Blogs I like to read
Crafting a green world
I swear I learn something new from this blog all the time. There’s no need to craft any other way than eco these days.
Meet Me at Mikes
I love this blog! Everything about it appeals to me. The love of granny squares, the 70s vibe, Pip’s lovely writing style, everything. Check out the book too!
Modish
Man, I admire this lady. Jena has made an artform out of blogging about crafts and indie design.
Indie Fixx
Something new and beautiful to see everyday

This lady knows her vintage and shares it here on her fashion blog.

Roisin Murphy
Just get to know Roisin’s style and music and you’ll know what I mean.
Frida Kahlo
Beautiful art and an inspirational woman.
Bambi
No, not the baby deer! This gem of a vintage shop puts me in another world. Shame they haven’t got a website yet but you can find Bambi on qype.
The Good Life
Yes, I know this is silly but what a lovely world Tom and Barbara Good live in. I always wanted the lifestyle of the Good’s and Margot’s wardrobe.
Charity Shops
There’s a whole world of possibilities in these places and if you put your hand in your pocket your money is going somewhere useful too.
Of course there are millions more links that could go here, but this space is reserved for the extra special ones.
