Illuminated, Moving Waterfall Art

/
A classic you might remember hanging on the wall of Corrie's Vera Duckworth's abode, the light-up waterfall picture.

I don't have one of these myself, yet, I was quite excited to see a selection online with optional tinkly stream noise & date and time features!

I've also included an image of one of these majestic artworks in situ; the Winnie the Pooh ornaments are an added visual delight.

Flying Duck Wall Ornament in Brooch Design

/
I found a superb designer on eBay who's felt brooches are a pleasant change from the usual 'kitsch' jewellery results of Lego men & plastic disasters.

Kaela's designs are cute & perfect for autumn, felt foxes and sewn seagulls will look great on your winter coat lapel.

I've bought a brooch modelled on the traditional flying duck sets you'd find on any 1970's family's wall.

You can check out Kaela's other designs on here site here:

Golden String Art, DIY Kitsch

/
Had my eyes open for one of these in a charity shop for a while, but haven't managed to find one.

Maybe your Granny had one of these artworks. Mine did, funnily enough of a boat, which seem to be the main focus of these woven wonders.

Whilst ebaying I found a children's kit for making your own thread art. I'm thinking of making string cactii, stag's heads & maybe even a Jesus.

Inanimate Objects Gentlemanified

I do enjoy a bit of anthropomorphism in the morning.

I've posted my moustachioed plant pots before, but as I am housebound this week following a surprise overnight stay in hospital at the weekend, I'm not able to get to my usual charity shops & boot sales to find treasures.

I like my blog to showcase things I've either seen in real life, or preferably own in my home; so forgive me if this week the posts are of screenshots of horrors taken from eBay!
I'm sure I can find you some entertaining disgustingness on there until I'm back out and about scouting for tack.
