Swanky Baby Vintage SALE

Good morning lovelies and happy Monday!

(I know, I know, how can a Monday be happy?)

Well, hopefully this will brighten your day just a little.

Zulily is having a sale today on the cutest Swanky Baby Vintage collection!

Little girl's are just so much fun. That is before they decide that they can pick their own

clothes, like my daughter.

Felt Sculptures At Anthropologie

Perhaps you are into this modern version of the stuffed moose-head or you appreciate the comic mimicry of it enough to place these intricate art pieces by a New York based artist Zoe Williams on your wall.
Though not quite my cup of tea (having these creatures protrude from my walls is not exactly my idea of coziness. Plus they must be dust magnets), I appreciate the creativity and labor involved in whipping up one of these. Each, one of a kind felt sculpture is needle felted by hand - a slow and painstaking process, considering the size of the finished artwork. Zoe uses only a single needle and wool to create all of her art work, with the exception of finishing touches such as glass eyes, beads, feathers, and the wood frames on some of the pieces.

Anthropologie, currently offers four pieces by Zoe. They are Crane, Egret, Ibis - each one sold separately at $1,500 a piece (Although, I say: if you're going to buy one, you'll have to get the others too; they seem to go together), and a Black Swan .

Egret

Black Swan

Here are some other works by Zoe, in case you find them eerily appealing.

There are tons of tiny and cute needle felt figurines all over Etsy.

In the meantime, the website revived and so it's back to sale browsing!

Here are some of my picks.
