Since I will be closing my Etsy shop temporarily at the end of August (not sure for how long yet, maybe a couple weeks or even a couple months) I am having a bit of a clearance sale and offering 25% off everything.
Just use the coupon code 25SMILE when you checkout to receive your discount! Click here to go to my shop page, or click the wolfie picture on the right.

When my shop reopens, I will not be adding any new sewn items for at least a year, so what is in the shop now is the last of my stock!

A couple weekends ago I got a parcel containing the latest additions to my little vintage Japanese colouring book collection! I think vintage nurie, make for charming retro wall art and I have most of mine framed for display.

Some of these are from Kawaii Shop Japan and a couple are from Yahoo Japan Auctions.

In the parcel I also received some lovely old paper dolls…

My favourite is the lady set, with her colourful kimono. I will have that one hanging on my wall once I get another frame!

I do have some extras of these paper dolls, and a few of the colouring books (shown below). My sister has a vintage shop on Etsy so I’ve given them to her to put up for sale. Visit her shop here if you’re interested!

I’ve made an entry for this week’s ice cream-themed contest over at Spoonflower – The Neapolitan Sisters! If you like it you can vote for it by clicking here.
