TIME FOR TEA

For those of you who are shiny and new to this blog, I am an Irish girl living in a forest ran by squirrels, beside the beach in the South of France. Apart from keeping the french boulangeries in business, I run Dandelion Daydreamer Vintage by day and paint by night! As amazing as French cuisine, boulangeries and patisseries are, sometimes all I crave is a good ole cup of Irish or Englsih tea! This post is a little collection of artists and designers inspired by a world-wide love of tea!

Pretty fine bone china bangles by Stay Gold Mary Rose.

 What better way to jazz up a tired cardigan! These sweet buttons are hand-crafted in Ireland by I Heart Crafts.

 I Love Cutie Pie. Be warned you will not leave this gorgeous English girl's shop empty handed! I have too many favourites to mention in this Alice in Wonderland heaven!

An all time favourite illustrator of mine, Catherine Campbell. Her Australian based shop is truely enchanting, let her fairytale prints whisk you off for a  magical moment in a busy day :)

Pretty Catherine Campbell Illustrations to Brighten Your Day

Wish I'd seen the illustrations of Catherine Campbell in time to invite them to the Alice in Wonderland tea party! You can see more on her website and even treat yourself to a print or a calender... 12 lovely prints to welcome in each month :)

If I was forced to choose a favourite, it would be the little miss and her owl in a tea-cup... adore it! What's your favourite?
