elephantHere’s a sneak peaks at some of the new jewellery we’ve been working on this week in anticipation of next weekends’ Brisbane Finders Keepers Market. Themes include animals dressed in their finest (felt) capes and hoods, some new circus friends (with pom-pom hats) and a few more surprises we’re working on as we speak! Hope to see you all in Brissy next weekend.

10 things I love this week

3 February 2010

These vintage miniature floral puppies I got at vinnies last week. But really, any miniature ceramic animal is a winner with me.

This ceramic wall bow I bought for $2! Who would throw this out?

bg8

Bunnies!

Bunnies!

And specifically this bunny. Because she tolerates my cuddles if I scratch her head. Oh and because she is SO pretty.

Floral Everything.

These vintage floral plates which I plan to draw on with the porcelaine pens Lynds bought me.

Cupcake liners!

and finding great, colourful things to decorate cupcakes with!

My christmas deers that stay out all year because they are too pretty to pack away.

My new Polaroid Pogo printer! This is by far one of the most exciting finds of late. It spits out tiny polaroid sticky-back photos in under 60 seconds and does it via bluetooth from your phone or computer! Excellent!

King Penguins at Melbourne Aquarium

20 November 2009

While we were down in Melbourne a few weeks ago we visited the melbourne aquarium to see the King Penguins! I’ve been dreaming of going on a trip to Antarctica for a few years now (it costs an absolute bomb though so I have no hope). This was the next best thing!! The enclosure at the Aquarium is so great you can get really close to them (even though they are behind glass) and they come right up to the glass to see who you are, very, very cute!

Here’s a few of the snaps we got :) Lx

Pigeon Problem

You can imagine my surprise when I found these fat baby pigeons living in Juno’s cage on the weekend. We have had a pigeon problem on our balcony for quite a while now, but this is the pinacle of my annoyance! Messy buggers. Kx

The Greatest Bambi Ever

13 August 2009

bambi

Prepare yourself, because I believe this is just about the coolest thing I’ve ever bought. A GIANT CERAMIC BAMBI. He’s almost 40cm tall, in amazing condition and I think I almost died when I saw him. You know how sometimes you find something so unbelievably good you look around to make sure no one else has seen it? Well that was me with this baby! I couldn’t get him in my hot little hands quick enough and now he’s all mine! I really think my life is complete now. Sigh. Kx

Vintage Wall Birds

Anyone who knows me knows I am quite partial to a little ceramic animal or twelve, But these are something special. These birdies are completely cute (the wade swallows are actually miniatures!) and still in their original packaging (which I absolutely love). I am especially fond of the ugly duckling set though, which I found on Etsy a few months ago for an absolute bargain price. Kx

Animals – dead or alive

15 June 2009

Well I usually like my animals alive – but so its just not even possible to see unless you travel to the ends of the earth and even then you are not guaranteed to get a glimpse. I would love, love, love love to go to Antarcica and see Emperor Penguins but until I win the lottery I’ll probably have to make do with the stuffed one I saw at the Natural History Museum in London. Another really cool thing we found there was an extinct GIANT SLOTH !!! How amazing, I had no idea they had even existed, and we are very big fans of sloths here at Made by White.

Giant Sloth and Emperor Penguin

After quite a big search through the museum I found my new favourite animal the Slow Loris, I fell in love after seeing this video and I just want one!! Again better when its alive but hey I don’t think we have these little guys here either, just possums that don’t like being scratched on their bellys.

Loris

Some animals we did see alive and well were deers and squirrels, I wanted to keep one of each and take them home, they are much better than possums and kangaroos!! The deers lived on the grounds of a Castle in Knole Park just out of London, they just roam around happily and are quite tame (some of them). The little squirrels we found playing around in the Buckingham Palace Gardens, they were only interested in you if you had some nuts to share with them but were super cute. Lx

Hello, Deer

While at world bar the other night I managed to snap a photo of this amazing Taxidermy stag on the wall there. He is so lovely and reminds me of the Gump from Return to Oz. Was a little worried when I realised they had him fixed to the wall though. How would one go about stealing something like this?
