The-Deer-And-The-Jennywren

The name of my blog derives from my Etsy shop of which I have huge ambition for to be a success. It may not seem it now, due to ill health, but I have so, so many ideas and half completed projects that have yet to see the light of day within my little shop. I hope to have some of them completed and ready for you to purchase in the near future. These pieces are created to showcase what I, myself, depict as ideals of beauty and I hope that you are able to see it too. From black and white silhouettes to ditsy floral antique coloured pieces to intricate Victorian inspired designs: I will create it all. Here are some of the things currently for sale in the shop & some that I've sold in the past.

It's All In The Details

I've been feeling a little bit experimental recently. Usually my style consists of wearing some form of dress, most notably of the patterned tea dress variety, with black tights and a long cardigan. I love the comfort and ease of this, but lately I've been adding a little more colour.

Tights: Primark, Dress: Primark, Cardigan: Primark, Leather jacket: Bershka, Brooch: Gift I love this gem of a dress. It was only £7 and is of a lovely lightweight fabric which will be perfect for summer days. Akin to this, it is slightly longer at the back, shorter at the front but being the perfect length to parade my milk bottle legs. I've had the cardigan for ages and ages just sitting in my wardrobe feeling somewhat unloved. I have no idea why it isn't a staple. For one, it actually fits nicely and secondly how gorgeous are the details?! Beautiful little gold rose buttons atop a bias binded edging to give more structure and support. It's so soft and very well made. It is however too cold to get the legs out and I'm not sure the world is ready to be blinded by my paleness just yet so I added my marl grey tights. Lovely.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

...These are a few of my favourite things!
Today I thought I would share with you some of the Etsy things that I am salivating over. As you can see there is an apparent theme, but more so these are the kind of things that I adore and obsess over. Black and white, stark but embellished, deers, trees and birds... These things definitely make me tick and are what I embody myself to be... If that even makes sense?   How stunning are these cushions!? They are absolute perfection. VERY me.   I MUST HAVE THESE LEGGINGS! Oh <3   And this skirt from the same seller is also a beauty!   We live in a rented house and I've always wanted decals, but these are silhouettes of trees are just YUM! Yes please!   I was actually going to buy these for a friend who has mutual tastes (she's a keeper and my fave shopping buddy) but they were a bit out of my price range. They are beauts though. I couldn't not include this woodland themed washi tape. So cute!  and last but not least... I have a MASSIVE collection of necklaces that I'm unable to wear as anything remotely touching my neck irritates my eczema, but that doesn't stop me from hoarding them! This one is lovely and I know that Fable & Fury's jewellery is of a very high standard :) I'm actually wearing one of their creations in my profile image!
Do you like my finds? Have you seen anything similar lately? I'd love to know :)

Full Moon

The day has arrived... the internet is finally here :D

Here is a picture of me from Saturday. I haven't ever dared wear this body con dress out without having a skirt over the top to hide a multitude of sins, yet since losing weight I've regained some confidence. 

Can't believe Xmas is just over 2 weeks away, where has the year gone?!
