A few more gorgeous pieces from source Dazed Dorothy

Early in January, a wee surprise arrived in the post for me; all the way from Glesga. My BFF Fi is always sending me the cutest gifts, you can check out some more over here. A love of accessories is something we both share and I adore that Fi always sends me great Scottish finds. This windmill brooch is just stunning, gorgeous vintage button, all the way from Dunoon, Scotland. 

The brooch is by a Glaswegian Textile Designer Corinne Robinson aka Dazed Dorothy. Dazed Dorothy is a collection of one off pieces, using leathers, fabrics, vintage buttons, embellishments and trimmings, sourced from all over the world. Check out her Etsy site over here.

Parcel from best bud Fi

There is nothing better than a present sent from home from my best bud in the whole wide world Fi. I regret not taking a photo of the beautiful and creative wrapping that these little gems were perfectly housed in. She gets me and I get her, like two peas in a pod our tastes are so similar, even though we live on opposite sides of the planet. We met in high school and have gone through so must together, the distance has only brought us closer.

In October, I will be meeting up with Fi and a bunch of old friends for a chicks holiday in New York, to say I'm excited is an understatement but most of all I am looking forward to seeing my best bud, I love and miss her so much, she is the best.
