Collected memories wall art mirror

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Unusual mirror art

Unusual mirror art

Is it a mirror, or is it wall art? Well, it could serve as both.

This unusual piece, called Collected Memories, is made up of a collection of random, vintage mirrors which have been put together to form a unique piece of wall art. No two mirrors are exactly the same and every piece is unique.

It’s a lovely use of old mirrors, bringing new life into pieces that may well have been long since discarded.

The Collected Memories wall art mirror is sold by Anthropologie, for the rather hefty price of £618.

If you happen to be feeling creative, or have a few old mirrors or picture frames lurking in your loft, then perhaps you could feel inspired to do something similar?

Remember this gorgeous haberdashery box?

It’s full of crafty bits and pieces for creating things in your home, liking adding sequins to cushions or ribbons to decorative ornaments. We liked it before, but we like it even more now that it’s been reduced in the Plumo sale.

Snap yours up before they all go!

Decorative mussel shell heart

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

Handmade mussel shell heart

Handmade mussel shell heart

Decorative heart motifs are very in vogue, especially where they’ve been produced using recycled or reclaimed materials (like this driftwood heart, for example).

In this instance, it’s mussel shells that have been utilised in a creative way and don’t they work well! The shells have lovely shades of indigo, blue and white and the way they’ve been put together brings with it a sense of movement and swirls within the heart shape.

Handmade in Devon, the mussel shell heart measures 22cm by 19cm. It can be purchased from Vintage Living for £18.99.

Plumo haberdashery box of delights

Dive into the Plumo haberdashery box

Plumo haberdashery box of delights

 

The new Autumn range at Plumo has just launched and, for crafters and sewing fans, this looks like a fabulous haberdashery box.

The box is covered with a floral courduroy material is divided into sections and comes filled with a delightful selection of crafting goodies.

These include sequins, beads, trims, buttons, threads, rosettes, pompoms, gingham hearts and cottons. Plus there are scissors, needles and safety pins supplied, so you’re all kitted out to get sewing and creating as soon as it arrives.

The description is a bit unclear about quite what the lid of the box is like (if anyone knows, we’d love more details), but it sounds like a real treasure trove of haberdashery goodies.

The haberdashery box and contents are available from Plumo for the grand sum of £45. Considering how much all the trims, buttons and beads can cost and add up when bought individually, this seems like a reasonable price.
