Shown here alongside the adorable Saki, the Sewing Box, like the other Keepsake Boxes at Small Equals, is also perfect for storing game pieces, candies and other small items, too.

As well as being perfect for encouraging daydreams of travel (either actual or of the spirit), the new wondering about wandering print by Izabella of Fifiduvie would definitely add a pretty focus to a room, too. Silkscreened by hand on archival quality paper using silver and peacock blue non-toxic acrylic ink, this limited edition print measures 14" wide by 11" high and is signed and numbered by Izabella as well. A great gift for the wanderer and poet in all of us!

Lindsey of the lovely vintage shop Jolly Polly Pickins has just started a blog dedicated to her fab vintage style! Take a behind the scenes look at her great finds for the shop, find out the stories behind them, and get inspired by her fantastic eye. Recently Lindsey scored 8 vintage wire lamp shades — I love how sculptural these are, and would be tempted to just display them as is!
