pretty little things

swoon

today i want to share one of my all time favorite artists:

linotte by anke weckmann
 

i want to BE one of her illustrated fancies.

i was going to try to select some favorites to include in this post,

but all of her work is so fantastic you'll just have to go

browse her portfolio and see for yourself

or spend a lazy afternoon getting lost on her beautiful blog

super inspiring!

spoonful of lovely

this weeks etsy faves are loosely inspired by miss mary poppins.

 

i love that movie!

my favorite parts are when they tidy up the nursery 

jump into the chalk drawing, enjoy tea on the ceiling 

and when she sings a spoonful of sugar

  

and of course the carpet bag scene is classic.

"practically perfect in every way"

(the moose seems a little random, but i love him anyways)

heads up

 dress your pretty little head

 

with my new flower, feather, and leaf crowns.

coming soon:)

EDIT: i've had several inquiries about when these will become available.

i am planning to add them to the shop towards the end of next week.

making the cut

here's what my afternoon looks like

i know they make dies that cut petals, but then they just all look the same 

...i prefer to do things the hard way...

which is why it takes me an afternoon or 2 or 3

to create a handful of flowers, but i think it's worth it.

L♥VE

i ordered this sweater last week 

and got it in the mail a couple days ago.

 

it is fabulous!! 

(it reminds me of a vintage ski sweater)

although its lightweight 100% cotton, so it's perfect for layering

...you could even put something over it...

anyways it's on sale right now. so go get one!
