White goods...

It was my friends birthday last week, so of course that meant present shopping. Lately, I've been going to the same place to get my presents. Lenko boutique, Cathedral Arcade in Melbourne. It's full of fashion - clothes, jewels and nik naks, and stocks some lovely things. I love little jewels - I mean laser cut, handmade and sometimes hand-painted brooches and necklaces, earrings and rings. I like to call them wearables. I even bought some knuckle ducklings last week, by Sniffle Co for myself.

They are my favourite. So big, but super cute!

So I bought my friend this brooch. It's a lion, and I bought it because she loves pom poms, and he's got one on his hat. Well of course I had to look up the designers - Made by White - and wow, I think these lovely ladies have my dream job. I would love to design cute illustrations all day and then make them into wearables. In fact, I'm pretty sure I will. I was so encouraged by the things these two ladies are doing. I really hope they come down to Melbourne for the Finders Keepers market in October - I'd just love to meet them and tell them how talented they are. You should check them out for yourself here, and maybe buy something from them. Their products are so cute and unique, and most definitely affordable.
