Probably my most adventurous project so far. This sunglasses case/clutch bag was made from stiff curtain tape and then lined and covered. I'm quite proud of it and didn't think it would turn out this good, if I say so myself. The doily actually originated from Portugal where years ago my Mother stole it from a posh hotel..... :)

Grey & Black




A mixture of my favourite t shirt, jacket, and sunglasses. I would live in that t shirt if I couls I wear it with everything and anything.




My bag is all the way from South Africa and is the perfect size to hold my purse and phone. I added the little embellishment myself, like I usually do.


Don't know why I haven't worn these oxfords more, they're great with everything.

Accesory for Summer



Earrings I made with beads from two bracelets that were broken. My fingers are still sore from twisting that wire!

An Old Classic






The accessorry I seem to find myself wearing with everything. since most of my jewellery is gold it's perfect and what girl can resist the charm of old world toys?

Funky Fish




A cute present from my mother. Who knew ankle socks could put a smile on your face.

Shoe Obession


My new favourite shoes. Originally from Dunnes Stores so they would have been a reasonable price anyway but I got them in a charity shop for €7.50! Bargains make me happy!







Here I'm also sporting the bracelet my mother brought me back from Portugal.


Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

My Sanctuary & Storage


I got this box when I bought my vintage watch at Portabello Market last year.




The box my sister got me for my birthday 6 months ago that now has a purpose and it's getting full fast. It holds my fabric, beads, buttons, brooches, threads and mix and match bits of old jewellery.



This the the place I seem to be spending quite alot of my time lately doing my DIY projects. It's such a relaxing space.

Dickie Bow




A simply made dickie bow pin, compliments a lot of outfits. I think I might also try pairing it with a vintage jumper too.

Bow Headband




Oversized bow hairband I made from old curtain material and a button from old jeans. I love recycling!

Button Belt Buckle


Collection of colourful buttons makes a fun belt buckle.

Cocktail Button Ring


Once a button on a dress I wore as a little girl, now sewn onto elastic, its a fabulous cocktail ring!

Work In Progress


Recently decided to take out my collection of old beads and buttons to see if I could make something worth wearing.
