"i can be your daddy, be your rock and roller"

heyz.

i thought i would share with you a post about a lovely necklace i bought very recently from 'scarlett hearts', who are based very locally in newastle :)

i had wanted one of these quirky necklaces for ages, and when i saw this one for only £4! i had to have it. [i also used a discount code, which i got from twitter, meaning it worked out cheaper] i usually wear silver but do have a few gold coloured bits and thought the gold looked more vintage, so i opted for that version.

heres the image as it is on the site...


and heres me wearing it... yey.


heres the link to the 'rock and roller' necklace in their bigcartel store...


and do also follow them on twitter... @scarlettheartsx

welcomeTOmyBOUDOIR...

...well, its hardly a boudoir, but i thought i would share some images of my room with you, after being inspired by a blog post by MessyCarla [here is the link to that very post... http://messycarla.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-room.html]

our house is, and has been getting 'modernised', meaning all the walls have to be repainted etc and all that jazz, so my room will look a bit diffrent soon. the time is now... my room in general was a bit childish, but i liked it that way and still do. but, im 26 now, so the walls at least can look a bit more 'grown up'. heh.

heres a lovely image of one of my walls. they will all probably be put right back up there in the same place/s once all the redecorating is done. that charming print is by 'gorjuss'.


heres my computer desk. that print is from Cute Creations.


this is my 'back wall' here, you can see some of my shelves filled with stuffs and the 'kerrang' cutouts behind [those BMTH stickers are there to cover some shoddily applied foam stickers etc. bah]


this is a corner of my room. i like it. hello kitty is there and above her is/was brody dalle aka mrs josh homme. awesome


thats all now. hope u liked my old room. i shall blog pics of the new and improved redecorated room in like, a month. meh

junk in my trunk!?

noo, its 'junk trunk', silly.

i bought a tee from the lovely folk/s at junk trunk during the sale, and got it for £5, awesome.

heres the design, as it is on the website...


 you can find it here, at its normal price of £10. you snooze, you lose... http://junktrunkclothing.bigcartel.com/product/barcode

ive always liked the design of this tee, its so cute and bright, and i LOVES it.

heres me wearing it. joyus.


go shop at http://junktrunkclothing.bigcartel.com/ for some super cute and comfy stuff...

♥liebe das junk trunk♥

comics, comics, who wants comics...!?

hello.

here are some comics that id like to get rid of somehow...

the first one is a 'Viz' comic and is a special 'green' issue, printed on recycled paper and that. its been in a box with other comics and is therefore in really good condition, no noticable marks/stains/rips etc. its from 1990 i believe and ive seen it sell for around £6 but ill take, like, £4 including p&p if anyone wants it, or make me an offer. payment via paypal pleeeease :)


and heres a box full of '2000 AD' comics, which weighs 5kg! wow. posting it to anywhere in the uk would cost between £10-£12 which is a lot, but if youre local [north east england and the surronding areas,if you drive/can be driven] you can come and pick em up from my house or whatever! also, if youd like just one comic, ill pop one in the post for u, if youre very very nice to me :) [these comics are great for collaging bits and bobs, see my last post for images of some wooden storage boxes i covered with some of em]


finally, its this... 'the ballad of halo jones: book one' and its by that famous comic fella 'alan moore' [u can tell i know nothing about comics at all] the cover is a bit tatty but i believe the inside pages are perfect! make me an offer for it, go on!


thats it now, im all comic-ed out.

comic-al.

hellooo...

here are some images of a wooden box i have covered with old [90's i think] 'judge dredd' comics. i think it looks good. it belongs to a set of 3 stackable wooden boxes, the last 2 of which i will do 2moro, maybe. these pics are from when it was still a bit wet, and i have since applied a further coat of non-diluted pva glue. woo.

here goes. . .






thats it.

i love her jewellery, some of the rings are really beautiful, and theyre so quirky.

heres are some of those glorious rings... that music note one in the middle is my personal favourite! i LOVE it!




if youre lucky enough to be going to the glastonbury festival this year, you might see LoveJo Vintage goodies being sold in a 1950s double decker bus. how good is that...

le vintage...

ive made 2 new things as part of my 'Victoriana' collection...

the first one i made is called "Gemima" and was made using a vintage watch case my brother gave me [hes well into watches!] encased within that is a vintage-inspired image, 2 pearl beads and a pink Gem. its on a silver-tone vintage chain too! i really like it.



the second is called "countryGaRden" and was made using a HUGE vintage floral frame pendant, on an antiqued-bronze coloured chain. it also features a little leaf charm too and i think its rather quaint. lol.



hope u like em, do comment if u wish...

all publicity is good publicity..?

hello.

well... heres the story...

i asked someone on twitter [not mentioning any names] to do a review about my LOVELY jewellery shop over at bigcartel.

id seen a review she had done about another jewellery site, so i tweeted her to tell her about my shop in the hope that shed do a review about it. she tweeted back to say she would and would let me know when it was up.

she did let me know when it was up and i read it and got a bit upset. it was kind of a 'bad' review. i dont get why she would agree to review my site for me if she didnt like it. i only review or show products or shops that i really like, so i was dissapointed. and tweeted her to tell her this.

here are some snippets from the bad-review-ness...

"a few faults in the site which make it appear more amateur"

"lacks depth in the overall site"

"Plastic is used in excess "

this bit here really 'got my goat'... "disappointing thing about Clare’s little business is that she seems to have just stuck things on a chain and nothing has been “hand made” more like “hand stuck”

i REALLY think this is unfair, as i really try not to use too much of what other people are using with regards to charms/pendants etc. and then she goes on to say that the site is unfinished! its not unnfinished! its just how i like it!

two of the pictures she used feature 2 main pendants i KNOW no-one else has made in that particular way! how can she say theyre just hand-stuck! the cassette image in particular was stamped by me, then coloured, then glittered, so its totally hand made! it really annoyed me!

it will defo make me a lot more careful when asking people for reviews etc. do let me know what yah think tho, good or bad. i can take it!

hmmm.

thats all thanx for reading my rant. fuck!
