Pony Anarchy

If you're not familiar with the Pony Anarchy, then you should be now! They are an online magazine, based out of Melbourne Australia and a DARLING one at that. They feature everything from fashion, to art, to photography...anything and everything art related. The whole aesthetics of the publication is just darling, darling to the max.

I was just flattered to see that I was their featured artist! So excited to see my work and a very accurate description along with it:)

Follow them on facebook and twitter for some amazing info!!

Gladys!

So I am basically opening up my dream in about 1 week. If you're curious as to what tea with gladys is all about you can visit teawithgladys.com.

Biz cards came in this week. Window vinyl went up. I also stayed up until 1am sewing bunting banners. It's all coming together:)

Tapestry & Ties

My goodness! I have been SO busy it's unreal! My days have been filled with painting walls & furniture, living in ikea and searching the web for adorable things to sell! tea with gladys is coming along nicely and I should be open in less than two weeks!!

On another note I managed to find some down time to do a little online shopping. I took advantage of Modcloth's 70% off cabin fever sale and scored some amazing pieces as usual!

This is the Through the Arras Dress! I AM IN LOVE. It is such a great feeling to see a dress online and  say " that looks like it would be a great fit..." and then you receive it and it fits like a glove!  It is excellent quality, has a zipper, snap buttons and a clasp. Talk about feeling snuggly and secure. I paired it with my thrifted suede buckled heels and one of my favorite accessories, my mint lady tie!

I also bought these vintage cat eye glasses ( putting my own perscription in) from a darling little store called Petite et Jolis.

It feels so nice to put real clothes on again. Most days I am stuck in paint covered leggings and old t-shirts. i dream of warmer, dress filled days:)
