The Dainty Squid & Under the Shade of a Bonsai Tree #2



Kaylah from The Dainty Squid included another one of my brooches in her fashion shoot. This time it's the "Blue and Hearts Doily Brooch". She's got spunk and is so cute!

This month at "Under the Shade of a Bonsai Tree"


Doing: filling jewellery orders, bushwalking, dinners & drinks, planning a Harry Potter party, market stalls.

Under the Shade of a Bonsai Tree at 'the market' - Autumn

Watching: I've been watching all the series of Love My Way and Tangled. I also went to the cinema recently to watch Water For Elephants. I really enjoyed it, perhaps more so as I've also read the book.
Reading: Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger

Listening to: The Jezabels, Clare Bowditch, Bat For Lashes, Katzenjammer



Buying: This awesome bonsai tree. I already have a different bonsai made by the same seller in Spain (Intres Handmade). I couldn't resist when I saw this. They are perfect little props for my markets stalls.


Looking forward to: Big overseas trips! We are travelling to Germany for about 5 weeks in August and I'll be travelling to Japan for a couple of weeks in February. So excited!

Making: This is my Japanese Cherry Blossom brooch (also available as a necklace) - available online as of today. If you buy now you will get it at the special introductory price of $22 (normally $30) I love it and have also had such a great response already.
