kindred spirits.

i love finding similarities in little things...especially when you make the connection ages after you have seen or even thought about the first item in the mix. to me, this solidifies that both have made a strong impression in the first place, if you are able to recall something that the second article you encounter down the track reminds you of. am i making sense?

this happens with me all the time and it gives me a little thrill. i noticed it recently in these two works; the first by my good friend and talented artist - Tiffany Wollman - and the second, a collection I stumbled upon by American artist - Cat Lauigan. do you see what i see?

both women have awesome websites as well: WO//MAN & cat.

i'm not a huge 'coveteur' of jewellery. well, that is to say that i don't spend much thought or money on pieces ever. though i do have quite a beautiful and eclectic collection of costume jewellery, you know- just for fun. most bits have been found in thrift stores, on holiday or have been handmade by my mom (the jewellery making mermaid queen; has been since birth). today however, i am feeling rather desirous of any of these quirky, yet stunning treasures by australian jewellery/object designer natalia milosz-piekarska. i can't even decide which i would love to save my pennies for most.


these are a bit raw & the colours are so gorgeous:

these cat eyes are in my top picks:

simple, powerful engagement rings & wedding band:

i like the circle cut out one the best:

i think if i *had* to pick a favourite it would be these delicate stackable rings. i love how organic they are.  they remind me of little bits of nature or under the sea life.

ummm...sushi jewels??! yes, yes, yes...these are deliciously ridiculous and fun! 

these below aren't really my style, but are still super cute! they totally remind me of something my talented artist friend tiffany wollman would paint or make. no?

all from natalia m.p

happy valentine's day!

here comes the cliched heart/lovey dovey post...and i like it. i hope you have a beautiful day with friends, family and lovers and that someone out there let's you know how special you are!
