fine + dandy

So, as part of my vision writing exercise (i'm doing this because i'm reading a really good book about going it alone in business!) i have been instructed to develop a "research and development" plan on a regular basis, i think this means that i should research other brands or find inspiration from somewhere?? i think? Anyway... quite hard to do when my daily/ nightly activites are on a so- all- over- the- place- all- the- time basis lol getting back to what i was saying for inspiration i often look at what other brands are doing to get the creative juices flowing fresh and have found a couple of cute things i would like to share.....

these babooshka dolls are totally awesome and handmade here on the goldie  check out the rest of them at the etsy shop... http://www.etsy.com/listing/65341985/kiss-band-matryoshka-dolls

who doesn't like hand knitted finger puppets? sooo cute....and oops there's ,more go to  http://www.etsy.com/listing/67458143/pirate-handknitted-finger-puppets

laltely i have also been into buying headbands so when i saw these i screamed with delight ha ha
