DAY 8 CUPCAKE COUTURE GIVEAWAY


On the eighth day of Giveaway - CUPCAKE COUTURE. Nadia is a creative consultant and genteel lady extraordinaire. If you were lucky enough to be handed the keys to a secret shop that had been kept sealed away since the 40's, a shop that was as clean as a new pin, a shop that smelled of vanilla, a shop that held a treasury of fine haberdashery and crisp stationery - you would know what Nadia is all about.


Besides working with independent creatives to build their brands and bake their blogs, Nadia has busy fingers. Busy fingers that make beautiful things like corsages, brooches, stationery and hair accessories. This year she has directed The Package Project a truly wonderful way to spread craft love across the world by linking like minded talents in countries cross the seas.

 

Nadia's timeless treasures can be found at the I HEART Market, Wonder MarketMOOI, Lady Jane Vintage, Fat Tuesday and The Fringe Arts.


My absolute fave aspect of Nadia's work is the inspired pieces she has made for weddings, I am all over the shakin' up of traditional wedding garb and decor like gold dust on fairy cakes.


Nadia's own wedding which is documented here is a perfect example of how the work of many loving hands and the thoughts of many inventive hearts making true memories for families to share.


Today's Giveaway is a dashing Victorian inspired corsage in jet, charcoal and ivory. It has a lovely preppy appeal and could be worn on a crisp white shirt with a high collar and skinny tie or a blazer or a lace shift or pinned to your handbag. LOVE it!!!!

    I think your friend would love my scotty dogs from the 50's.
    Mum has Victorian buttons hidden a closet so I can't get my paws on them.
