Welcome to another edition of Handmade Holidays! This set is dedicated to the romantic, the dreamer who lives among the clouds. Soft textures, feminine details, gauzy lace- all of these things are sure to delight the romantic!
1. Ballerina Pink Bow Belt– Umm, how adorably perfect is this belt?! *swoon*
2. Paris Necklace Eiffel Tower Charm– I would say that ‘romantic’ accurately describes Paris, the city of love!
3. Silk Scarf in Silver Grey– This silky scarf has such a lovely pattern.
4. The Collar Necklace– A delightful twist on the peter pan collar and this way you can add a collar to any outfit!
5. Quaint Romantic Floral Garden Dress– The sweetest floral print- I wish I had a garden party to wear this to.
6. Hunter Green Necklace White Vintage Lace– This necklace has a lovely vintage feel with the pretty lace set against a deep green background.
7. Burgundy Felt Flower Dahlia Brooch– This brooch is an easy way to give that special festive touch!
8. Dreamy Early Grey Chiffon Dress– A perfectly delicate and floaty chiffon dress.
I hope your enjoying these picks and that they’re getting your wheels turning for potential gifts this season! If you have any particular theme you like me to tackle for Handmade Holidays, just let me know in the comments below! :)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I see darlingtonia up there! I have ever adored those moccasins, but I’d probably destroy them in about two days. Sigh.
What pretty gift ideas! I want to get my sister a handmade necklace.

I looooove bow belts! so sweet and girly and cute.
I love how the dresses tuck in at the waist, I keep coming back and looking at them!
This sounds real dumb, but I guess I never knew it was possible to handmake a scarf like that. Whoa. Also, LOVE that dress!
