Christmas in April

I knooooow these are christmassy, but i just HAD TO share them cause they make me smile and think about snow, hot chocolate, ginger biscuits, fleesy PJ's, warm duvets and ringing bells...with an EDGE hehee. Love it when photography and spaces stir emotion in me x n



These four walls....

oh, my dear friends, i will start off by expression my deep apologies for being so terribly scarce! My job can get very demanding at times..and the only reason i'm able to blog now is cause my dear boyfriend had to come in to work to do some stuff..so after a DELICIOUS Mcdonalds lunch..i decided to tag along and send some love and prettiness your way!

Ok, so i have been spending a lot of time on Design Sponge lately..they have a SUPER DIY section, so check that out, and they also have a categories list in which u can find some real creative gems. I have a huuuuge crush on wallpaper, as well as wall paper design! Id love to design my own range at some point in this short life.

Wallpaper has the divine ability to make any room look..well...just amazing!! From the simplest of simple to the most intricate of intricate, they brighten, they create mood and warmth and what a better way to create a little "world" inside you're own home? Let these gorgeous wallpapers inspire you, to not be afraid of those 4 walls that surround you ;) x n

Tea for two, two for tea.

I am an avid tea LOVER. Tea takes my problems away, it helps me sleep, it bonds me with my girls over many maaaany cups, sweet tasties and good conversation. I love tea, all kinds of tea and im not sure why im thinking about it on a 38 degree day, but maybe that just re-inforces my love for the delicious and soothing hot beverage. I came across these precious little tea pots, mugs and cosies and had to share. There is nothing better than sipping a cup of tea, made with love, out of a beautiful mug. These are exactly that. You can find these and more cutesy little tea party creations at Poppy Treffry. Today though, i think i'll stick to ICE tea x n

the kissing tree..

how cute is this? I came across a great blog called kiss the groom..and they have this little ornate "kissing tree" where you can go and write your name, your affection, and your partners name and it emails you you very own kissing tree. I was the 4570th kiss. Check mine out below, and yes, my bf's name is nic x n

Seeing as i work for a bridal magazine i spend a lot of my time on wedding blogs and sites and i am an avid lover of paper craft and stationary. I came across these letter presses on oh so beautiful paper and they are so elegantly simple yet just perfect and make me feel so warm and smiley inside.
