i was + will be are a husband and wife design duo from the US, inspired by antique concepts and good craftsmanship.



this weekend i came home to a package after a very tough week! it came as a very nice surprise - from portland, oregon all the way to my home town of nottingham in a matter of 3 weeks! the thing that struck me immediately was the attention to detail. not just simply put into a bubble wrap bag. string tied with thought and care, a printed badge, a waxed sealed thank you note and it's own cotton drawstring bag. i was instantly in love.







a lot of things are made to order, like this necklace from the helsinki series, but the delivery time was next to nothing - especially as it was coming half way across the world. the colours are bright and bold yet are mixed with brass and gems to create a vintage feel. visit the etsy shop to browse more.

next on this list? tumble series in bone white, spear of destiny and one fine day brass facets on a vintage chain.

self portrait.

it's about time i got creative.

dreaming in disney.

how amazing is this? would totally feel like ariel with this bad boy. another pay day find added to the list...

life plan.

i can't stop thinking about opening my own store. it would feature all the beautiful things i post in here, vintage finds and amazing clothing... wiksten made, mociun, rachel comey, folk, isabel marant, sessun, vanessa bruno athe, emerson made, verabel, comfort station.... my list is endless.

until i win the lottery or stumble upon a horrendous amount of money i'm going to continue to look at these beautiful jewellery pieces from cristina pires....








love the last necklace ♥

bombus.

"saving the planet through decoupage!"

really lusting after the 3D bird artwork from bombus. it's created out of vintage maps!!
