July Fetish!

What's not to love about doilies? These gorgeous crocheted beauties always find a place in my home. They are delicate, white, handcrafted and ofcourse have that vintage charm which is what pulls me to them.

And this July I am obsessed with them. Get ready to see a lot of ideas around Doilies.

First up are lamps.

Pretty Mason jars, doilies, cute little buttons, twine and tea lights. 
A combination made in heaven.
Totally drooling over this one. A pendant made entirely out of doilies
There is also a great tutorial on how to make this, right here


A great idea for a party or a wedding centerpiece. 
Ivory envelopes, dioilies and a yellow twinkle.

These Doilies chandeliers are a really making my heart skip several beats. 
I might just give these a try.

Till we meet again, happy crafting:)

June Fetish!!!!

This picture is here simply because I want it to be here. It has two of my favorite things. Typewriters & Lanterns. There is something about typewriters and me...I think we have a connection. I always end up posting snaps of them here. Do you like them too? I think I have a vague idea of what my next month's fetish is going to be all about...wink wink!

That pop of pink amidst all that black & grey & silver does the trick. 



I have a feeling this a cozy tent in midst of deep deep forest. May be if I walk out of this tent I will find the typewriter & the lantern you just saw. Yes, I am sure I will.




Such striking interiors. Prints & stripes, Black & white, that potted plant, the sleek table, so many books..ah and such an inviting bed! I am all ready to leave the city and shift here!

June Fetish!!!

June Fetish continues...



Another table vignette with a lantern. This one looks so fresh and clean. I quite like the use of white and blue here. Clutterfree. The pastel white lantern. The pretty blue print, ceramic bowl and that so cute owl. Do you like that doll just like me? I remember having eight of them in different sizes when I was a child. Should dig up the cupboard's at my mom's to get them out for Sara's room. Won't they look pretty?




A complete contrast to what you just saw. This one is a such a gorgeous pile of things just thrown in. Those leafy cushions,  a hold-all, the dry flower frame, a vintage-y flower pot and books! The silver lantern blends in so effortlessly...doesn't it?

June Fetish!!

Back with some more warm light!




This table vignette is so perfect! Those bead necklaces hanging up there, the lovely ceramic bowls, lots of pretty bottles on the tray, a lovely frame and that big dispenser bottle. All echoing blue. What more can one need you say! Two pretty lanterns on either side I say! 



This is such a lovely outdoor spot. I'd love to be able to create one like this. The wooden bench,the hay, those lovely cushions & the many many gorgeous lanterns are making my heart go flutter flutter. I can see myself here many times in winters.Warm & Rustic.

June Fetish!

The lantern tutorial on the first day of the Go Green Series (see here) made me fall in love with lanterns this month. Infact I have this pretty lantern I was gifted by a friend when I moved from Bangalore  5 years back. It was a farewell gift. Time does fly..huh! I have been thinking of repainting it in a really bright color. Hmm...I have a feeling the June Fetish posts will help me get there...soon.



I love how the jar has been used here as well. The bright orange of the candle, the warm yellow glow & the engraved text of the jar.


I am liking all the purple pops here, the rug, the stole, those gorgeous shoes & ofcourse the pretty lantern. These look so awesome against all the white & the wood. Don't they?
