CityKitten {hearts} Fabrikate

Recently I met the wonderful Kate from Fabrikate at the Sisters Market in Brunswick. I instantly fell in love with her range of fabric covered bangles - especially the ones covered in Japanese fabrics.

She has recently got a new range of Japanese fabrics in stock so we can look forward to some lovely new creations from her soon. At the moment she doesn't have an online store but if you are near Melbourne this Saturday, you can see Kate at the Maldon Folk Festival Market. (or you can contact me and I will put you in touch with her).

Have a beautiful day!

Sunday In The Garden

Today has been the first really nice day to be outside (when I was home) since I have moved here so I did a spot of gardening. I harvested some beetroot (beets) from the veggie patch:

I picked some wild flowers from the vacant lot across the road, which I put in a vase in the kitchen: I also found a neat little lead horse - such a fabulous found object now I just have to decide what to do with him.

Have a beautiful day!

WANT! Oversized Tote Bag

If you're like me, and you shove everything into your handbag then you need a pretty big bag. And at the moment my want is a large bag to carry everything that is made out of beautiful leather to last the distance. Here are some of my favourites:

Tuquoise Leather Hobo Bag by Patkas.

Olive Green Cowhide Large Tote by Paulina Carcach.

Weekend Safari by Yoobu Handcrafted.

Green Leather Tote by Hedilu.

Leather Slouch Hanbag by Rib and Hull.

Have you ever noticed the "You might like" suggestions on the home page of etsy? They come up with all kinds of goodies and a recent one that I love, love, loved was from Yellena.

This fabulous print was what Etsy thought I might like...
