Aren’t these fun? And not just for February, in my opinion anyway.

I just love Ana’s food-related artwork available in her Etsy shop Anek. Not only do the prints’ simplicity grab my attention but the sayings on them are in my favourite languages and they share such positive thoughts. Lovely for your own kitchen or the perfect gift for your most favourite foodie, don’t you think?

I’m spreading some pretty white goodness to you this Monday in the form of these gorgeous paper flowers! I think this elaborate floral artwork created by Helen Frances is simply stunning.

Many thanks to Adrienne S. for sending this my way.
Who’s ready for back-to-school season? (Ssshh…raise your hand.)

Last weekend I attended the Home County Folk Festival here in London. There’s a festival almost every weekend here in the city but I think Home County might just be my favourite. The music is great, the crowd is relaxed, and there are always some creative vendors. This year I was most attracted to the pretty jewelry and the lace and vintage window display at Fierce Deer, a Toronto-based shop owned by Kate Swan.

the Fierce Deer earring collection displayed on lace-backed vintage windows
Fierce Deer necklace charms
pretty knobs (remember this post?) hold necklaces
silver-plated necklace
a cup full of charms that are used for custom design

it’s the details – like the consistent deer theme – that make this shop so charming
Kate’s white cat – brings the shop good luck!
what I walked away with – a tiny bear on a long chain necklace – a must for my menagerie
It was great to meet Kate and to explore her charming jewelry shop. If you’d like to see more – go on and visit Fierce Deer.
