i love how nature is taking over our ugly fences.

the beauty of the flower is the perfect contradiction to the steel of the gate.

beauty meets the beast ♥

l is for lady bird

i was just outside hanging up some beautiful new vintage to dry when a beautiful little lady bird landed on my hand.

i put her on the clivia's in the garden.

they just looked so beautiful and the oranges made me think of summer.

sometimes the smallest little things can be so beautiful.

we are so lucky to get to see such beautiful things every day.

i just love summer, it's the most awesome season with beautiful dresses to love.

i hope you all have a beautiful vintage and love filled weekend! ♥

c is for customer

if you have been a regular on the cape town market scene, you would have had the privilege of meeting the lovely cheralee.

she is one super talented lady, and i have had the pleasure of meeting her.

she has her own vintage line - the mint collection

p is for pony portrait project, lucky

a while back i discovered the amazing blog of miss angie

aka Lucky Pony

http://luckypony.co.za

her blog is absolutely amazing and so fun and cute.

and i just love it!

yesterday she announced 

The Lucky Pony Portrait Project

and this is what it is all about:

So, i’m calling all clever hands or not so clever hands (like myself) that can or can’t (even better) draw or paint or sculpt or ink etc etc to join the very first ever Lucky Pony Portrait Project and this is how it will work:

I think this project could be super fun and think about it, you will be the only person in the whole world to have a once off original of yourself, made by someone you will probably never ever meet. Ha. Nice. So let me know if you are keen and lets make art together.

It’s open to absolutely anyone, local or overseas and you DO NOT have to be able to draw, I can’t stress this enough. So if you feel like joining, please do so xxx

so head on over here:

http://luckypony.co.za/?p=13006

and go sign up asap!

i did, and i can't wait to join in on this fun.

by now you must have figured that i quiet love drawing and designing and art so this is right up my vintage loving alley. ♥
