I am not entirely sure I can call this a haul as I only have two things to show you. But on the other hand I don't know how many items you need in order for a collection of items to classify as a haul.
I first discovered Viktorija from 'and smile studio' on Tumblr and immediately began to follow her and by that I mean stalk her on all available social media sites. How could anyone resist her illustrations they are just so sweet and charming. The other day whilst ogling at her illustrations I decided to order a couple of things from her shop ( I'm a little surprised it has taken me so long to order something from her.).
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the perfection of the packaging. I firstly decided on this sweet postcard for £1.50 it has everything I could ever ask from an illustration; teacup, teapots, flowers and of course a spotty dress. I doubt I will use it as a postcard I will most likely end up searching high and low for the perfect frame, let the mission begin. The second thing I ordered was this succulent necklace for £12.00. I don't have any jewellery remotely similar to this and I am definitely looking forward to wearing it.
Every time I see Viktorija's work I feel the need to rush to my studio, shove my unruly hair up in a bun and get drawing.
Oh how cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful parcel : ) Nothing beats shopping with handmade, small businesses. Every item is made with such love and enthusiasm for their medium, packaged with care and comes with all those unique touches you just can't find in a plain old regular high street store.
You picked some lovely pieces and I think I will be hunting down this designer maker too now!! : )
Hurray for handmade lovelies!!

I couldn't agree with you more :)
DeleteYou should, she has some beautiful pieces. I really had to restrain myself from buying everything.
