cue birds singing.

cue the loveliest of feelings deep inside your soul!
this is, indeed, how i feel about judit of vadjutka's beautiful eco friendly textile jewelry work: whole heartedly, entirely, smitten!

the beautiful shop vadjutka has quickly become one of my very favourites in the whole wide world. the endless appeal of judit's gorgeous sustainable work: her brilliant use of colour, the beautiful textures she weaves together, her most gorgeous & inspiring photos, and her love of giving new life to tiny scraps of traditional fabrics ( you know how i LOVE scraps!) combine to make it, i would say, just the loveliest of places to visit.

and now... how marvelously lucky we are... you can WIN one of her latest works! woohoo!

first: be sure to visit the wonderful vadjutka shop, where every unique piece of jewelry certainly does have it's own wonderful personality! you'll also want to catch up with her wonderful wit and charm on her beautiful blog, and thru her tweets and facebook updates. and how about subscribing to her lovely monthly newsletter here! and i know you, too, will be SMITTEN!

now... let's see what judit's collecting!

................................

who (are you) : Judit Wild, and my shop is vadjutka
what (are you collecting) : I collect vintage and modern glasses from around the world
when (did you start) : Approximately 10 years ago.
how (many do you have?): Somewhere around 25; I never know precisely.
where (do you find them) : I have two main sources: fleamarkets in the countries I visit – for example I have bottles from Greece, Macau, Austria, Turkey - and the fleamarket in Budapest, Hungary where I live.
where (do you keep them) : They are all around my flat: mostly on my bookshelf.
what (‘s a crazy/interesting story behind one) : Actually the very first piece of the collection is from my late boyfriend: I kept only this blue siphon-bottle of his.
what (piece would you like to add): My favourites are the art deco glasses, and I’d love to have one from France. And some more perfume glasses from China and Japan.
why (do you love them) : I love glass because it is clean, and I love to watch the light going through colored glasses.
which (one is your favourite) & why : My favourite is a little red and orange colored parfume bottle, that I bought in Macau. I love its colors and its clean-cut shape, but also, that it reminds me of that journey.
what (else do you collect) : National and tribal jewelry, but I dont have that many yet.

....................................

and now... you can win a vadjutka original eco necklace!
woohoo! it features traditional Hungarian tapestries, beautiful, colourful fabric remnants and wow - is just gorgeous!

judit writes about this beautiful necklace: In this necklace you will find a hand embroidered pattern, which is an element in one of Hungary's embroidery traditions: the Kalocsa embroidery. (Kalocsa is a town, known also for its tasty paprika powder.) I incorporated this traditional pattern into a modern findings that resulted - well, in my view - in an exciting mixture of colors, patterns and forms, and showing us, that traditions can be modernized.
