i'm too lucky. look at this collection of beauties i've just received from the lovely emily over at lost in the forest. i have been coveting this stunning embroidered brooch for a while now, so when it was slipped into the package with the pretty purse and brooch shown below i was over the moon! isn't the detail of the stitching just beautiful?
even the packaging had elegant little touches with hearts cut out from vintage book pages. you can see emily's beautiful collection of handmade delights over at her etsy shop....full of lace and sweet keepsake lockets.
so, i'm off to australia tomorrow! things may be a bit quieter round here for the next couple of weeks but i'll try to drop by with some pics. this blogpost title is a bit misleading and i have no intentions of visiting the wizard of oz but we do intend on seeing the blue mountains, sydney, dorrigo national park, byron bay and brisbane among other lovely places. can't wait to share the pics with you all!
speak soon xx

enchanted by the lovelies you received from 'lost in the forest' and excited to see more of their creations!
