I thought I'd post about a few recent purchases of little things that are making me very, very happy.
And when I started thinking about it, many of them seem to be red (or reddish)...so we've got kind of a theme going here:
Beautiful poppy pin from the graceful Etsy shop, Foundling (the equally beautiful image is the seller's own). Very excited about these...I've been eying them for quite a while.
These insanely sweet and Black Apple-ish hairpins from Anthro that I had also been eying for a while.
Also from Anthro, this teacup I had been crazy for, and finally ordered.
Pretty scatter-pins (the least red of the bunch, I'm noticing now) from this quirky-cute Etsy shop.
And this gocco print, which I find terribly romantic, from the always-right-on Julianna Swaney. I can't keep my dollars in my pocket when I go to her Etsy shop!
Here's to little treasures that make it all so much better!

I've been loving those poppy hairpins for ages, too! They are so pretty. As are all of your new treasures. That teacup is to die for - now all you need is some red rooibos tea! (I recommend Mighty Leaf's African nectar)

Ooooh,
I'm off for a nosey at those shops!
Congrats, by the way on all your recent success! Not posted for a while, (been having a baby! Little girl, Sienna-Rose).

Oh wow! I love that teacup! I usually stay away from the Anthropologie webpage because I know I'm going to want 99.9% of the items listed... but maybe I should check out this teacup!

So many great things! My favorite is the teacup and saucer!

It's funny how you're attracted to particular colours for a while, isn't it? I wonder if there's any symbolism attached to red that you're craving. Warmth, energy, strength, vibrance ... or maybe I'm just talking rubbish. I have noticed that I'm attracted to yellow and orange things recently, which I think is because we're heading into autumn here and the skies are grey and gloomy.

what pretty little discoveries!! :) I've had red on the brain for the past few weeks; I refashioned a red cardigan, am working on a red dress, keeping picking out red accessories. I think it must be something in the air! hehe!

I love the colour of the poppies, but here in Australia, paper poppies are worn leading up to ANZAC day (April 25th) to remember our war hero's. So poppies always tend to have a little sadness about them for me.
The tea cup is adorable! I collect tea cups, and have to be quite selective, cause I could buy so many... but that one would definitely make the collection - super cute!

I love foundling - she's really sweet too.
Lotta · March 26, 2008 at 01:56 AM
Lovely red pretties, indeed! Oh, and I just love Julianna's work...and she is one of the sweetest beans around! :)
marjorie · March 26, 2008 at 08:11 AM

....lovely little red things!
Francesca · March 26, 2008 at 08:15 AM

Ana · March 26, 2008 at 08:16 AM

Miss Martin, I'm so happy that my little bibliophilic foxes could brighten your day!
Julianna · March 26, 2008 at 09:13 AM
I love all the pretty red things.. So you too! :)

I'm smitten with the poppies, I have to admit.

Hey, I wrote about those little poppies about a month ago on my old blog... also I lurve Julianna Swaney. I guess our tastes match today!
