Typewriter jewellery!

Whilst reading Suburose blog, I noticed her most recent giveaway, and I fell in love instantly! It is a bracelet made from the number keys from an old typewriter - I absolutely adore it!



This bracelet is made by Keysandmemories at Etsy, and there are many other wonderful bracelets - I would highly recommend checking her out!

Bloomin' marvellous!


Whilst browsing Etsy, I found a this wonderful shop, porridgepapers, who make handmade paper. I was especially enamoured by their pinwheel girl card above, which, along with some of their other cards, is plantable and has seeds in the paper, so once the card is finished with you can plant it and grow some pretty plants with it too!

If I ever received one, I'm not sure whether I would want to plant it as it is so pretty, but what a wonderful idea!

I saw this game on another blog, suburose.com and I loved the idea so I just had to have a go myself!

Firstly, here is my mosaic!




The concept:
a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker.


The Questions:
1. What is your first name?
2. What is your favorite food?
3. What high school did you go to?
4. What is your favorite color?
5. Who is your celebrity crush?
6. Favorite drink?
7. Dream vacation?
8. Favorite dessert?
9. What you want to be when you grow up?
10. What do you love most in life?
11. One Word to describe you.
12. Your flickr name


Have a go, and don't forget to link back to yours in the comments - I'd love to see how yours turned out! :)
