Lovely Soreen

About a month ago, a colleague offered me a slice of Soreen. I accepted, curious to try this 'Soreen'. That night I bought 2 loaves and scoffed them within 2 days. It tastes like dense, sticky heaven...and it's full of raisin therefore I consider it healthy. Despite loading each slice with butter. Mmmmmmm.

Next I must try it with cheese!

Stuff I hope to get for my birthday....

The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter (with the wolf on the cover), Beautiful Polka dot dress from Dorothy Perkins, and Cream Puffs from Beard Papa :D These would be the perfect gifts! Maybe I will buy them for myself. . .

Brat and Suzie

I want this shirt alot. It's red, it has a squirrel on a bike...

Brat and Suzie do lovely illustrated shirts, I spotted them at the Bust Craftacular event in December..so hard to resist spending money. I fell in love with the squirrel, hope I manage to buy it soon!

Monika Filasiewicz

My lovely friend Monika takes stunning photos and I'm very lucky that she has agreed to photograph my wedding :) She has a knack for composition and colour and capturing people looking natural and beautiful. Her photos are only up on facebook I believe...but hopefully she will have a public gallery soon...

empig & stupig are to wedpig <3

I've not posted much lately, partially due to extreme engagement excitement. All I'm really thinking is wedding right now....so my posts will be a bit wedding themed for a bit.

It's going to be in autumn amidst fallen leaves! :D Reception is in a pub with a hog roast, and as you see from my little mood board, primary colours and jamjars galore!

I'm very much looking forward to decorating the pub and making all these bit and pieces. It's going to involve a lot of paper, cutting, folding and ribbon!

I'm also making my own dress but I guess I won't put any pictures up of that in case Stu looks :)

Beautiful computer images of flowers.....I don't understand how it's done in the slightest but it's amazing. There's no getting bored with nature is there, there's always something fascinating and wonderful.

Surface Stories Pop up Shop

Camden Council is opening a new pop-up shop at 54 Tavistock Place, WC1H 9RG , and we are holding a launch event to mark the opening of this very exciting initiative which uses vacant high street shops as galleries until they are brought back into commercial use.

The current installation titled ‘surface stories’ by a group of young designers will be showing from 28 September until 15 October. You are invited to attend a private viewing of works on Monday 5 October from 6pm.

The shop will then be open Mon - Sat from 11am - 5pm until 15th October.

The designers exhibiting in the gallery for the duration of the installation are:
