My weekend finds!





I am so happy today as I went to the Curiousity Haus Contemporary Craft fair and I picked up this AMAZING reconditioned typewriter from the 1940's! Swoon, I love it too much! It was by "Things we like" who are going to be opening at Hopkinson's Gallery in Nottingham. I also liked some of the things from Amy O'Connor, especially the picture photographed which you can buy here. I love this journal and other items sold by Stitches and starsand also the rings by Loree Bologna.

What I've been listening to this weekend!

I've had a chilled out weekend in the garden. Planting some new plants, mowing the lawn, and getting my place ready for a surprise party for my boyfriend, (he doesn't read my blog so I know I'm safe sharing this secret with you) In order to relax at the end of the days what better than a few bottles of beer and some old school dance music. Here it is, it's a treat.

Classic Teardrop Caravan




On the basis that I am not getting much closer to buying a VW campervan, I thought I may instead go for this Classic Teardrop Caravan, a fraction of the price but still oh so chic! Its available here.

J'adore ces livres



I have fallen in love with these recent purchases! Firstly the book, Everything is Alice, the wonderful book of makes. I am going to have a Mad Hatters tea party for my birthday so will be making tea set invitations, vintage cakes stands, "Drink Me" cocktails, teacup candles and fabric covered furniture. Don't worry I'll blog the results for all to see. And finally on my wish list is Decorate by Holly Becker and Joanna Copestick, this is the book from one of my favourite bloggers, it has to be seen to really appreciate it's beauty. When Liberty are a huge fan of this book, you know it's everything chic!

What I'm reading!


An absolute classic which I have heard people rave about but I had not read it or watched the film.... until now and WOW have I been missing out!! I can not put it down, American Psycho is brilliant! Graphic, funny and gruesome. I can't believe it has taken me so long to get round to reading it! Bret Eaton Ellis, you have a massive talent!
