Awesome Things: Volume 1

I decided to throw the Mary Poppins Picks out the window. Some people didn't really understand the reference (because some people aren't as altogether obsessed with the practically perfect nanny as I am), so I'm continuing the series (a collection of wondrous items that look nice together) under a new name - Awesome Things. So original, right? Ha. But.... accurately described.

Above -

• dress from Brown Bag Vintage
• Ein Magazin at MR KITLY
• purse by Caitlin Hinshelwood
• tote by Marcus Walters

Lovely Finds - Shelter

Superbly great bags from Shelter.

I discovered Shelter ages & ages ago at Poppy & Leo, but I'm just getting around to posting about them now.

Lovely Finds - Artemis Leatherware

I discovered Artemis Leatherware yesterday during a random roam through someone's favorites on Etsy and I was shocked I'd never seen such a beautiful shop before.

"Surely people have blogged this shop to death & I somehow didn't see any of these posts in spite of the fact that I subscribe to hundreds of blogs!"

Googled it. Rachel blogged about the shop back in April & apparently I wasn't in the gorgeous-leather-goods mood at that point in time & didn't take note. Note is now taken.

LOOK - Pretty Patchwork Flowers

I love these patchwork flowers by Ratzer that I found at Fine Little Day. If I knew how to make these, I'd have them strewn everywhere. In stacks.

• I seriously would like to only wear gowns. Constantly.

• This looks like a lovely children's book.
• and a marvelous-marvelous necklace.

Also - I've posted about Polli before & I endlessly love the jewelry there, so I feel like it's appropriate to tell you that they're having a huge sale starting today. 70% off. Insane. Insanely.... awesome.
