I love ‘eye candy’. Such a great phrase.

It’s what I read blogs for.

So it’s a brilliant name for a blog. In it’s native Norwegian language it translates as Sukkertøy for øyet – which I like possibly even better! (just don’t ask me to pronounce it!)

And the blog of this name is pretty brilliant too. Ida Susanne has a fantastic eye for visual candy of all kinds.

I thought I would share the loveliness around.

All of these images are taken from Candy for the Eye – my newest blog crush ♥

It’s always nice to pass candy around and share it with your friends ♥

Although I use mainly vintage fabrics for my makes, I am a true fabric addict and just as likely to sigh longingly over contemporary ranges from time to time.

My new Living Etc for June arrived yesterday and I sat down this morning for a good old browse.

My eyes immediately lighted upon a fold-out promotion.

Normally the recycle bag would be beckoning. I hate those wodges of stapled-in advertising bumf that cause instability in my magazine pile.

But not this time.

The fold-out pages tell of fabric and wallpaper producer Scion’s new products. And my! Those fabrics are really jolly nice!

The company has drawn inspiration from mid-century archive documents and modern Scandinavian design to produce a collection called Melinki that’s right up my street.

I have already sent for samples. I just couldn’t help myself.
