'Sally In the Woods'a new wrist cuff ready for listing tonight; hand-dyed crochet scraps, vintage sequin-sprinkled netting, custom-dyed eyelet lace trim, Victorian medieval style button, vintage embellishments, 1930s coat lining.
The costumes of A Series of Unfortunate Events (I love the production design in this entire movie- oh to live at Olaf's mansion!)
'Savoy' by Langley
'Shady Lane' by Midwinter1970s-1980s farmhouse kitchen style. None of the gingham and raffia, all of the iron and stone. I especially love the second plate with the cow parsley; silhouettes of trees and dried grasses are really getting to me lately- I can't shake the feeling and nor do I want to, there's something comforting in it that echoes my early childhood.
One more thing- a new discovery- Locationworks.com They have the most amazing online database of house available for filming, the rustic/ruined/abandoned locations are absolutely breath-taking.
One house I have fallen in love with I have dubbed Greenhall Manor.
I love looking at this site (and haven't finished exploring it by half) but I must admit I cannot drift around it for too long without my heart breaking at these gorgeous old houses going to wreck and ruin. I know they cost a king's ransom to heat (though a few solar panels on the roof would solve that!) and upkeep- I just hope whoever owns them is using the location fees to ensure that the house never actually crumbles, despite it looking so. That would be my perfect house.

I loved that front page treasury, too!
This Location Works site looks fascinating!
Thanks for sharing the Etsy page....I absolutely love that kind of photography.
I've been reading your blog for a month or so, and wanted to thank you for all of the inspiring images you post; your design aesthetics touch a common thread that runs through my blood, as I appreciate so much the modern applications of vintage details of the past. I especially enjoyed the results of your recent fabric dying endeavors...your photos are absolutely beautiful!
Best of luck with your new living environment!
The front page of etsy looks incredible. I love it.
I adore rust too - oh the lovely patina. I also love your name "Little Brow Sparrow" - I've had two pet sparrows - the best pets ever!
Thanks for the Etsy capture and the link to Location Works. Great visual inspiration.
