My Creative Space..

Posted on 12:30 PM by fdgdfg
Inspired by the beautiful maple tree in my backyard and the sweet little signs that Autumn may just be on its way, I'm already busy dreaming up new ideas inspired by the colder months ahead.

This is a wee prototype for a scarf I am working on ready for Autumn.

Featuring lovely cotton fabrics and backed with soft denim, I'm looking forward to wearing and making these to sell in my little Etsy shop over the coming months.

As I was taking these shots of Lucy (my lovely vintage mannequin) in the garden, I couldn't resist showing you another part of my creative space, my herb bucket.

We planted this basil in an old metal bucket when we first moved in and I just can't believe how much its grown in a few short weeks, it smells just fabulous. I really looking forward to creating our proper herb and veggie garden in the coming months.

And back inside on my desk..

Lovely magazine clippings in need of some glue and a moleskine, my wee granny squares are slowly growing in numbers and a lovely book I found in the library at work today, The Museum of Mary Child by Cassandra Golds.

To see all the beautiful creative spaces near and far pop over and visit the lovely Kirsty.

Much Love

A nautical quest to Paris...

Posted on 11:37 PM by fdgdfg
I decided this morning whilst walking to work that I would like to just pop over to Paris for the day, just for a little visit, to wander down Rue St. Andre des Arts to explore this wonderful little silver shop I found when I was last there. You see I'm on a little quest and it all started with this image..

I just adore this gorgeous anchor charm and I've been looking everywhere to find one similar. So far I haven't found anything quite as beautiful. There must be something very special about this anchor because last night I dreamt that I found the lovely charm, in my favourite silver shop on the Left Bank. So now I'll I have to do is jump in my little time machine and wing my way to Paris.

Oh how I do love to daydream.. If you happen to see a lovely little anchor on your travels I would love to know.

Much Love and Happy Wednesday

Wednesday Wardrobe..

Posted on 12:00 PM by fdgdfg
I just couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous images from the latest Anthropologie catalogue. How sweet is 50's proper? Right down my alley.. library books and all.

The delicate shrugs and hats reminded me a little of one of my favourite ever photo shoots that was featured in the film The September Issue.

Vogue photo shoot styled by the ever amazing Grace Coddington.

I just find 20's and 50's fashion so very inspiring. Which eras do you love?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Letters and Ink...

Posted on 1:06 AM by fdgdfg

Today my little desk is filled with letters, postcards and paper to be stained in ink. I'm spending the afternoon writing to some beautiful old friends and delightful new ones. I'm also beginning my second moleskine of the year. Ruby red for the month of love, I'm looking forward to exploring a new month of thoughts, ramblings and stories.

Happy Tuesday
Much Love

Delightful Dwellings..

Posted on 12:00 PM by fdgdfg
I had a completely different post planned for my Delightful Dwelling's Tuesday until I stumbled upon this amazing house over on the ever fabulous blog The Design Files. Lyn Gardener's Fitzroy home is just the perfect mix of femininity with moments of quirky design. The lovely white cabinet overflowing with pastel crockery is just so gorgeous, it makes me want to run out and begin a vintage plate collection. For more lovely images pop over to The Design Files and you must check out Lyn's fabulous shop Empire Vintage.
