This morning i made my way to a new little market on Oxford St in Leederville. It was a very small market but all the stands there were amazing and they each offered beautifully unique items for my viewing pleasure :)
There were two stands that really stood out to me though, the first being the one run by Annie Rawle (please note that her website is nothing compared to seeing them in real life, also she said that she finds it hard to find the time to keep her etsy store updated). She makes the most divine jewellery but with a twist. She free-hand machine embroiders fabric and then makes them into brooches/pendants. I love the fact that they have two uses. Adaptable jewellery is exactly what i need in my wardrobe. She also makes earrings, rings and crochet bangles. There wasnt a thing in her stall that i didnt love! She really is a lovely lady, I stood talking to her for about 45 mins in total!
This is the beautiful brooch/pendant i bought from Annie today. I also bought the necklet to put it on. The colours are just so vibrant in real person.
Yes, i know it is the same design as the pendant BUT in my defence I saw the ring and it matched the outfit i was wearing perfectly so I couldn't not buy it lol
Here are some of Annie's other gorgeous brooches/pendants. I found this pic on one of her websites. As you can see, they are just amazing! It took me a loooong time to actually decide on what to buy as i was trying to choose between 3 gorgeous pendants! They are available in a smaller size as well.
This, although not as eye catching as the pendants, really got my attention. I love the innocent simplicity of it. When i tried it on it made me feel young and like doing cartwheels. I took that as a good sign ;)
The other stall i really enjoyed was the Foxxy Vintage one. They had the most amazing pieces of vintage jewellery there! There were a few pieces that i really liked but when i saw this one i just fell in love and had to buy it! I am hoping that i can incorporate it onto my wedding dress to use as my 'Something old and something blue'.
Hopefully i can make it work somehow.

I can see why you fell in love with the vintage brooch, it's so gorgeous and just perfect for your something old and something blue :)
OMG gorgeous!!! are you sure we weren't separated at birth??? I thought exactly the same thing about the cute bracelet!
That will be a gorgeous addition to your wedding dress. I look forward to seeing how it all comes together!
