Just In! Vintage Felt Hats
Posted on: December 6, 2012Keep your noggin warm and stylish in a jewel pop vintage felt hat this Winter! Continue reading »
A lovely collection of pristine vintage felt hats!
I had an exciting find yesterday upon opening a discarded hat box I discovered a collection of five felt hats each in a different beautiful jewel pop colour and all in absolute mint condition. I doubt they’ve ever been worn. They must have belonged to the same lady as they are all exactly the same size except the claret one which is a tad smaller. If you fancy adding a dash of colour and panache to your Winter look then your noggin needs to be a tad smaller than mine and measure 55cm at the point in which you want the hat to sit on your head. If you’re a lucky fit you can choose from emerald green, claret, mustard, midnight blue and violet. If you buy a few then I’ll throw in the fancy boutique hat box!

Welcome to Candy Dreamland
Posted on: November 9, 2012I have a new favourite store on Etsy and it celebrates my love for one of a kind party supplies - dime store style! Continue reading »
Dime Store Buddy: Stripey straws, chilly dilly pickle bags & zig zag cutlery.
I can’t remember the keyword search that led me to discover and fall instantly head over heels in rainbow love with the unashamedly colourful and stripey world that is Dime Store Buddy. It’s an Etsy store based in the US, not a bricks and mortar in London. I was disappointed by this fact at first then slowly realised it was probably for the best, otherwise my kitchenette would be stuffed full of things like 50 chilly dilly pickle bags. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad? Continue reading »
