remember getting letters? as in, hand written letters... not bills or bank statements... but letters from far off places in ever so slightly crumpled brown envelopes with clusters of exotic stamps... we do, and we sorta miss them. that's why we really love getting deliveries where the sender has injected a little bit of character into their packaging, whether it be quirky handwriting, a little hand written note or something like the above. this box is from the lovely emmelie brunetti who not only has an amazing blog <a href="http://atwm.wordpress.com/">'a treatise on white magic'</a> but makes beautiful black amber solid perfume balms that just arrived today. in the box above. which we love.<br />

</a></div>we're often drawn to that potent combination of pretty and dark with our buying for children of vision - and when it comes to jewellery 'dainty' just aint our thing... so when we came across the work of new york jeweller <a href="http://www.chrishabana.com/">chris habana</a> we knew we were on a similar wavelength.<br />
<br />
his new collection 'loosing my religion' is full of suitably gothic imagery, crosses are made three dimensional and wrapped around the wrist or inverted and turned into small (but definitely not dainty) studs. A ram's head is covered in tiny nail heads and large frame work quartz shapes form a striking neck piece.<br />
<br />
yeah, we're pretty much in love.<br />
