hot chocolate

becky and i were just craving a big mug of hot chocolate to ease our depression watching all this rain come down in august! reminded me of taking these little ladies for a hot chocolate and cookie at ebcb whis base, them all lined up on the leather sofa, playing with my camera and laughing at my hat hair and wanting to stay there all morning instead of braving the flurries.

do i have the guts?

these are so so beautiful and i do really want one, but just cant bring myself to pick anything or decide where.

carboot sale mirror...

this is what im aiming for with my carbooty mirror!

concrete walls?

really like these apartments! the concrete walls look amazing with the cool artwork and quirky pieces of furniture. but i do wonder if it would be too cold in the winter?? but maybe the key is a good carpet and some comfy cashmere socks!

for christmas i would like...

is he not the most gorgeous creature in the entire world?

i heart carboot sales

have spent a couple of lazy saturdays and sundays rummaging around carboot sales (hanwell/battersea/sunbury). If you can see past the formica and the smelly clothes and the strange people who you are buying from, then there are some right gems. Im pretty happy with the selection of things ive found recently, and i only spent £20 on all the things below! bargain bargain bargain!dried coral thats weirdly shaped in a sort of heart shape!
an old mirror that im going to sand a little at the back. i love the tarnished effect and think it will look cool on the wall even just as a piece of artwork rather than a mirror.
vintage french jar.
gold broach.
an old wine making jar that im going to use to collect pennies and £2 coins!
black skull candle that are currently being sold in the goodge street paperchase for £70.
gold leopard slinky belt!

gossip girl style

love her and love what they make her wear! i want both these outfits!

made in heaven?

i do like a good pair of made in heaven jeans. i have the oslo's in the best shade of blue ever!

mmmmm

new catalogue arrived on my doorstep last week, and i want it all! just need to fit in a snow trip now!

investing

i recently bought these items at a crazy cheap price in the sale. now i know i dont have a house yet, but im using this time to find things and invest my money that i may not have when im spending it on rent and electricity and internet etc etc! how gorgeous are they though. the glasses are made from recycled glass, and the plates are dishwasher safe! love em!

life?

has a way of working in some shitty shitty ways. it does make you wonder if everything was and is all set up exactly to run this way. or is it the way we treat the world, the people in it and the force of mother nature that determines our fortune. but then some things happen that are so so unfair that you wonder how the earth can let it happen to us, to them, to him. you never think, and you never worry, and then you feel your community and your extended family come together. but then you get scared that it will never be the same again.

my friends

i love that my lovely friend lucy over at mc headquarters sends me a little pick me up from time to time! x x x
