🌼 Hello friends :) 🌼

Here's another outfit with my handmade mustard yellow stays, styled with thrifted cotton lace dress, Aran cardigan and a long-tailed tit plush :") These colours remind me of the white and yellow daffodils you get around this time of year 🌱

It's an indoors kind of day so I'll be watching something cozy with my cuddly bird and a cup of tea 🕊️ ☕ take care out there 💛

🌺 Hello friends 🌺

There's no outfit that can't be improved with a tiny plushie - here's a co-ord with my birthday dress from 2024 and a tiny friend 😺

🐤🐦 yellow and blue 🐦🐤

Please enjoy this unintentional madeline cosplay featuring my newest make 🐤

I found 3m of golden yellow linen in a charity shop and decided luck was smiling on me, so I patterned out this ruched bodice with cap sleeves. This dress makes me feel like sunshine :) I finished it early so I can wear it on my birthday!

Handmade yellow linen dress styled with thrifted items - vintage straw hat, second hand blue leather satchel, and second hand blue brogues.

🍂🍇hello friends 🍇🍂

An autumnal ootd with this nice linen dress - I altered the neckline to suit me better and added a cute velvet ribbon tie!

Everything but the flowers are thrifted - the dress is pre owned from ebay, the shoes, bag, chain, pendant and tiny gold bracelet are all from local charity shops.

I'm especially pleased with my chain and phaistos disc pendant- found in different places at different times, but both have real gold! Should I do a post of my thrifted jewellery treasures?

Saw pink gingham tablecloth for a fiver, you can extrapolate from there (:

This piece isnt my usual colour, but it goes so nice with green and tan I feel like she deserves some space in my closet.

🐸 this delightful little jumper frog is from BrownRabbitCrafts on Etsy, I love him very much 😭💖

🌸 pink gingham sundress - sundress self draft bodice plus circle skirt styled with thrifted boden cardigan, sunhat, woven bag and compass necklace.

Please your honour, I had no idea I was making the Barbie dress, it was September 2022 and I made it because I got a pink gingham tablecloth for £5
