Look what I bought!



This more-than-just-cute bottle cap girl is actually a button, and I bought her last Saturday from Circles are forever. I never expected her to arrive this quickly!
And, seller Kim was nice enough to throw in an extra little cap button! I love it!

They will both be pinned on my denim and coming with me when I pop into town this afternoon. I will be sure to take Kim's business cards with me in case anyone asks about them.

Business cards



Look what I've got! My very own business card! Woohooo! Things are starting to look more and more professional.

(Oh, and if you'd like one, or a few to pass on to friends, please let me know!)

Peg pirates



I know how hard it can be to shop for boys. They seem to already have all the cars they'll ever want, all the Lego, and after last year's disaster you definitely don't want to give little Joey another sword or toy that comes with batteries and lotsss of noise.

So how about something hand made? Something they can play with for hours and make up their own stories with?

These peg pirates will steal your little boy's (or hey, maybe even your girl's) heart!

Want these, looking for more than 6 pirates or maybe looking for different colours?
Come and have a look at Timeless, my Etsy shop.

And another one!




Just before midnight, these were sold too! Woohoooo!

Sold!



I just sold my first eggcups! Monday they'll be shipped off to Australia! I had to custom make one extra, as they were for her kids and she's got three, but that was no problem.

My first sale of the year! I'm so happy!

Purple on black


These eggcups were first painted black and then decorated with purple flowers and some dotted swirly curls. They will look lovely on your breakfast table!

Royal Orange



On April 30th the Dutch celebrate their Queen's birthday. (It's not our Queen's birthday, it's her Mum's, but as our Queen's birthday is in January and her Mum had been Queen for so long, she decided that Queen's Day would still be celebrated on April 30th... ) As our Royals' last name is Van Oranje, of orange, it's hardly surprising that the eggcups made on that day, with a little prince and a little princess, are mainly orange.

Seahorse eggcups


I recently started painting on wood. These seahorses were painted on wooden eggcups and lots of glitters were added. They will bring a sparkle to your breakfast table!
