I can’t believe this is my first post of the year! September! Let this be a salient reminder that having having a baby is never as quick to recover from as you would initially like to believe. No sleep is no joke! It also means I haven’t read as much, visited as many exhibitions, pursuedContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”

I can’t say that last year went exactly to plan. Whilst it was unexpectedly hard, it was also wonderful, joyous and fulfilling. Reading over my post from this time last year has reinvigorated me and in that vein I am going to start again. Last year’s hopes and goals stand true for this year too.Continue reading “The New Year”

‘Love is a verb, it’s a doing word’. I read this great article about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe and her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, who has campaigned tirelessly for her release. On Mother’s Day it’s wonderful to know she’s finally back with her little girl.  I love the simplicity of this bracelet. I love all the wreaths fromContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”

It’s the first day of Spring and the Vernal equinox! Today both day and night are equal and from now on our days will be longer than our nights here in the Northern Hemisphere. The weekend weather has been beautiful and I’ve loved to hear the bird’s making such a lot of noise in theContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”

This week it feels like spring is finally on it’s way. These candles are beautiful! Really tempted by this cap for the sunnier days ahead. Absolutely obsessed with all things bobbin at the moment. Alfred Newall’s bobbin lamps started my obsession but love the idea of these bobbin frames too. This Charlotte Tilsbury Glowgasm BeautyContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”

I’ve seen their works shared and pieces and stories from each of them have really resonated with me so I wanted to share them myself. Maria Prymachenko (1909-1997) The destruction of a historical museum in Ivankiv which housed many of Prymachenko’sContinue reading “Ukrainian Artists”

On hiatus for the week …

Well last week’s storm was bad but this week has seen some absolutely horrific and shocking world news. If anyone wants to donate to the crisis I’ve used the British Red Cross.  If you are looking for some better news this week these are some wonderful Roman mosaics found in London. Again if you areContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”

Well what a week! I hope everyone managed to survive the storm relatively unscathed. It’s a short roundup this week but in this weather I have become obsessed with this sweatshirt, worn with these leggings which are relatively cheap, these which are more of a mid point option or these leggings which are a bitContinue reading “Weekly Roundup”

The snowdrops have been beautiful this week. I found and ordered this amazing print which I love as an alternative to a bunch of roses.  I really like the idea behind the collective which commissioned the print. Seasonal flowers have to be the way forward. Their flower subscription looks amazing as a gift for thoseContinue reading “Valentine’s”
