It's a lovely site, but how do they make any money? They hardly sell anything

at gorgeousness of whippetgrey design.

LOL Lapin, what can I say it's my job!

but check out the glass tealights in the curious objects section. Soooo pretty. And I am turning 36 in December, a very significant b'day doncha know

they sell loads, but only a limited selection online

request a catalogue. The catalogue is soooo gorgeous. It's practically a picture book, my kids love it

I like this stuff Lovely jewellery.

it's the ultimate bunting cupcake site. have a look at the bottle light on the front page, do you think that when you turn it on its side it'll roll all over the place? it would be suitable for xmas pressies for a couple of people i know, i reckon.

Delicious

irREsistable

Qwirky

sorry, LittleLapin you already posted Whippet Grey
I must read more before posting!

I know I always bang on about sheerluxe.com, and I know I get grief about blatant promotion b/c I do a bit of freelancing for them but they do have a wishlist section where you can compile a list of the things you want across ALL of the sites on the directory - and then send it to your friends and family

It's my 40th next year. Can I just state, for the record, that I do not want any earrings made out of silver flies. I thank you.

Agreed, Soren, the flies are a bit , but I rather like the snails.
