My Creative Space..

I love that in the busiest, most hectic moments of your life you always have ideas. It's like a little part of your creative soul wakes up when you are really busy and decides to come out and play. I have had wonderful and bustling week creating a new collection of brooches for Georgie Love which are available now and I've also been busy with new and crazy ideas. My creative space changes daily and this afternoon it looks like this...

Inspiration board and journal, my lovely vintage box filled with letters from Courtney, new projects and a stash of books ready to be recreated.

My lovely friends at Readings have done it again, they manage to have every book I could ever dream of and they deliver to my mail box in days. So fabulous! I'm totally in love with this amazing little book, Paris: Made by Hand written by the gorgeous Pia Jane Bijerk.

A new little collection of brooches I am working on for Spring, featuring flowers handmade from vintage book spines. They are the 'Book Blossoms'.

Much achieved this week, but as always plenty more to be done. I was very much hoping to reopen my Etsy shop this Saturday, but due to some sneaky new ideas blooming and not quite enough hours in the day I will be reopening on Sunday instead, with lots of new pieces and a giveaway. Be sure to stop by.

Wishing you a lovely Thursday, make sure you head over to the wonderful Kirsty to join in the fun and show of your own creative space. Also you pop over to Megan's a check out all the lovely photos in August.

Much love and thoughts of Spring

Day Five - Pages and Pages

I just love an afternoon that involves searching little old second hand shops for books. Rummaging for beaten hard covers, tiny inscriptions and secret treasures within the pages, there is always something beautiful hidden amongst the shelves.

'Pages and Pages'

I also couldn't resist stopping by the bookshop on the way home for a browse and was so delighted to find a copy of Velvet Pears by Susan Southam just sitting there waiting for me. I have been searching for this book all year and can not wait to catch a free moment in my week so I can pour over the beautiful pages and stories of Susan's amazing world and my very favourite garden Foxglove Spires.

For more photos in August pop over to Megan. I hope your Wednesday has been delightful and that the beautiful full moon this evening inspires all things creative.

Much love and well read pages

Day Four - Alice's Tea Party

On my way home from work this afternoon I found Alice and the Mad Hatter having a little tea party and invited myself to join the fun. We had a lovely afternoon indeed and I wish I would have stayed in Wonderland a little longer but it seems we ran out of sunshine and tea.

'Alice's Tea Party'

I hope you have had a lovely Tuesday, filled with lovely mail and sweet pots of tea. Check out a photo a day for inspiring and beautiful photos and wonderful moments.

Much love and tales from Wonderland

Day Three - Franco's Buttons

Whenever I delve into my jars and boxes to find the perfect button, I always feel like I'm searching for hidden treasure. Some days you just never know what you might find. Today I found a little old metal plaque with the name Franco embossed into it. It made my day..

'Franco's Buttons'

Check out all the other fabulous people playing along in the photo a day in August over at The Byron Life. I'm off to pop the kettle on and dig a little deeper into my button stash to find more treasures.

Much love and buttons

Day Two- My Spring Dandelion

I woke up this morning to clear skies and a glow of beautiful warm sunshine engulfing the backyard. And for the first time I felt that I might just be seeing the end of winter. As I sat at my computer desk and stared out the window I noticed a single dandelion basking in the sun, my first delightful little sign of Spring.

'My Spring Dandelion'

Join this lovely month of photo adventures over at The Byron Life, it is a beautiful opportunity to capture moments that might otherwise pass you by.

Much love

A photo a day in August - Day One

I just couldn't resist helping the lovely Megan from The Byron Life celebrate her new camera and just had to join her creative adventures of A photo a day in August.

I just love searching for beautiful little bits and pieces in life to photograph and have decided to concentrate my month of photographs 'tiny beauty'. My first photo is of my favourite little blueberry bush which flowering beautifully after all the frost we have had the last few weeks.

'Blueberry flowers'

If your camera has been collecting a little dust why not pop over to and see Megan at The Byron Life and sign up for a delightful and inspiring month of photography.

Much love and tiny beauty
