Oh I like these....







I hope that you like these new goodies as much as I do! Nautrally I felt it necessary to keep one of each for myself! Supplies are limited so if you want any be quick! Plenty more styles to come just in time for Christmas!

but wait.... there's more

even more new goodies.....


"Petaluma" vintage earrings... made using those delightful 14mm lucite rounds from my earlier blog!

Or perhaps you would prefer...


... "Louella" vintage enamel hairpin, or maybe...


... "Georgie" singed rose choker with a vintage enamel and pearl centre.. Just lovely!

Or maybe you need something beautiful for your hair? Named after one of the worlds very special people... "Miriam" vintage enamel filligree hairpins with a freshwater pearl centre.


And last but not least for today... "Estella" flower snap clip. These are such fun to make using vintage plastic stacking flowers. What do you think?

A few goodies... and a new stockist!

As promised, here are a few shots of just a few of my new goodies...

There will be lots more on the way so stay tuned for more shots. Be warned, supplies are limited!

these are just delightful......


When I saw these beauties, I couldn't resist... and oh how I love vintage lucite beads. Thanks to my favourite bead dealer, I now have a lovely big supply and feel inspired to create something beautiful!

How boring you may think? They are just beads... Just let me work my magic, with the new love of my life ~ antique bronze findings.


Coming soon, when I can get my camera going, are some shots of some of my new earrings. I am so happy with them, I have decided to keep a pair of each for myself.

I have been inspired...

Blogging has never really been my thing and as you can tell I am new to this game..... But I have been inspired to start my blog by a very creative friend of mine. Alison Willis, who is the whizz behind the most devine collection of handmade bags and clutches that have ever graced this planet.....Berlinski Design http://www.berlinski.etsy.com/

I just love fabric and Alison has an amazing collection... Her pieces are all very unique and each one is different. She uses vintage Japanese kimono pieces, vintage tablecloths, laces, ribbons and doilies.

They are so beautiful in fact, I confess that I own two! Do visit her Etsy store and follow her blog http://www.berlinskidesign.blogspot.com/

I will share photos of my new goodies as they become alive. Beware that most do not make my website and few make it to the markets, so if you see something that you simply must have, do mail me info@mamaduck.com.au

Coming soon... Sweet enamel earrings, new groovy children's singlets and even more hairpins!

I will work on the photos and graphics so that my blog does not look so boring... do give me a little time. In the meantime, I am off to create more gorgeous accessories.
