happy new year! this etsy round up started as a tea towel wall calendar collection, but there were just so many great tea towels i couldn’t narrow it down. my grandma had quite a number of groovy tea towels in her kitchen but these are perhaps some of the grooviest i’ve seen. dig that unicorn+thistles!

i was going to do a christmas themed round up but as my son says so well, “meh”. i wasn’t feeling inspired. so this is for those of you in blizzards, and those of you in gray and rainy melbourne, australia: a BRIGHT selection!

the weather here is pure unadulterated madness. its cold and bucketing with rain and i read a news item the other day suggesting the mountain regions of my state might get SNOW on christmas day. i’m no lover of summer but if i don’t get some vitamin D soon i’m going on a very lethargic rampage.

check back here in march when i’m bitching about it being 45C/113F.

i used to go crazy for this kinda stuff as a child. if it was small, cheap and rubbish i was all over it. even now as an adult who should know better i’m having a hard time now spending all my pocket money on shell charms and silly stickers.

some of these items are really worth a closer look, the silly stickers include one that says “your girdle is on backwards!” which i’m sure was hilarious at the time. the plastic cereal charms include copyright dodging respellings such as “corn PCP’s” and “honey smaokes” mm-mmm! a great way to start your day!

so were you a lucky-dip and dollar-store fiend as a child too? my local toy store would do lucky dip type things that were little erasers etc wrapped up into a ball of streamers. the anticipation alone was worth the $1 they cost.

anyway, today’s as seen on etsy post is dedicated to the resurgence in the circus trend. circus or carnival themed items have always been popular and it seems like they are back big time at the moment! everywhere i look people are throwing circus themed parties and decorating circus rooms and so on. so here i am, clambering aboard this bandwagon (or circus train) and showing you some cute finds, inspired by my own circus card design available in my etsy store!

i know i just did an ‘as seen on etsy’ last week, but i really have fun doing them. its window shopping on the interwebs! do you guys enjoy seeing what i put together too or is this just me indulging myself? i try and stay restrained and keep it monthly, but they’re just so fun to do and i’ve been sick lately (hence the lack of 7by7 last week: i figured no one wants to see photos of my epic pile of tissues or how many packets of decongestant i’ve consumed) so i’ve had time to lie around browsing etsy. i might even do another next week.

consider yourself warned!

toadstool towel ‘dude’ typeface mug crewel wall hanging


with halloween just passed i’ve got orange and browns on the brain. is it the mellow colors of autumn or have i just seen too much pumpkin and chocolate? either way etsy has a dearth of vintage treasures in those rusty tones.


autumn colors remind me of my mum. she had beautiful red hair and green eyes. do you remember when there was that trend of ‘getting your colors done’? you would be assigned a season based on skin, hair and eye color. unsurprisingly mum was told she was an ‘autumn’ and her reference was a booklet of business card sized fabric swatches of colors that would suit her. i spent a lot of time playing with the swatches, in waiting rooms, restaurants, queues, and so i have a fond attraction to those colors…and also a fond attraction for pinking sheared scraps of fabric!


how cute is that patchwork canister. eek! patchwork: swoon!

travel has been on my mind a lot recently, what with going back and forth to see my dad as well as planning an epic californian adventure in january (more on that soon!) so its not surprising that my addiction to etsy vintage “window shopping” reflects all this jet-setting i’ve been doing.

while standing by the luggage carousel scouring the parade of black cases for my specially marked black case, i started thinking about all the amazing luggage from the 60s and 70s. sure they had their fair share of plain colored cases, but where are the retina-burning floral options these days? on etsy, it would seem!

collected below are just a selection of the groovy gear you could be chucking your bikini and flip-flops into. click the corresponding links below to see the listings:
and you know who else likes a cute vintage jet set chic? my blog crush: the lovely alex at strawberry lemonade! she’s written some amazing posts on vintage travel style and the samsonite fashionaire (pictured in the middle, up there).

I make no apologies about my mug addiction. i relish my monthly etsy trawl for cute little mugs to add to my already crammed kitchen cupboard. i think the greatest irony is, i’m not even the big coffee/tea drinker in this house! but lovely Boyfriend is such an enabler, and before i know it there’s another box arriving and the kitchen is full of packing peanuts once again. oops. so please, do me a favor – buy these mugs, so i can’t!
