Pardon me, but I love your brooch!

Mar 22 2010 | 18 Comments | Uncategorized

Whenever I step foot in a craft market, (which isn’t as often as I would like it to be) I am always amazed! It is a world of inspiration! Sometimes I see things and think. ‘ How on earth did you ever think to make something so creative!’ It astounds me the amount of talent that come together at craft markets. On the weekend I went to see my big sisters  little store at a craft market in Melbourne and I came across these cute little badges.
being        pardon          stranger
I have recently just started learning embroidery and am now intrigued by anything embroidered, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to come across these! There made by a lady named Lauren who sells these beautiful creations here.  And  you can also see her work here at okt-ober-dee!  If your wondering where the name okt-ober-dee comes from like I was when I first read it, here it is: 
“I am often asked where the name okt-ober dee stems from, my birthday is in October, and Dee is short for design.  Sweet, Simple.” 
There unique and you can even choose what word you would like on your original brooch : )
I. love. it . 

Hope you had a wonderful Monday!

    I do the same thing..get inspired at craft shows. Always amazed when I see new things and think, “how the hell did they come up with that? And why didn’t I come up with it first!” LOL
