Jelly Pong Pong

While browsing the internet, I ran in to a really
cute make up label called:


It's really girly and fairy tale like, plus everything
has the most cutest packaging! But the true bonus is
that it isn't tested on animals, they have an inspiring
product philosophy and their manufacturing plants are
environmentally-conscious and cruelty-free.

Now let me show you :)!


This is eye shadow, don't you just love the little birdy?


Mascara called 'Fairy Lashes' and is also available in the
colours 'Alpine Blue' and 'Warm Violet'.


eye shadow, I am soooo in love with this little box!


Again, soooo adorable! I love blush!

I could go on and on with these cute pictures, but you
better just take a look at their website ;)

For us Dutchies; we can purchase Jelly pong pong at
this wonderful website where they have more cute
make up labels: Alice & Jo's

And have you seen Etos's new nail polish?
They now have the cutest colours!


{Etos is also not tested on animals!}


And here i am with the pink nailpolish :D
(and a new home made ring and headband)

That's all for today :)

Love,
Nikki

Hope you guys like it (^ω^)!

A little camera update:
I hate not being able to take pictures :(!
A while ago I ordered a new camera charger online.
When it came in it appeared to be a component you
needed to use with some kinda basic charger i ofcourse
did not have :(. The next day I went to the 'Handyman' and
he didn't have it in stock. He promised me he would have it
last saturday, well nope! I'm going by tomorrow and really
hope my new camera charger is waiting there for me so i can
show you my new craftroom and lots of other cute stuff!

Love,
Nikki

Blythe

I really love Blythe! I have a little girl named
Madelief (Dutch for Daisy) she's a prima dolly ashlette!


About a year ago I bought a cute ADG Aztek Arrival with
the intention to customize her.
Unfortunately I didn't came much further than carving her
lips and sort of screwing up her eyes (#^.^#)...
This poor girl was laying unfinished in a box somewhere,
a real pity. I decided she needed to go to a plastic
surgeon :p and that's where Jodie from Jodie Dolls came in!
She's a star in customizing dolls and fixing them up where
others have failed ;). She had a bit of a waitinglist, but
last week it was finally my ADG's turn and she was shipped
to Jodie :D! I asked Jodie if she could try to make her
look like a little Deer Girl \(^.^)/ and i'm very curious
about the results! It will probably take a while till she's
completely finished, but i'll keep you guys updated whenever
i can. For now, take a look at this pretty little girl:



What's your favourite Dolly (^_-)-☆ ?

I love Spring

Today was the first day this year i went outside
without a jacket. The weather is so lovely and
sunny! I came across some sheep with white fluffy
lambs and i realized; It's spring, it's really spring.
It felt like this:

I feel like Spring ♥

Pictures from we heart it.

Craftroom

I don't have a craftroom ~ yet.
My bf put me and my crafts in the basement once :p,
he thought it was a good idea but it was really to
depressing with hardly any daylight and grey walls :(.
But working in my livingroom has so many disadvantages
(cathair everywhere, always messy, little space) that
i decided to go back to the basement. Not a grey basement
though! I finally finished painting everything white today!
There's still a lot to be done, but at least i'm making some
progress! I want to finish it this week, and when it's done
there will be lots of pictures :). I have put together some
inspiration to keep me going, wanna see?

Oh Deer!

Oh Deer,
Oh heavenly Deer!
How did I ever survive without Deer?
Since Ebay, my Deer figurines collection has grown
above my head ~ I won so many (so I can't help it, right?).
And just now I stumbled on these two family's on Etsy:



In a cute shop named Snew (defenitely worth looking!)
I couldn't help myself, something takes me over whenever I see
Deer! Oh Deer...
~
Oh heavenly Deer...

:)

Wildlife

I can get so happy from stories of people who get visits
from wildlife in their garden! I wish i lived near
the woods or something like that! If only i had a garden where
squirrels, hedgehogs and maybe even deer came to visit me...
That would be so lovely! But till that dream comes true, i have
to do it with dreamy pictures on Flickr:


Hedgehog via Matt Soud


Deer via Gypsy Flores


(By the way, this girl Hannah is so awesome! I'm gonna
blog about her sometime this week!)


Squirrel via the dainty squid

Just now i was looking outside when i realised... i do
have wildlife in my sort of garden! Every day, from sunset
to twilight little bats fly past our windows every
couple of minutes! Like they are playing or something!
One morning i was up really early looking outside and
i remember thinking...those birds are fast! When they
came closer i saw the little serrated wings and i'll be
damned, those are bats! I wonder where they live during
the day... I have tried taking pictures and even filming
them but they are just to fast :(.
Have a peek at this cutie:



That's all for now :).
Love,
Nikki

New Camera

My vq1015 arrived in the mail today! Of course I immediately  took it out for a test shoot, and i love love love it! It's so tiny, as big as my thump, and it takes old looking pictures wich i dig. It's digital but doesn't have a little screen that shows what kind of picture you took so it's a bit guessing if it's pretty, but the bigger the surprise when you stick it in to your pc :). I even found special Flickr groups that only allow pictures taken with this camera or 'toycamera's' as they call it. The vq looks like this:


Isn't it cute :)? Guess it's time to show you guys some pictures i took today! The prettiest pictures were taken outside, as it has no flash. Behold...the magic!





I think this little camera will be with me wherever i go from now on :D, so there probably is much more to come!

Love,
Nikki

Thrifting weekend with Mum

This weekend, i went thrifting with my favorite partner in crime;
Mom. Before i went i printed out the thrifting tips from
the dainty squid, and a whole bunch of thriftingstores in
Drenthe (where mom lives). Friday morning i hopped on
the train and when i arrived my mom was already waiting
for me so we decided to take a thriftshop right away.
First stop was 'Staphorst'. I have no idea what i bought here,
we went to a lot of thriftstores and i don't even remember
which one was where, but i do know that every single one was
a succes and i didn't come out empty handed :D! It was already
running a bit late, but we had time for one more that friday,
so we went to 'het goed' in 'hoogeveen'. This is a bit more expensive
thriftshop because they are more selective in what they put in it :)
but again i found cute things including a sweet toy sewingmachine :)!
Here are some pictures:





So here you see red riding hood and 'i love paris' egg cups,
little cat figurines, two vintage kids squeeky animals, A big and couple
of small owl figurines (and a bunny) and a cat teapot i couldn't
resist :) and the last picture are woodland animals, owls and
squirrels and mushrooms.

I dind't photograph everything, cause it's way to much and i still
haven't found my camera charger :( these were taken with my
phone, sorry for the bad quality.
Click on the picture to see a bigger view!

The next day, saturday, we went to four thriftingstores!
One in 'Ruinerwold' wich i remember was really cute!
I found the most prettiest cuckoo clock, but my mom really
wanted to have it so it's in her house now. She promised
me another one :)! We also went to two thriftshops in
'Meppel' and they were okay except for some ridiculous
pricing on some items. The last thriftshop we went to
was also really nice! It was in 'Dieverbrug'.
More pictures :D :


A really old circus tin, so cute! four old camera's wich all work,
already made pictures with them :)! The sweetest strawberry
shortcake lunchbox, it was soooo dirty when i found it; it
almost walked away on it's own :p i almost didn't take it but
then i remembered kaylah's wise words: everything can be
cleaned :)! Also found a lot of deer coathangers for baby's and
they are sooooo cute!!!! I almost had to leave them behind
because the woman behind the counter said they were for the
store to hang baby clothes on, so I made up this terrible lie
about being pregnant and that I didn't have any of those yet
plus looking really sad...i guess it worked :p. Shame on me ;).
On the last picture are cute owl book ends, yay! The only thing
I didn't find was an old dollhouse, but I'll keep looking for that :).

This weekend was so much fun! My mom is really the
best and i hope we are gonna do this much more often!

Did you guys have a nice easter?
Love,
Nikki
