Etsy Happiness

I stumbled upon FreyaArt after seeing one of the birth posters over at Ohdeedoh. Her prints are so alive and happy, with beautiful words and illustration. I found the perfect 'Happy 6 month wedding anniversary' card too (last one pictured), which although not entirely neccessary, is worth it for the romance!

Alice Myers - Rocket

I love the idea behind this exhibition of photographs. Alice Myers took photographs of children pushing away from the edge of the pool whilst learning to swim. So simple, but they really capture that feeling of flight, that moment when you propell yourself into the unknown. The colours are gorgeous and I have to say that everytime I look at them I want to find the nearest pool and dive right in.

And actually that's what I shall be doing! I'll be away for a week as I'm off to France! To read, cuddle, soak up some sunshine and of course, swim. Have a wonderful week!

Blog Love

I've had the week off this week (and have next week too, yay!) so have had some time to invest in the lovely world of blog. It's ages since I had time to flit from one blog to the next, so I thoroughly enjoyed this little adventure. I thought I'd share some of my lovely finds here - check em' out.

Daydream Lily

In Lisa's words: Indie art, dreamy photography, handmade craft, vintage finds and other inspiring things.

I have to say I love her post on gorgeous, eco friendly wedding dresses. They make me want to get married all over again, in spring time.

Pacing the Panic Room

This is a little bit of a blog obsession of mine. As are a lot of baby related things lately, but hey, I'm allowed. The story of the 40 weeks of pregnancy, beautifully ilustrated by some amazing photography and hilarious, honest and touching commentary. If you have the time, go back back back to the beginning and enjoy every week.

It's Heavenly

Carlene over at Its Heavenly has a fab blog: art, fashion, life, weddings... She also genourously does some fab giveaway's so get yourself over for a gander.

Many Lovely Little Things

And I guess blogging runs in the family? My baby sis has started a blog! Say's she: 'I am a 20 something English girl. I live in a beautiful house in North London, and share my room with a very untidy but lovely boy called Glen! This blog is a place for me to share my adventures and many little things with others......'

Check out my blog roll for all my other faves. And what blogs do you love? Feed my habit!!

500 Days of summer

'This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true-to-life and unique dissection of the unruly and unpredictable year-and-a-half of one young man’s no-holds-barred love affair'



This film looks so gorgeous... The music, the photography, the outfits, the story. I can't wait to see it. What's everyone else excited about seeing this summer?

I got my head checked...

So last Friday was the day that M and a lot of other people had been waiting a long time for. It was the Blur reunion in Hyde park.

Now I have to admit, that being a little (lot!) younger than M, I'm not quite as into them as he is, however I think that could be said for all music. I love music, he's just a nut. But last Friday, a big group of friends all met up on the outskirts of Hyde park, on one of the most glorious days I can remember in London. There was such a magical feeling in the air, something that I've only ever found at Glastonbury really. Warmth, love and that feeling that anything could happen.

The sun was shining..

Dancing shoes were on..

So dance we did.

Conversations were had

Clouds were watched

And it was over in a blur..

The gig also gave me a great idea for some artwork for the baby's room, so if I'm brave enough, I might share it with y'all soon.
