Seven lovely Things of the Week:

1. These realistic Bird Hairslides by Lady Muck of Whitstable are great, my hair already looks like a birds nest so it couldn't hurt to make it look like it's MEANT to be like that.

2. Sea Shanty Singing Dress at Modcloth is the cutest dress I've seen in ages! I'm a bit too ginger to wear pink but I think I'd make an exception for this dress.

3. I love this Mari Moon nail polish in Cutie Pie from Ninja Polish. It's super shiny! The photo is from Rainbow Obsession, my nails are sadly nowhere near as nice.

4. I love retro stationery and these Retro Pencil Sets from Mochi Things are ace.

5. Carmex is one of my favourite lip balms and I love these squeezy tubes and the mint flavoured one!

6. I bought these Red or Dead Colour Block Brogues in the Schuh sale last week. They look like bowling shoes, I can't wait to wear them. I had to buy a size bigger than I usually get though because they were so thin! I just have mega wide man feet I think.

7. It seems that satchels are ALWAYS cute, but this Turquoise Mini Box Satchel is an ace colour and an even more excellent price from Mozzypop.

New Stockists

It's been a bit of a dream-come-true kind of month for me at Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes HQ - I've got some very exciting new stockists that I can't wait to tell you about! I'm pretty new to this retail thing and I've got a lot of love for Clare over at Indie Retail Academy whose excellent and helpful blog posts I couldn't have done without.

Hannah Zakari

• Hannah Zakari have a beautiful store in Edinburgh as well as a fantastic online boutique which sells the work of over 150 independent indie designers. This now includes Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes! My jewellery is available in the shop but isn't on the wesbite at the moment; hopefully it'll be there soon - I'm so excited! In the mean time, check out all the other lovely things on their site: my favourites are this Natural History Museum Print by Robbie Porter and these Biscuit Earrings by Hug a Porcupine.

La La Land

• La La Land in the West End of Glasgow is a shop I'm in a LOT so I was super thrilled when they agreed to take on some of my jewellery. They sell all the coolest clothing, jewellery, accessories and art in their little boutique and on their online shop. Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes jewellery is currently stocked in the shop and will hopefully be up online soon! I can't wait. In the meantime check out this amazing Sweet Cerise Stamp Brooch and this Blue Geo Chevron Necklace.

 Ginger Pickle

• Ginger Pickle is a pretty little online store which supports British artists and designers. They have kindly agreed to take on some Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes jewellery and it's already up in their online shop! How exciting!!! Check it out in their Jewellery section. They have loads of other beautiful things, I love this Ration Notebook and this Mini Chevron Silver Arrow Necklace.

How great is that? Thanks so much to all my new stockists for this amazing opportunity! :)

Friday Wishlist

Seven things I love this week:

1. These Rainbow Yeti Matryoshka are hand painted and probably the coolest ornaments I've ever seen. Check them out and some amazing hand painted shoes at Pony Chops.

2. Since one of my best friends has recently moved far away I've been looking into getting some cute stationery to encourage me to write to her. Papermash have some lovely things!

3. This Cherry Blossom Dress by Black Milk is so pretty! I love Black Milk and this is one of my favourite new pieces. Im saving up to buy one!

3. Loving these dinosaur necklaces from Handmade by Ify, so much that I've bought about 5. I've been wearing them with everything! There's also 30% in her shop with the code WALKINGONSUNSHINE until 17th August.

4. Retro Lady Ties by Flapper Girl have been encouraging me to buy clothes with collars. They look so cool!

 6. Ruche have a lovely line of vintage style dresses by Heartbreaker. Im currently swooning over this one.

7. Repeating patterns look great but are really difficult to create! Check out this amazing Perpetual Bicycle Notebook by Hellojenuine.

Crazy Cat Lady Jewellery

I love cats. I don't have my own because my flatmate is (inconsiderately) allergic to them, but my boyfriend has a supercute cat. She has a broken tail and she can't meow properly (she makes a sort of "mep" noise instead) but she is so friendly, I love her to bits!

 Isn't she pretty? So pretty in fact, that I've designed some cat jewellery based on her. The brooches above come in glitter or black and the stud earrings below come in black at the moment, but orange, white, black glitter and gold glitter are coming soon.

I'm also making some cat necklaces similar to the brooches - any suggestions for other colours you'd like to see? More cute cat pictures below!

She loves boxes and bubble wrap; she gets so excited when we get packages!

This is her having her tummy tickled, she goes a bit nuts. Has anyone else got a cat? Show me your pictures, I love being distracted from real work by kitties.
