A whole year, new me, Klomp Ceramics

Wow, it's been a whole year and 3 days since I last blogged. Bad blogger! Besides for recovering from a brain tumour I've just been too busy to blog!

I'm spending a lot of time pinning inspiration here if you'd like to take a look. It's kind of like lazy blogging!

And I've just launched my handmade ceramic collection Klomp Ceramics online here. Here are some pictures...

So now you know where to find me!

The Vamoose

Ok, so I discovered The Vamoose a while ago and have been keeping it all to myself. I have been selfishly coveting it like the precious gems, metals & genius that it is. But I think it's high time I share, so have a look at this exquisite jewellery by Kathryn Blackmore and the things that inspire her.

I know, I know.

Make your ♥ happy & shop here. All images from her heavenly blog.

Minoux

"Minoux is all about melding a love of style with a commitment to thoughtful consumption". Each piece is made by hand in an eco-conscious manner in a barn in Portland, Oregan. Not sure if it's the eco-conscious part or the folksy barn part that tickles my fancy more.

La Bella Cosa

Kate & Laura, two South African sisters with a passion for Italy, have returned from their travels to Venice with a beautiful collection of Murano jewellery & homeware which they will be showing and selling at an open day this weekend 25 & 26 March from 10am to 6pm at 23 Chateau Circle Constantia.
 

 "Murano is the oldest centre for glassmaking in history, a Venetian island whose glass making traditions date back to the thirteenth century. The hand picked pieces in the 'La Bella Cosa' collection are wonderful examples of contemporary pieces meeting a century old artisan craft."
