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.

   

3 Deers Design

 

Cream and black birdy design

 

Pink and black birdy design available in a double and single

And some sold out designs:

 

"Tweet Dreams" birdy design

 

"Oh Little Bird" Ditsy floral cushion

And if you think that it's only cushions and pillow cases that I create then you are very much mistaken. I have a whole variety of beautiful and stunning home wares that are in the pipeline. So keep your eyes peeled for those! :)

Postage is currently cheap so get them now!

On The First Day Of Spring...

...I decided to do an outfit post! I needed to leave the house anyway to pick up a prescription so thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do one.

The first day of spring was also the day I decided to go out the house without a coat feeling mildly comfortable though since having drafted this post, the weather has obviously decided to turn yet again and the feelings of true spring won't be happening for ages yet! Boo!
But yesterday was a good day.... I made my first Etsy sale to a stranger :D absolutely over the moon! It's given me the kick up the arse that I needed to create some more goodies. So I've even completed the cover that I used as a DIY in my post from last week, which you can now see over in my Etsy shop.

I hope she likes it!

Happy days :)

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 :)

Starting Afresh

So I've made a change to my blog layout and I'm so happy with how it's turned out :D it's pretty perfect and is everything I wanted it to be to depict my individual style.

Today has been quite a lazy day other than asking the boyfriend to take a few outfit photos of me in our garden. I'm awkward as hell but I'm sure I'll get better with more practise!








Dress: Primark, £15
Tights: Primark: £2.50?

Blackboard: One of the many treasures in my Etsy shop. I'll be adding more through the weeks :)

Red Birds Escape From My Wounds And Return As Falling Snow

Hellooo :)

So how are we liking my new layout? I adore it! XD

I've been very, very busy recently whilst also being rather ill :( and in fact even though I had a welcome back at work today I can envision a trip to the hospital tomorrow as I think I may have gotten a rather nasty skin infection. Bloody brilliant timing with my birthday on Wednesday and going to Huddersfield on Tuesday for drinks and larks. Ugh. Stupid body :(

But yes, the new layout is to compliment the style of my Etsy shop which will be opening in due course, as soon as I take some product photos :)

I also graduated on Wednesday just gone. It was a beautiful day and there was lovely architecture, tea & cake, and later pizza... what more could one want?

I've also been purchasing bits and pieces (more Primark attire ;) ) and also a khaki coloured dress which I can't seem to find online, nor have a decent picture of so you'll just have to go without :p

And I've been getting my craft on XD by making a cork board message board. It is by no means perfect but I do love how it turned out <3

What do you think of my purchases and DIY? :)
