A Farmers Daughter at Woodpapersilk = bliss ...

Have you driven past a place for years and wondered what was inside?

Then someone who knows someone tells you it's a gallery...

someone else tells you they know someone who buys there all the time.

Then you hear a designer you adore has jewellery there ...

that's been my woodpapersilk experience ...
until today.

The Diva and I found a wonderland ... 
 gorgeous felt silk shawls, wraps and scarves made by the owner.

Jewellery, ceramics, art and more by various artists ...
 entranced us at woodpapersilk

The intention of being restrained ...

went right out the door with A Farmers Daughter's jewellery ...

you had to be there to see me like a big kid ...
after I spied this tiny, antique, vesta tin, beauty ...

it's mine ...
and loving it!

A Farmers Daughter, Alicia, has a tiny shop in Windsor too see more here.

A Farmers Daughter & Vintage Fair splurge = happy, happy, happy Bliss ...

The gorgeous Alicia a gives new meaning to recycled "jewellery by a farmers daughter" as she produces wearable art, each with its own history ...

look at what's now mine ...

I'll add more chain to the Studs box ...
