Yikes! Talk about cutting it fine! But, the month is not quite over...
Orange is so bright and happy and fun, I find it hard to resist. But although I adore orange, I wasn't sure how much of it I'd find about the place, so I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and variety of this collection.
There's a gorgeous silk clutch from Pikula bags; a lion card from Shanghai Tang; books (including a lush volume about Joy Division and a funny little flip book); lego legs; a Wade goldfish figurine; some of my favourite spotty fabric; a little birdy felt brooch I made about a year ago; lollies, feathers, a butter dish and a toy car.
Considering how tardy I've been with my collection I'll leave the linky open for a few extra weeks, so please join in (even if it's September!).

Love your collection Emily! At first I thought the little round orange things were burger rings…! ;)
ReplyDeleteAfter doing mine I wondered why I didn't have any of the orange penguin classics to include. I guess that's a bit hipster though… Ha!
Oi, are you calling me a hipster?! How insulting (I think)... I have quite the collection of vintage penguins, I always buy the super old ones when I see them at the oppy, even if I have no idea what the book is!
Deleteps. No burger rings in Korea, I guess that's a good thing? (Lots of dried squid though, which is no such a good thing.)
Teehee! I think it's only the new release orange penguins that are considered hipster so you're safe. ;P
DeleteI thought they were burger rings as well!! I love these posts of yours and so impressed that you have a book about Joy Division. x
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma, I'm glad you like!
DeleteI hadn't noticed it but the fluffy hair ties do look an awful lot like burger rings! I bought the Joy Division book for my husband, he is a massive fan (and has been since he was a young (-er) man) - it's beautifully laid out, full of amazing b+w pics.
Welcome back Emily! Love your collection. I love how the different shades of oranges and the different sizes flow in your collection. We have one element in common this month, as we did last month, the adorable fishes ( only mine are alive!).
DeleteThat orange tiger card from Shanghai Tang! OMG want one :)! Those orange feathers are pretty too. Great collection!
ReplyDeleteEmily your collections always remind me of myself. No matter how hard I try to convey my "inner self" and "true artist" it never turns out. Then I view everyone else's work and I realize I see more of myself in those collections than my own. What does this mean?
ReplyDeleteI particularly like your mix of daily wear and creative tidbits like the string. Also, thanks for keeping the linky thing open. Cheers. =P
