Happier

A very cheerful notion for my tomorrow. Found over at where the sidewalk begins via le love image.

Ragged swags

The tiny Hydrangea posy that I picked on a walk with my sister the other evening has finally hung its tired little head. Also been making a little progress with some new garlands, though they are more like ragged swags. Yes ragged swags with a twinkle here and there.

PS. For those concerned, the neighbors cat did not get wet : )

A cat is waiting.

It is hot outside.
Very warm.
Real close.
Grey clouds building.
Making it darker.

Out in the yard.
Not mine but someone's.
A cat is waiting.
A storm is on it's way.

I am safe and dry inside.
Waiting for rain to start.
One of my favorite types of Summer evening.

Homemade fun and summer festivities

I find wedding blogs so inspiring. These inspiration boards from snippet and ink are just fabulous! I so love the simple natural colours of the top board, but how summery and fun is the bottom pic?

Have a good day.

Home alone

Still home alone. Enjoying some time by myself. Everything is tidy. The washing up done. The laundry drying. I have even been bothered to cook a meal. The day is coming to an end, think I will watch a film and add a little port to my spiced berry cordial.

wishing you a good evening.

My aesthetic heart belongs to Galliano

He stole it in 1994 when I started college and purchased my first copy of Vogue for research, there blossomed a lifetime obsession with fashion, trends, design and the way everything looks. I have always been a vintage girl at heart. As a child I treasured (amongst other things) a tin of old lipsticks and rouge in gold cases that belonged to my great grandma. Always loved the lifestyle and fashions of decades out of my reach. Ball gowns and fur capes. Nights at the opera.

Each new collection by John Galliano takes my breath away. I don't spend much time wishing for things I can't afford but I would love so much to wear one of these outfits.

For fall 09 the Dior couture collection was shown in the salons of the Christian Dior headquarters, just as the clothes would have traditionally been presented to clients and the press in the 1950's. Vibrant colours, silk bows, draped satin, stocking tops and fabulous heels all with a backdrop of green and white ferns and flowers. Heaven.

If only I could

If only I wasn't working on Saturday. If only I could hop on a train to London. If only I could be drinking elderflower cordial and eating cup cakes.

If I was doing all these things I would be doing them here at the grand opening of The Selvedge shop. Doors will open at midday and you can find the shop at 162 Archway Road, London. N6 5BB. I will make it there another day.

sugar frosted

An abundance of beautiful sugar frosted whiteness is what you will find over at Mari Eriksson's lovely online portfolio. I think these images combined with your ideas, will help make the final decision for my new old chair.
