Ngaire’s Latest & Greatest (29 Aug)

Hi everyone…another week has flown by…and i have some really groovy stuff here I want to share with y’all…so lets go…!

1. I adore stamps…and love to collect them. (Might be good if i actually USED them more than i do…but that is another story dear reader..). These stamps are just the cutest things…i love how odd they are.

My favourites are escape from the toy box…Really TOO odd. Esp the rabbit.

2. Some very cool high def. fabric texture brushes here for the digi chicks among us.

I especially LOVE the vintage tea cups filled with lace and other ephemera. TOTALLY sweet and the perfect gift! I adore "Abbey" particularly…shame it is sold.
