I have been asking my husband to be to put up a shelf in our dining room to display my crockery and other arty bits. I’m hoping this blog post will inspire him to get on with it! Haha!

This image is from a lovely dress designers blog call ‘up the wooden hills’

rafa kids blog

I came across this lovely blog today due to Agata, the lady who writes it, commenting on my blog. Rafa kids is Agata’s blog about the creative world for children. She is a Polish architect living in Holland and likes to design things herself. I found some beautiful items on Agata’s blog including the pop-up book below called “ In het bos van de luiaard”. I think it’s dutch but there aren’t many words so it doesn’t matter too much if you can’t understand them. The pictures do it for me.

My man (soon to be husband) and I would desperately love to expand the Trove line. Bookhou is a wonderful example of this. A husband and wife team based in Canada making beautiful handprinted items, they have a lovely shop too.

Sorry I haven’t updated the blog for a while, we have just moved house and don’t currently have internet access. It’s driving me craaazeeee! I’m at my mums at the moment using her wifi.

I will aim to get some photos of our house on here soon. were working on the garden at the moment as we want to grow some vegetables. Its all very exciting, well to us anyway.

we are also in the process of organising our wedding so I will tell you about that too when we’ve made our final decisions.

Anyway I found specks & keepings on bloesem recently. I liked it very much! Oh also my wallpaper was featured on bloesem kids a couple of weeks ago, only found out by chance. i was very excited! I seem to be excited a lot lately, haha! All the fresh air is obviously going to my head!
