Modernist Plant Stand

I've been watching this handsome display table on eBay all week, but with 10hrs to go, it's already at £63, so I have to face the fact it shall not be mine.

Michael Miller Christmas Fabrics

First off a hello to those from the BA Fashion fabrics & accessories, plus textile design course at De Montfort university, Leicester. My blog has been put on your reading list for this year, so I hope you enjoy!

Christmas crafters will already be at work making their homemade presents for this year's holidays. If you are looking for some retro flair, I'd point you in the direction of Michael Miller (once again).

He also has some older fabric designs with fairies & the like, not my cup of tea. 

1960's & 1970's Patterned Teapots

I'm ebaying today for a nice teapot, it's that time of year again.

Lucienne Day Print Converse

Jack Purcell for Converse, reproduction of a mid-century Lucienne Day print.
I've only ever come across these on US eBay.

...Something... in a boot

eBay listing hints that it might be a poodle.

Spooky Harlequin Children Paintings

Another couple of creepy children, this time by an artist called 'Eden'.

Zombie Buns

My friend Pamela (@pamelaalgie on twitter) made us these zombie buns.
My husband is so grossed out by the fingers that I'm going to get to eat both.

Where to buy that beautiful Vintage Ladybird Book Handmade Goods

I contacted the seller of the bunting from the earlier post. She's Jenny Warner, and if you'd like to keep an eye on her auctions, her username on eBay is maille3.

Jenny will be listing similar items soon, and linked me to her flickr which is the equivalent of retro collector porn! Just look at the snapshot I've included of her 'green items' collection. A great example that kitsch can be done tastefully, and doesn't need to be as tacky as my home!
