Showcase your best creativity here!

Right now, sitting in another bohemian cafe, slouched on a well used vintage fabric sofa with an endless amount of tea, I have found myself with everyone's life long friend – the Internet. Like most students, I am meant to be doing research for the start of university, but my little arrow man has found more blogs to suck me into. For me, there is nothing better than seeing articles, blogs and sites covered in pretty, maybe shiny things! What more could a creative minded person what to see, if they cant put their hand through a screen and fondle the yummy looking things?

  A couple of days ago, the magic from word of mouth, whispered some lovely words in my ear, saying that a few of our friends in Nottingham had been handed a slice of rare vintage wallpaper, an everyday occurrence right? Wrong! This was a business card for online shop, entitled Spinster's Emporium. At first glance I thought it could be a retirement knitting group or a bitter women's knitter natter, but while I'm in this cafe, about to get out another round of tea, the vintage wallpaper slipped upon me and I thought “why not? Let's have a browse”

  Its not a knitter natter for bitter women, but a quirky site that's enough to make anyone get splashed with the wave of creativity, or just look goggled eyed at the mass of color and illustration. I personally, am a sucker for any fabric that is unique. Material Girl has a collection of wonders and wooers of texture, color and print; and  it appears, to people around me – that I'm stroking the screen?! It literally brings a super cheesy, giant grin to my face when I see a site for vintage produce that isn't dull! Internet, my friend, today you have done well.

  I have a relaxed attitude to fashion, but it seems silly in this “make do and mend” revival that we're having at the moment, to buy clothes, why not be crazy and make them? The fabric on this website screams luxury, from the rich colors and textures, that now, I really want to make a beautiful gown or cocktail dress. One thing that always seems impressive about hand picked fabrics is the distinctive prints. Since starting university, an overwhelming desire have leeched upon me, that the cut is important, but the print in like gold.
