Made it onto the Weekend Deal Gift Guide...

I'm so happy I made it on to the Weekend Discount Deals Gift Guide on Etsy! Such a concidence that my friend Ayca, whose felt flower I blogged about on the next post down made it onto the same page! Here we are on this link and on the screenshot below (sorry about the rubbish writing! I had to write it with my mouse at work instead of my tablet pen at home)...

Hat boxes and luggage tags!

I just adore the old-fashioned practicality of luggage tags, brown paper, string and hat boxes! Any item I sell on Etsy will be wrapped up in cushiony tissue paper, placed in a hat box like the blue one below and tied up with brown paper and string with my special 'AuroraRose' stamped luggage tag to remind you who you bought from. I have just decided to include this picture on all my Etsy listings. What does everyone think? Would it help to make you buy an item from my shop? Any feedback would be welcome!

The Honey Trap...

I came across this beautiful shop yesterday on Etsy called The Honeycomb. I just love these beautiful hair pieces which are so much more than mere accessories... they remind me of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Away with the fairies!

My life... my inspiration... my blog...

I'm hoping to capture a little of what makes me tick inspiration-wise... it might even help my creative process a little! I'm going to treat this blog like one of my sketchbooks or the inspiration wall I keep in my bedroom at home! All the things that please me or give me ideas no matter how small will be included from films to books, exhibitions to pictures I have snapped while going through life.

I will also be posting news of special offers, discounts, competitions and that kind of thing for my Etsy shop customers to keep your eyes peeled for those... coming up soon! In fact, what the hell, anyone who buys in anything from my shop until the 31st August, mentioning this special blog offer will get free shipping!
