Some of you may have already heard, but Stampotique Originals has got some fabulous new designs being released today. Wait until you see these!!!

We know we say that every time, but each release seems to come with such great new stamps it's hard not to find a favorite with each new release. We've been bursting at the seams to share these with you.

This month, we also are introducing a brand new artist. Her name is Linda Peterson and we think a lot of you are going to love her line of stamps, they are darling.

So hop along with the design team and some special guests to see the new stamps the team has been working with. The more blogs you comment on, the better your chances of winning some goodies are.

Quirky In Paris, With a Capital Q

Posted by Beny_Ehmm on at 1:49 AM | 0 comments

If ever there was a home that reflects the personalities of its residents then it's this one. Located in Paris this home is choc full of quirky and clever displays that don't jar. I especially love the toy cars on the wall in the nursery (bottom image). Found at Milk Magazine.

If I were a silversmith I would want to create not only these amazing plates with a ghostly looking forks but the table linens to accompany them. Truly stunning work by Victoria Delany. I am in awe!

Kaz is our hostess this week for our next challenge and here is what she wants you to get creative doing:

"I love using circles on things I make, as you may have noticed. If I get stuck for an idea, I generally start with a circle to help me out. I'd like you to use 3 circles on whatever you make this week. Just make sure you have fun!"

Elena Dawson - Why So Secretive?

Elena Dawson is a London born fashion designer for both men and women. In her words - “I don’t like to overplan a collection and prefer it to remain at the idea stage. I don’t want to explain it to myself, to be too self-conscious of what I make when I’m making it” whatever her plans the results and other worldly, timeless and really do appeal to my eclectic taste.

However it is quite hard to find out much about this designer as her website has a link to her email and her blog which has loads of images of her designs. Elusive!!!

Yay To Yaya

Posted by Beny_Ehmm on at 3:54 AM | 0 comments

I have been absent from my blog for over a week now and not been posting as often as I used to. Life just takes over sometimes. My son is opening a new concept store in Newcastle very soon and I have been getting some Ghost Furniture pieces ready for that.

Health wise things are not 100% for my partner but we are struggling through.

Life can sometimes be a bitch so when you find a feel good film like this one from Yaya a new concept store in Holland it sort of gives you hope and puts things into perspective.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
