Adventures of Lauren - A brilliant blog about Lauren and her thriftiness. Mainly she refashions clothes into something new and there are a few other cheeky things on there too. <3


Bramble and Burdock - Abbi from Bramble and Burdock never fails to inspire me with beautiful art, crafts, design and photography all over her blog! 


Chasing Art - A blog full of hand made cards and prettiness, both Arty and Crafty. Two creative things I love on one blog from Monica.


Reloved Designs - Rebecca at Reloved (who also has an etsy shop!) is a massive inspiration for crafters and upcyclers everywhere turning tat to treasure and then into business. Check out the beautiful jewellery she makes! 


My Homemade Life - Another thing close to my heart, a blog full of cooking! Thanks to Sally and her step by steps for tasty recipes making my kitchen antics a little less chaotic.


Thank you all for the inspiration and good luck choosing who inspires you!

A Vintage Deck of Cards

I found a stack of jumbled cards in my house recently. It may not be a full set but I have what I could find of a particularly interesting vintage deck, I have scanned and posted it here for you lovely people to download/copy/paste and use as you wish in crafts, journals, pinterest, printed on other printables and in art. All I ask is that if you use them or pin them for later, to leave me a link to your blog and/or pinterest. I would like to see their uses. Right click, copy and paste into a document to print.


Most of the hearts are missing which is a shame, but I hope you are inspired by these!

 

 

Enjoy!

Interning in Liverpool

Now, in my second year of history of art and museum and studies lucky for us they are already putting on the pressure to think about proper grown up jobs when we leave in about a year and a half...


I now intern at The Bluecoat Display Centre. The BDC is one of the earliest Craft Galleries in the UK, And I am in love. Its a registered Arts and Culture Charity as it is a non profit organisation aimed at recognising contemporary craft and design of living artists both locally and internationally. 


They even have an online application form for craftspeople wanting to apply to sell their work!  Since its an internship, I'm working for free in exchange for the experience and knowledge the lovely staff are sharing. If I was paid, ALL my money would go straight back in and I would end up with a student house full of ceramics, glass works and jewellery. I don't even wear jewellery! The work is just THAT gorgeous. Anyway, here is a little look at some of the artists work the BDC sells.

I could happily work at the BDC until my house is bursting with beautiful things, shame I need to be able to travel light, and I already fail at that.
