Here are some things that made me smile this week. Try not to faint in shock that I've actually managed to post a 'Smiling Sunday' on a Sunday :)
I have featured and linked some designers'/ bloggers' websites in this post. I would just like to reiterate that as always, my opinions are my own and I have not been asked or sponsored to feature these, nor am I in anyway affiliated with these designers/bloggers. I just happen to like their designs/websites!!
1. This colourful world map fabric. Spotted this for £9.99 per metre in the Lanes, Brighton. Have plans to make this into a skirt or a dress. It reminds me of the 'Miss World' range in which Truly Sopel has incorporated her
dress and
sleep set designs. I first saw her design on an old Sindy doll, as she collaborated with
Jolly Dolly Shop. It caught my eye as my sisters and I had old Sindys when we were little! See below for a photo collage of her Miss World range and Check out her website
Trulyknickers.
2. As I mentioned
Jolly Dolly Shop, it occurred to me that although I loved their designs when I saw them on a stall, I've never looked at their online collection. It has to be said that there's a fair amount of nostalgic fondness when I see old Sindys but how freaking cute are the clothes and camping gear?!! I wish I was a child again :)
3. These cute card and print designs by
Lola Hoad Design, I really like the looped handwriting and simple design. I desperately want one of the framed expressions/quotes but I've started with a little card for now! All of the designs are printed on 100% recycled paper.
You can check out her online shop
here.
Here are some more of her designs framed. Photos below are via
Lola Hoa Design.

4. This 99 problems beach bag. Saw it in Rose Hill Boutique in Brighton about a month ago and had a little giggle. You've got to love a canvas tote bag with a pun! You can also buy it online from
Not On The High Street for £20.
4. This fox design fabric by
Jen Moules Textile Design. You may remember I featured Jen's watercolour goldfish wallpaper designs some time ago on my blog. This week I was delighted to discover that she now has fabric available on
Etsy! Am gonna have to get me some fox fabric, I can't resist...
5. This outfit post by
Mermaidens. I discovered her blog this week and I love the retro-style swimsuit and the doughnut rubber ring :)

6. This driftwood mirror with a shelf for candles. Have been hunting lately for reclaimed timber/driftwood mirrors/something like this (but more affordable!) to go in my room. |
8. These hand-painted galaxy Converse by
Emily Tam. I would definitely wear these with some white laces.
What's been making you smile lately?
