This ring, as well as being gorgeous, is also ecologically sound. It uses inlays of pebbles (which you supply yourself) along with recycled titanium and silver. It makes a very unusual wedding ring! It’s available, with other ecologically responsible jewellery at Green Karat.

These super fabulous earrings would be a perfect back to school gift for those who like their jewellery a little bit different. Available from Tomate D’epingles.

Now this Polly Put The Kettle On necklace is perfect for tea lovers and it’s available from Cutie Pie Jewellery.

Aren’t these cupcake necklaces from Tiny Cravings are just cute! And the best thing is that they are lightly scented too and there are lots of scents to choose from.

You could buy this Key to My Heart necklace for your loved one, or they could buy it for you. Either way you can find it over at Kim Quinn Dot Com.

I found this wonderful Etsy store Letterfest over on Belle and Boo’s blog. These pebbles are adorable and there are some that can be customised with names or initials.

Another gorgeous papercute from the ever talented Elsa Mora. This one is called Tree House.

This gorgeous lion is one of the softies up for auction here on behalf of the Softies for Mirabel campaign run by Meet Me At Mikes. Go and have a look and see if you can help out a good cause.

Yeah!!! Area Thrify One has got her new Babushka Bunny sets into her Etsy shop. I quite fancy the orange one myself! And if you are quick she has a giveaway on her blog to win one of these.

I have fallen in love with a new blog that I have found Lulu Carter and with gorgeous offerings like this owl bag above you can probably see why!

Jerusalem from Storia Home has made these very cute party pockets. Check out her blog too here.

Look at all these yummy buttons that Polka Dot Creations has made - yum yum!

This dress print is one of the fabulous ones from Yellow Monday who is having a buy one get one free sale on the prints in her shop.

I really like this original artwork entitled Castle on The Water by Emma Klingbeil. There’s just something about the little guy on top.

Isn’t this bag by Kate Garey just the cutest thing? You need to beware of Willie the Werewolf on full moons but he should be ok the rest of the time!

I really like the simplicity of this ‘blue nine’ necklace from Odds.

Lost River Rags have thought of a cute way to get reluctant bathers into the bath. Just look at this cute set for kids that includes a chocolate brownie soap and a monster wash mitt!

I’m not sure what it was about these cowboy inspired earrings that got me interested - I think it was the hat! Available from Om Shanti.

The colours on this hair clip by Emi Belle Designs really pop - and the bit of bling will attract sparkle loving girls too.

To celebrate Team GB’s two gold medals in the Olympics so far I have decided to do a post on gorgeous gold items I have found on Dawanda. I’ve chosen Dawanda as they are doing an Olympic special where you can get 11% selected items during specific times - see the special banner at the top of the homepage for more details.

I seem to be picking things today that look good enough to eat and this necklace by Tizzalicious is no exception!

If my lovely husband hadn’t already bought me an eternity ring then I would seriously consider this one by Kalicat.

This delicate poppy necklace by Australian artist Simone Walsh is gorgeous.

24 carat gold has been fused between glass to make this stunning necklace by Bivo.

I couldn’t resist featuring this gold tooth necklace by Bumblesea - it made me chuckle!

I really couldn’t decide which one of Frangines gorgeous bracelets to feature but this lovely turquoise one won the day.

This next bracelet from Buttonloon just had to be featured because of the colours and design of the buttons used. I really like the wooden element in there too.

I quite fancy eating that lollipop myself! It’s never too early to be thinking about Christmas gifts and one of these adorable tutus would be perfect for a dressing up loving girl. These are available from Cotton Candy.

I like making books and journals myself so when Rosie Posie contacted me about her gorgeous handmade books I knew I had to feature them. I’m really liking the addition of the doily in this one.

Now these creation above by Sarah of Blooming Felt look like sweets but I wouldn’t recommend eating them as they are actually button covered drawing pins. What a great way to brighten up your notice board!

Well that was the most needed holiday ever! But we are back now and feeling refreshed. I will still only be posting twice a day at the moment as my elder daughter doesn’t start school until the 2nd Sept and I don’t want to be on the computer all day. Thanks to all those who sent in their cute items - they have been filed and will make an appearance in the next couple of months as I have so many to look at! Those who contacted me about advertising I will get back to you hopefully in the next couple of days.

I’ll be back later with a proper post.

Sushipot uses the most fantastic vintage ephemera to make beautiful pendants. And the packaging used looks beautiful too. My only problem would be which one to choose! Which is not much of a problem really

Now many people would say that these aren’t cute but they are certainly intriguing. Sushipot takes vintage ephemera, scraps of wood and doll parts to make these original assemblage art pieces.

Sushipot also offers these wonderful collaged greetings cards - and for a piece of original art at an affordable price they can’t be beaten!

Seeing as part of my break away from Cuteable is going to be spent in France I thought I would have a look and see what some French Etsians have on offer.

This bag is super fun and perfect for summer. You can buy it from Lili Petite Chose.

I love, love, love the work of Hens Teeth. I love the new direction she has gone in here with these embroidered soldered pendants.

I must admit that I really do like her embroidered envelopes - they bring together my love of vintage ephemera and beautiful stitching. Hen’s Teeth also has a blog here so go and check her out.

I can’t remember how I first came to find My Happy Accidents but I am so pleased I did. Steven’s work is wonderful and colourful and I can just see it all fitting into my craft room perfectly. His work also has wonderful back stories and that always makes something more special to me.

I love these fairly new pieces of work from Steven - squashed birds! And as he says each one is unique as he can’t tell exactly where the paint is going to be squished too.

This piece above is my favourite! And at $35 for a piece of original artwork it is an absolute bargain too. Steven also has a great blog here and a wonderful vintage shop here too. He’s a busy man!

I first came across Tummy Mountain’s work a couple of weeks ago and I was instantly hooked. Lloyd (the tall one) paints the world of the little ones on Tummy Mountain - which I think is somewhere in Australia.

The prints of the two girls together are my favourites as they remind me so much of my own daughters - especially ‘What Cake?’

There is also a blog full of yummy goodness too which is here.

Mandinka makes use of old suits (inside and out) to make these beautiful bags.

These cards from Recycled Ideas aren’t just normal cards. When you have finished displaying it then you can plant it in your garden and because it is embedded with seeds you will get beautiful plants!

Now Ruth at Sparkle Thots is a very talented jewellery maker and I really had trouble deciding which items of hers to put in this post! I’ve featured the giraffe earrings before and love them so they had to be featured again and the bird earrings are cute too.

No prizes for guessing which of these gorgeous necklaces is my favourite - ok seeing as you asked it is Miss Chirpy up at the top! Isn’t she cute? But if cute isn’t your thing then there are plenty more sophisticated items to suit you.

As well as cute bracelets like Kitty Kitty above Ruth also does gift certificates so if you want to buy something for a loved one but aren’t quite sure what they like then you can give them the choice with a certificate.
