Lust of the Week: Secret Book 2 watch necklace by Marrianne Handcraft


Seek some hidden treasures... online at Etsy. This bottomless pit of international creativity never fails to disappoint and this week's LOTW is taken by the charming collections made by Korean craft shop, Marrianne Handcrafts.

Consisting of 5 young artists, this little design shop has made a splash online, even being featured on Etsy's front page -a definite coup. Everything in their shop is handmade and all has a distinct vintage flavour characteristic of the line. Each piece, and this watch necklace is a great example, is intricately detailed, complex, and whimsical. This necklace looks like it could have come straight out of a dusty attic, and the rusty brass and red tones are perfect for fall. The little book even opens and is a teeny tiny 24 mm tall. Check out their shop for more goodies!

Too cool...and just in time for the start of spending season.

That's a nice school memory--about the doll house. Miniature things are always interesting. A friend of mine as silver pendent that's shaped like a purse and the purse opens.

I'm in lust with this! It's a great price and will make a great conversation piece. It's like each piece has its own story to tell.
