Thank you

Yep, it's been a while since January. I've been thinking about this blog a lot and I think it's a natural time to leave it be for a while. Life has had many changes since I started back in 2008 and it's been amazing to have a space to chronicle ideas, keep pictures and list books. But it's increasingly become harder to keep up with, and I don't want to see it as a chore.

So I'm saying a heartfelt thank you to my readers (I think it's mainly my Mum!) and I may well pop in again in some time - I'll keep updating my book list.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! May 2015 spread before you like a delicious blank page and may all your dreams be realised. 

Merry Christmas!

Hope you're somewhere wonderful with very special people. xxx

Bear, bear, bear

Just so much yes here. What a great print!

Delicious room layout

Such a soothing room - the light and the muted colours are so peaceful to look at.

Wall decal glory

Oh these triangles and golden accents make me deeply happy. Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Between the woods and the water

This. Forever. Between the woods and the water - so perfect!

Gooold!

Well this changes things. GOLD Hasbeens. Of course they're not in my size, but if they fit you, just do this, please, for all of us.

Charlotte Love

Isn't this a gorgeous colour palette? The pink, white and black really jump out at me in an amazing way.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

I haven't raved about a book on here for a while, but this was a particularly awesome read. Super clever plot, beautiful, aching writing and just an exceptionally clever idea. Loved it.

Klas Fahlen Letterpressed notebooks

Ooh hi pretties. Some lovely letterpressed notebooks coming out of Chronicle Books at the moment and I love the mid-century feel of these ones, especially.

Marimekko Räsymatto plate

I just want to extol the virtues of this plate. I have only one and not a whole set (yet!) but it's just so great. It's bigger than a normal side plate, but not a full dinner plate, and somehow just holds everything you need. It's also just a pattern I never tire of - I have been known to use it, clean it and use it immediately again, just because it's that good. I think it's time for the set...

Pens galore

I will never tire of sets of pens like these. Arranging and arranging in colour - just spectacular.

Geometric Foxy

I don't really wear brooches but isn't this one a sweetie? So geometric-y and foxy.

Oh sweet goodness

These boots are made for me. It's really all I can do to not dribble while looking at the screen.

House rings

Adore these house rings, inspired by antique Jewish wedding rings which are built to symbolise the love of the partners and the family home. Just beautifully done.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Thought this was a fun (and sort of spooky) garland.

Elegant Simplicity

I love, love this planter. It fools me into thinking it might be easy to make, but I suspect it won't be. Either way, delightfully elegant answer to getting ugly pots off the floor.

Tee hee

Love these light installations - such fun messages. It would be even cooler to have one that you could swap out messages for and leave for your housemate? I can imagine mine being sort of ridiculous but a lot of fun :) 

Amazing wall colour

Isn't this grey wall amazing? I love the way the yellow bounces off it - delightful.
