You set me on fire LADYHAWKE!

Meow! Firstly; LADYHAWKE! LADYHAWKE! LADYHAWKE! La Clare likes Miss Ladyhawke, she has this 80s element to her which I love! My fave song of hers is definitely 'Back of the Van'. Here is an illustration I did of her in la back of a van, that is being engulfed in flames, somewhere far far off in la galaxy with a magical white horse which will take her back to Paris.
People often likened me to looking similar to her album artwork, below:

Well today should have been an uberly long stressful day at work, but fortunately I finished surprisingly early wwoooooooooooooopppp! And how did I celebrate my sudden freedom you ask? Well after skipping in la sunshine and humming along to lyricless songs, I went on a good splashing of 'CHAZZA SHOPPING' (meaning visiting la local charity shops on la hunt for magical finds). And OHHH! MY! I found some fantastical marvels today! Included two awesomely awesome winter coats, a vintage knit cardi with beautifully delicate metal fancy clasps, the tinyiest and cutest of porcelin tea cups, an amazingly tacky picture in frame, a wooden elf man with a huuuuuuggge nose whom I shall hang in my room, a wooden mederterain belly dancing woman figure whom shall marry la wooden elf man and they shall have wooden babies together! and AND I got a vintage limited celebration edition boxset of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass at an jaw droppingly cheap price! Oh I'm still ever so excited over my finds :D

I fancy having a miniature library around my neck, how about you?

I want I want I want this necklace!

This beast cost $325.00 which my brother translates to around 180 english pounds from the etsy seller The Black Spot Books. Isn't it truly divine! Made of real leather and antic metals with thick drawing paper inside so you can jott down any idea or burst of inspiration that may hit you.

This spectacular piece is again from the same etsy seller, and it is truly exquisite!
I love love love!
I adore the Disney film 'Beauty and the Beast' and when I was a nipper I loved the character Belle. She was an unconventional princess with her love of reading and books. 
What I really want in my dream home is my very own library, maybe not as huuuggge and exquisite as the one Beast shows Belle in le movie, but my very own library would make me an extremely happy kitten. 


I do love reading and collecting books. Just today I've brought 6 books and I am uber excited for their arrival.
Wouldn't it be TRULY AMAZING if those little books upon that gorgeous necklace were miniature story books! 
Alike these beauts made by design Allison Wells; Paper Snake.

Absolutely adorable!
It'll be like having a miniature library around your neck. And imagine if you could order any book in the world to get printed weeny sized to then attach to your necklace! OMG the possibilities!
