Aw, Bonbi Forest was one of the first stores to stock FinestImaginary items (over a year ago now! wow!). Earlier this month Bonbi’s owner, Lee May, announced that the Emporium as we know it would be closing it’s doors at the end of August. It’s all for a good reason, though, the Bonbi Forest brand is doing so well that there’s just not enough hours in the day for Lee May to dedicate to the Emporium whilst spending time on her own work. I wish Bonbi Forest the best of luck, and I’ll be sad to see the emporium go!

Head over to Bonbi Forest now to take advantage of a 15% discount offer, there are tonnes of fabulous items from some great artists and designers on there!

Friday we went out, I wore my new fringe and a new (yet to be released) finestimaginary EPIC necklace. I also took a chance to model the new Twinkie Chan mittens that arrived, cute huh? Alas, I did not wear these out, that would have been a bit strange seeing as it’s supposed to be the middle of summer. Whut? Anyway, you should go and check out all twinkie’s things, so pretty. Buy handmade! It’s good for your soul :)

Sorry about that title, I should have been a poet, non? …

I spotted these items of lustification on one of the sneaker blogs I read. ZOMG, luscious, right? I can totally see these being rocked with some kinda lacey tea dress. Definitely. Not much known about these babies yet, but alas, I shall endeavor to keep you updated… especially when they exist on my feet.

Recently I’ve been lusting after a calculator watch. I have no idea why. I’m ridiculously tempted by this pretty casio number…

It’s amazing, and I need it in my life. Thing is, I don’t wear watches. If I got this watch, though, I would become a watch wearer. Without a doubt. Other things that have been on my mind lately include a flip HD (which is penciled in for the 1st of August! hah!), some new luscious green nikes (which will be bought as a reward in a few weeks time), and various summer dresses (again, I don’t wear dresses… whut?! I should start).

What things have you been lusting after lately?

I’ve been added a few new favourites to my etsy hearts this week so I thought I’d do a bit of a round-up of the things I really love on there at the moment :) Don’t forget, you can visit finestimaginary’s etsy store here!

The little fluff gibbons have really come out of their shells these past few days. After rampaging around the room on their first night, they now tend to sleep pretty soundly all night (apart from the moments that they wake up and find it completely appropriate to start biting our toes or butts). Bramble is a complete terror, she’s afraid of NOTHING (except Mr.Fish, but we soon conquered that).. I think she’s definitely the more dominant of the two. Pumpkin definitely has more of a blood-thirst, Adam has the scratches on his arm as proof.

Both of them are really super friendly, though, loving strokes and tickles and always wanting attention. I’m so so so pleased that we adopted them as a pair, they hate to be alone. If they can’t see one another they start making funny meeping sounds and wandering around looking. And FIGHT! Omg do they fight… Constantly rolling around like one of those cartoon cat-fights. It’s pretty hilarious! This evening we’re taking them to the vets for their first set of jabs, with the second set being in 3 weeks. After they’re done and dusted with their inoculations, we’re going to introduce them to my parents cat, Sushi. Hopefully they’ll get on well and Sushi can come stay with us in November when my parents go on vacation.

Ohh, someone wanted to see what they’re half of… here’s a photo of  Norwegian Forest cat. Bare in mind they’re only half of this breed, but you can definitely see similarities, especially with Pumpkin. You can see more Wegies on this flickr group.
