Today’s blog is Pequitobun whose fantastic jewelry, (american spelling!), has been featured by the likes of the Gossip Girl TV program and Urban Outfitters.

Our daily inspiration today is a coat. Yes a coat. It’s still freezing outside despite the sun!! You can find this beautiful 1960s Vintage Russian Military style coat for sale from Allen Company Inc on etsy.

This gorgeous Love Bird print comes from Lucy’s Happy Place on Folksy. Get there quick, our daily updates have proven to be quick selling items!!

We always enjoy anything to do with collecting or treasure hunting or stately manors. Life At Willow Manor has all this and more – including some interesting paranormal goings on. Another one of our little interests!!

This cute pink pinup was created by digital illustrator Laura Cartwright.

“I work and live Newcastle as a Graphic Designer & Graphic Artist. I’ve been digitally creative for the past 6 years and I have found creating vector based illustrations the perfect outlet for my creativity as an individual and It was only natural for me progress into digital Illustration through my work. I have exhibited my artwork throughout the Northeast in various galleries, shows and local businesses; I’m also a represented artist in Paris where my work is exhibited on canvas in and around Paris. I have also worked closely with an Art company in Germany where I created new work for wall murals, deco stickers and canvas pieces to be sold in large department stores.

My work consists of a very traditional theme but created in a very modern medium. I love to illustrate portraits; I find that this theme can create for the viewers an emotional reaction depending on what emotion I create within the pieces. I always just create one off’s but I created a special black and white series of prorates for my 1^st solo exhibition and these were and still are extremely popular with galleries. I have also created a series of shoe illustrations based on how shoes you can tell a lot about a person from what shoes they wear. These were created as a filler piece for an exhibition and they were so popular that I made them into a large series consisting of 12 pieces. I have also created a few pieces based on tattoos, I created my first tattoo portrait back in 07 and it was a massive success so I created a few more pieces. These always get a big reception with gallery goers, people seem to be fascinated with the art of tattoos and always make for a good talking point.

I can’t really explain my work because the pieces I create don’t really have meaning behind them I just have the inspiration to create something beautiful.”
