Call of the Wild

[via That Kind of Woman]

This pic has been is a bit like the town bike this week, it seems every blog has had a ride.

I just couldn't resist posting it.

It's just too damn swoon worthy. Toot toot ring my bell!

Plus it's drenched in decorum...which makes up for my lack of classiness.

Framed

I'm on the hunt for picture frames, specifically something ornate and obnoxiously luxurious in style. Similar to these beauties -

I've got some sazzy japanese fabric from my lovely sister that is much too pretty to be destroyed with my feeble (insert: aggressive) attempts to fashion it into clothing.

I've also been saving this image by Catherine Campbell which featured in "The Big Issue" a couple of months back

However i don't want to fork out a packet, i rather find the frames dusty and deserted, so i can pretty them up with a lick of paint.

Because i won't be diving into dumpsters anytime soon, i started my picture frame search on Etsy. Inevitably i quickly became sidetracked and found more gorgeous prints to frame.

Printed on a vintage German English dictionary

Printed on vintage (1936) French book on art and philosophy

If all else fails with my treasure hunt, i can always frame the fabric in an embriodery hoop as shown on Purl Bee.
