A Yummylicious Wall Deco

I told my dear husband that i'd like to have the basement to display most of the things i make and collect. i'd like to keep my craftroom strictly as a studio where i'll be working and the rest of the house strictly as 'lived in' as possible. 

He and Dad then jumped to the idea and get straight to business!! they are more excited than i am! the basement is just a tiny space that we currently have, unused and in very rustic and raw (i dont know how else to describe it!). it needs lots and lots of work, painting and covering up those pipes!

Quite recently, on my hunt for some collectables for the basement, i stumbled upon this really old looking (but new) key hanger. the company that made this has a line of beautiful home deco, all vintage and rustic looking. i think they are adorable!! of course, it came with a price (yikes!) and since i've been quite good this month, i decided to treat myself to it! 

I told myself that i cant be spending that much on a wooden plank. i can make my own wall deco for the basement. well, nothing close but at least it's handmade! 

I have this picture in my head as to how i want the basement to be. with lots of junks, repaired junks, with shabby fabrics, with lots of second hand display furniture i can get at the market.... gosh!! tonnes of ideas!! and these 2 sweet yummy wall decoration to hang!

If you'd like them, i can make one for you to hang as well!! it gives me toothache just by looking at them! hehe...

Till next time guys, love and best wishes always,

(p.s: i am currently cleaning up my craftroom and those tins that you see in the last picture, well, i intend to sell some of it! will snap proper photos and let you know)

My Findings in Czech

We're back! i think in total we have travelled more than 3000kms, and took more than 1000 photographs! what a holiday! We stayed at the Southern Bohemia Region in Czech and travelled to Vienna, Austria and Bratislava, Slovakia.


I am always on the lookout for local crafts and little little things that catches my eyes. that part of Czech where we stayed is most famous for its semi precious stones and porcelain. mum and i went absolutely crazy over the stones. (she knows more than i do, i just love their colours! she'll probably make better use of the them than i will! - i'm just gonna display them in a clear bowl!) We went to the same shop 3 times!!! we went mad!


I opted to buy these cute porcelain buttons instead of a Bohemian bowl (which is SO not me!). I have buckets and buckets full of buttons, but these will remain my favourite for now!


I was missing my ribbons and my papers so so much. almost 10 days without them! and as soon as i went into their haberdashary shops, i headed straight towards their ribbon section! if you're a craftaholic like me, your trip to Czech wouldnt be complete without at least a meter (or more) of Czech laces, threads and such!

I had a wonderful time... hope you guys been keeping yourselves well!
