2022 Armitage Weekly Round-up #16

We haven’t had a rainy morning here in a long time, but today is rather grey and drizzly. Meh. Perfect time to do the round-up before I venture out and get some grocery shopping done. It is time for a new round-up header. I went down the edit route this time, throw back to good…

No Joke

Armitage House really exists! Hehe, it never occurred to me that maybe my tumblr avatar (as seen in my recent anniversary post in the embedded first ever post on tumblr) might be mistaken as an edit. I have not doctored that picture. Neither have I snuck out at night with paint and brush. Contrary to…

RA Pocket Shrine 272/? – The Lair of the Silver Fox

Silver Fox? Sounds familiar, right? I recently made a silver fox shrine that was sold in the Ukraine Aid fundraiser. It was picked up pretty quickly, and as a result, I was approached bts whether I would consider making another silver fox shrine in return for an identical price to go into the fundraiser pot.…

2022 Armitage Weekly Round-up #15

The week was really busy for me. Lots of work came in, and I was finally back to writing original pieces for my fashion blog. (It’s way more work but also way more rewarding.) I now know everything there is to know about the best sneakers to expect and invest in in 2022 😂. Yesterday…

Raffle Winner

Good morning and happy Wednesday! We have a raffle winner. I’ll make it short: Congratulations to Jalizar – you have won the shrine and I will put it in the post for you asap. (I think I still have your address via Etsy 😉.) And many thanks for everyone who commented and put their names…

RA Pocket Shrine 271/? – Look at me

Happy Easter everyone! I have an Easter egg for you. The inspiration has been flowing recently. This year I am determined to finally round off the current 100 shrines and create vol. 3 of my Art of Shrining book series. And the result of the inspo will be raffled off to one lucky reader. The…

2022 Armitage Weekly Round-up #14

Very fittingly for a long Easter weekend, I will have a bumper round-up for you today. At least I hope so. After all I missed last week’s round-up due to travelling. Let’s see what happened in the meantime… I hope you have had your first cup of coffee this morning, because starting off with this…

Happy Easter 🐇

Is it premature to wish a happy Easter on Good Friday? Well, in any case, it looks as if my fingers are itching and I can’t resist getting back into blogging mode. On Sunday, my Social Media break will be over. In all honesty (and with all due respect) I can’t say that I *overly*…

OT: Back from the Wifi Desert

Hello hello, I am back! Apologies for the absence over the last week and a half while I was travelling in Germany. The Fazerland (largely) remains a wifi desert, i.e. once I had left Kate, my access to wifi became problematic. Despite checking into a four star hotel in Munich, their wifi was deplorable. We…
