the most beautiful sewing box from Liberty
A beautiful 50s corset
To add to my porcelain animal collection – my hedgehog egg cup!
can’t wait to photograph this on – a gorgeous sheer Mulberry dress
Gingerbread and vintage sheer tights.
Glass jar from Urban Outfitters for my new office!
The week between Christmas Day and New Years is always an extremely lazy one. I’ve spent every day in a pair of new Pyjamas fawning over my new bits and bobs and burning off calories (slowly..) on the Wii Fit. Everybody seems to be posting the things they received for Christmas, so I thought i’d photograph a few of mine – perhaps they’ll give you some ideas for what you want to spend your Christmas money on – I know exactly what my Christmas money is going towards, but i’ll reveal that in a few weeks…! What did you get for Christmas?!
Another reason for this post was to test out a little photo editing application - ToyCamera Analog Colour. Several of you have asked how I edit photographs, and since you don’t all have photoshop, I thought i’d share with you this little gem! It edits your photos to look just like something that would come out of a toy camera, and it’s so simple to use with loads of presets. This is the first time i’ve used it but it’s really versatile! Download it and have fun!
I’ll be back tomorrow – and not in my pyjamas! x
I’m really looking forward to see your dress! It looks AMAZING!! I’m sure it will fit so great on you
Cheers
i want to see your dress!! =)

The dress looks so pretty and I’ve been admiring that glass jar in UO for ages!
I love the little hedgehog cup!
I got some pretty good gifts this year! One sister gave me Printing By Hand and a bunch of stuff for making stencils and stamps. My other sister gave me a scarf and necklace she made, and some glass tubberware that she is going to fill with homemade food every week (since I am in college). I also got some other cool stuff… A book I’d been wanting, the first cd of rosetta stone…
PLEASE tell me where the stationery is from! We share a gratuitous stationery love-of course the rest of your presents are beautiful, but I particularly love the deer book!
dior cherie is such a great parfume *-*
i got it last birthday (:
Lucky you!
I love that perfume. All your presents are fantatic.
Merry christmas

All of your presents are wonderful! Especially that Mulberry dress! & I’m pretty jealous of your bottle of Miss Dior Cherie! =)

Cannot wait to see the mulberry dress in full, and the other things are darling too!
I’ve spent some of my Christmas money on ModCloth stuff, I can’t wait for it to arrive! The rest is saved for my trip to Berlin in mid January!
I can’t wait to see the Mulberry dress and the corset looks beautiful! (L)
Those vintage tights are adorable and I’m jealous of your sewing box!
beautiful haul! lucky girl! Merry Christmas!
omg a mulberry dress? you’re so lucky!!! And i love that exercise note book hahaah funfact: the original design is from Hong Kong
we used to buy them like 5 for $10hk or something super cheap from stationery stores
I love using Toycamera to edit my photos! It makes everything look like it belongs to the world of reverie, sometimes veering into nightmare territory but not in an unpleasant way. All of your presents are lovely and pretty, especially those vintage sheer blue tights and 50’s corset. And of course the beautiful Mulberry dress!
What magical photos! Happy Christmas!
the sewing set is gorgeous!
Ah thank you so much for posting the link to ToyCamera, it looks fantastic, downloading it now
I love miss dior cherie, i was lucky enough my ridiculously kind boyfriend bought me some more for xmas x
Gorgeous pressies! I bought that deer cahier for my friend. I LOVE it! And I have that sewing box

Someone got spoilt! I’m jealous, lovely pictures!
Ah, this answers my photography question on your more recent post. Thanks :]
Thanks for sharing the link. I love the Toy Camera Analogue Colour application!!
The pictures are wonderful as usual, and all the gifts you got are so charming– is it silly that I’m especially jealous of that BEAUTIFUL cookie??
P.S. (can anyone answer this for me? I assume Carrie would be too busy too)
Can anyone tell me how to use the Toy Camera Analog Colour thingie? I downloaded it but there’s not install set-up or anything. I got the files and unzipped them but I don’t know how to use the program!
You’re blog is so incredibly exquisite! It’s like a beautiful victorian sweet-shop for the eyes!! I’ll definitely be spreading the blog love. I have a feeling this will keep lots of my girlfriends happy
