Feature of the Week

This week feature is based our little baby doll dress design with an added contemporary twist of two lovely fabrics.  The adorable polka dot print has a very nice denim look but it is actually a very soft medium weight cotton fabric.  And if you take a closer look at the tiny cherry print, you can see the tiny little yellow and white stripes in the background.

Happy Thursday!  =)

Marion Peck

It is so hard to find one word to generally define her works.  They are whimsical, adorable and sort of creepy.  Her use of lighting and soft rendering techniques are my favourite elements of her work.  Her little animal drawings are my favourites among all.  Here are some of her lovely works.

Feature of the Week

When it comes to fabric, voile is one of my favourites.  It is so soft to touch and the sheerness makes everything much more romantic.  This week's feature is a lovely collar baby doll dress crafted of a vintage inspired green floral print and beautiful soft white voile.  And it is embellished with my favourite vintage gold beads on bodice, as it has almost become a staple of the little baby doll dress.  Hope you like it!  =)

Favourite Things

We've certainly picked up a few things here and there in the past few trips.  It's time to put them up on the wall!  We've got this little "house" box from a swap meet.  It becomes the showcase of my favourite little objects, vintage notions, pins, little mascots, etc.

I felt in love with this little 1930s print from Kittens and Puppies by Ruth E. Newton when I first saw it.  Poor little kitten had got into trouble.  It is so adorable!  =)

 The little ceramic bunny works well with the sliced up petrified forest.

 

Happy Tuesday!  =)

Feature of the Week

The little round collar makes the baby doll dress even sweeter!  This little dress is crafted of lovely cotton linen blend fabric on body and delicate floral print cotton fabric on both collar and sleeves.

Thanks to dear chun from Puppy52 for our fun little day out and her lovely present!  =)

Her girl was a bit shy.

 She is such a fabulous doll dressmaker herself and her friend Mai at Mai Little Alien makes the most beautiful doll jeans.  Should check them out if you are into ball joint dolls.  =)

Happy Thursday!  =)

A Bit of Vancouver

It has been a while since my last visit to Vancouver.  It didn't change much except for the Winter Olympic Facilities and the new skytrain system.  As always, Granville Island was my favourite place to visit.

lovely handmade wood pins at Paper-Ya 

 One of my top priorities was to eat and eat.  It ended up with a table filled with a lot of fatty food, mostly fries.

Poutine Fries and Fully Loaded Curly Fries

We went this little Japanese hotdog place on Robson, called Japa Dog.  As you can imagine, there will be teriyaki sauce and Japanese mayo involved.  =)  

 We tried the Terimayo dog and Love Meat dog with a side order of Aonori Fries.  The Terimayo was a beef hotdog covered with teriyaki sauce, mayo and seaweed topping.  The Love Meat was a beef hotdog smothered with meat sauce and a lot of cheese.  And the fries were seasoned with seaweed.  They were all delicious and it was fun to try.  =)

Have a lovely week!  =)
