coastal collages





Making collages with my favourite things.. driftwood, shells, vintage books, white flowers, crochet, sea glass and natural finds.


Getting ready for Christmas with a driftwood tree. The people from Bespoke magazine Australia are going to feature this in November, after seeing it on etsy this weekend (:



Sailing away with beach finds and recycled materials. I found the driftwood, sea glass and shells at the beach and the vintage button portholes are from my grandmother's button collection. The blue and white fabric is leftover from the Christmas stockings I made last year.

Have a great week!

    That little sail boat is the most adorable beach thing I have seen in ages. I'm going to visit your shop now.
