Show Pony....

I picked up a business card today for Glasgow based Show Pony today at the Glasgow Craft Mafia fair.


Show Pony's designs are so quirky and original, I love hidden details like the ones on these purses and pillows...

Hiding Place purse and pillow.

Printed with pretty birds, dragon flies, vines and flowers this purse and cushion reveal a more sinister side when you peek behind the folds - spiders, ants, earwigs and thorns, nature's dark side.

Passing Time pillow.








Winter follows Summer as the bare trees are revealed in the tucks and folds hidden behind the print of leafy trees.


Vintage Purse.




And because I can't resist a puppy....

Hot Dog.



"Filled with wheat and lavender just pop him in the microwave for a couple of minutes and this little doggy will keep warm for about 2 hours. Use her to sooth away aches and pains, warm up your bed or just give you a cosy cuddle on the couch. She's cleaner, easier to look after and smells much better than your own dog."

It's nice to find an etsy seller based a bit closer to home than most of the ones that I fall for!

Son of Rambow

Go and see it if you can, it's bloody brilliant...

"the giddy, goofy and heartfelt creativity of Son of Rambow would stand out regardless of where, or when, one had the good fortune to see it..."






"...watching it, you can't help but think of all the lazy afternoons you spent as a kid dreaming of being Indiana Jones or Lt. Ripley, Flash Gordon or Nancy Drew... Son of Rambow is a great reminder -- of joy, of possibility, of youth -- and at the same time, it makes you feel like dreams are still possible, and that joy is all around if you're willing to dare to find it."

Quotes from Sundance Review by James Rocchi

Bloom, Grow, Love some more.....

oh so pretty.....

And because I can never resist a puppy.....

Anyone want to hop on over to etsy and buy a blogging girl a present? Or a puppy? Anyone?

Although I'm not sure you can get puppies on etsy....hmmm. I may have to leave directions to the cat and dog home on The Boy's desk.....
