling photographs her creations too – really thoughtful and very inspiring.

I have fallen in love with Ball and Chain’s quirky designs, and especially with this one: the cloud silver silhouette necklace.

I like to keep a selection of flower pins by the front door to add one to my bag, or jacket or hair before I head out the door. This one would be perfect for my collection: Teal Carnation Flower Pin made from a recycled t-shirt. It’s the handiwork of etsy favourite marang 97.

Hope you enjoyed this installment of…

    hi nancy! it is a really sturdy boat, it is easy to forget i am on a boat actually. i hear the water when birds dive into it near a window, or when a boat comes past, but it doesn’t rock – the only time it rocks is when it is super windy – but i mean super windy, and all that happens is it just moves ever so slightly. you would do fine on this boat i think!

    cindy k – me too! i love the colour – there are other colours too, did you check them out?

    I love Irene’s photographs! I ‘found’ her awhile ago and am happy that she is inspiring others too.
