vintage whimsey x

spent a lovely couple of hours yesterday browsing through etsy, spoilt for choice as to what i should include in a little treasury....having worked out that the total cost of my 'whimsey' would be, oh a little over £500, unfortunately they will just have to continue to be just that, but a girl can wish....

"in a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by,

Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream - Lingering in the golden gleam - Life, what is it but a dream?"

{lewis carroll, through the looking glass}

i hope you can take a few minutes to take a look at my treasury & would love to hear your thoughts either here or there

for now
