Jubilee Party Finds

These finds from John Lewis and Very are perfect for a Jubilee Party. How are you going to celebrate the Jubilee?

Hanging Chairs

A hanging chair has been on my wish list since I first saw the Bubble Chair by Eero Aarnio. I would love to fill it with cosy cushions and hide in it with a good book. Do you have a favourite chair?

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!

It is on my to do list to go back to Brighton. I went for a Hen Do last year but only got to see the real Brighton on a mad dash round on the last morning. The beach was lovely all set out with stripey deck chairs.

Mini Desserts

I seemed to have pinned a lot of mini desserts on my Pinterest lately. Surely if they are this size there will hardly be any calories? (I wish). Above are a few of my favourite. I particularly love the little pots used in the last image.

How clever are these designs to let your friends and family know you are 'tying the knot'.

Wedding Inspiration: Cakes

I seem to be attracted to plain cakes with a textured finish that can be decorated with your own wedding flowers but I do also really like the bunting cake topper in the first image.

Words of Wisdom

My mum has always said that "you can only do your best" (usually at exam time!). I always hear her words in my head when it comes to exams, interviews and everyday challenges. POSTER DESIGN by David Pearson, a London-based designer.

Garden Plan

This is such a good idea - a website to plan your garden for you. It is only availiable for gardens in the US though! I hope someone designs one for the UK very soon. Smart Gardener

Upcycle

How good is this for another use, I think it is great and so quirky. By Artist Benjamin Bullins, image found here

Place to Visit: San Fransisco

My Mum has just come back from a trip of a lifetime and visited San Fransisco. She has definately made me want to go and it is now on my wish list. Photo's from top Houses, tram ride up the steep hills and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Too many ideas for gift wrapping, I am spoilt for choice!

Spring is definately in the air, the sun is shining and the daffodils are in bloom. I'm going to go on a nice long walk and tackle my garden this weekend. Have a good one!
