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!

A tea cup collection to put mine to shame! Image by Penelope Waits via the Daydream Lily blog.

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 :)

MADAME BUTTERFLY

I spent a wonderful fun-filled day with Dani of I Love Cutie Pie a while back. We were working on some photography for her blog style posts. It wasn't too difficult really seeing as Dani is like a little doll and looks amazing in everything! Trust me, if she wasn't so sweet you would hate her ;) This shoot was for her Madame Butterfly necklace...but if I were you I wouldn't dare venture over to her site... there is simple way too much trinket temptation ;)
