Sometimes I stumble upon photos on Flickr that truly take my breath away... and these photos by Andrew Millar taken with the newer Impossible Project films and a SX-70 have done just that.

The colours, tones, light and subject matter in these are just stunning and I always have a weakness for photos of horses and silhouettes. But it's the top right photo that's my favourite and it alone makes me want to try even harder to populate my photos and to capture the lovely little moments of interaction between people. 

To see more of Andrew's photos, check out his Flickr photostream (I highly recommend it) or his Facebook page - you won't be disappointed.

Two exciting new shops!!

It's not very often that I blog about online shops, after permenantly putting my Etsy shop on hold, I haven't had the enthusiasm for Etsy that I used too. However, yesterday I got very excited about online shopping indeed as two of my lovely UK blog friends Elizabeth and Zoe opened their shops and now I am very excited to share them with you!

First up is Elizabeth's new shop Three Jelly Moulds and a Wardrobe...

 

If you follow Elizabeth's blog or Twitter then you know that she has been putting her shop together for a while hunting out the perfect pieces for it and I must say, her finds really are lovely. 

With a combination of vintage and retro pieces and categories such as Kitchen, Fashion, Photography and also a great £10 and under section, this vintage shop has a huge selection of delightful pieces at great prices.


Next is Zoe's new shop, Ladybird Likes...

You may recognise this shop from my last Christmas giveaway. I was very excited about Zoe's shop then and now that it's open, I am just as excited about it now.

Like Elizabeth's shop, Zoe's shop combines a lot of my favourite things - cameras, brooches, birds, dogs(!!) and photography. With beautiful necklaces, stationary, photos and postcards and a huge variety of brooches, Ladybird Likes is a fun little shop, perfect for gifts, either for your friends or just for yourself.


Having had a shop once myself, I completely understand the time and effort it takes to put one together and to show your work well. Both Elizabeth and Zoe's shops look wonderful, have amazing pieces and they are both a true testiment to their hard work and skills and
 both are definitely worth a look around, enjoy!

(A massive thank you to Elle who pointed me in the direction of this post before I left, I highly recommend it, though it will make you want to go to Paris more...)

Oh my...

A while ago, Alyssa sent me an email with a link to this amazing print by African Grey Designs

And then I looked at the rest of the shop...

{How freaking cute is this one?!}

Oh my! I want everything!

I want them all!

Dane from Tornadoes and Tigers posted about these amazing little paper camera templates from Mel Stringer's Lil' shop...

and all I can think is that they would make the most amazing wedding favour boxes! Cute!!

Oh my...

Sugar & Hatter is the combined talents of two young(ish!) ladies from Norfolk - one of which I have the pleasure of knowing. Both have been making vintage inspired accessories since they were able to pick up a needle and thread and together they have opened a new shop of lovely hair accessories.

I was incredibly fortunate to get to wear a lovely felt creation by one of the ladies for one of my best friends wedding (over a year ago now?!) and I'm definitely buying something else for an up and coming wedding this month too.

As well as having a lovely shop, Sugar and Hatter also have a great new blog so check them out!

Oh my...

It's not very often that I reblog something on here but I am completely in love with everything in this home - the cameras, the dog, the gallery wall, the coat hangers... everything!!

If you haven't seen this post on sfgirlbybay featuring the home of Dabito from Old Brand New (my new favourite blog!) then you have to look, now! I insist. And if you've already seen it, look again... you may have missed something!

Wow. My house will look like that some day!

Oh my...

I love the new circle feature on Etsy... it's such an amazing way to find new things and Julochka (who also has a lovely blog) always finds the most amazing things including...

A camera set of japanese masking tape from FabHub!!

Um, wow! I need this in my life... in all the colours. Now.

You can add me to your circle on Etsy here - if you want to of course. I'd love to see what you love on there too.

Update: it sold! but dont panic you can get it on Cute Tape too.

p.s. you'll also see my almost unhealthy love of yellow and cameras in my favourites... my pinterest looks almost exactly the same, eep.

Oh my...

Somedays, I really struggle to think of something to blog - something that I actually want to share... My mood has always dictated how I work (which kind of sucks sometimes when I need to produce something amazing but I really don't feel like it...) but luckily (for us all) I feel like my mood is starting to improve...

and then, sometimes, I just stumble onto something amazing that has to be shared.

Pay what you want prints from Hue and Hum

Pixar stamps!!

Oh my, Oh my!

They aren't available until August though... sigh.

I can wait. Just. Eep.

p.s. Dear US friends, remind me in August to ask for your help to get some of these, I think I need them!!! Thanks.

p.s. Yup, I just got very excited about stamps... I also collect coins... who knew :)

Oh my...

I am completely in love with the gorgeous colours at Much Love Illy at the moment!

Oh my...

Oh my...

Oh gosh....
I want them all!

Oh my...

I'm feeling festive!!
It's the first of December, there is alot of snow in Leeds and I think the tree is going to have to go up tonight - I don't think I can wait until Saturday.

and... I found these amazing cards from Illustrated Cards on Etsy to help with the festivities as well! I may have ended up buying quite a few... I'm keeping them to myself though, haha.

I can't even decide on which is my favourite, can you?

p.s Feeling christmasy? Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a little christmas love from Me and The Dizzy Pixie!

Norfolk love on etsy...

Even though I no longer live in Norfolk, all of my favourite childhood (and many adult) memories are there and when I saw Sarah Culleton's Handmade Bags and Accessories etsy shop I absolutely swooned ... especially as it's postcards as well... seaside postcards are my favourite!!

Wish You Were Here Coin Purse... Great Yarmouth

Wish You Were Here Coin Purse... Hunstanton

Sarah's shop also includes some adorable brooches and hair accessories, but I think it's the Norfolk postcard coin purses that I'm adding to my christmas list!

p.s. I can't wait to go home to Norfolk next month now, hurray!

p.p.s. I finally put together an 'About me' page on here, if anyone is interested...

I feel like I should be wearing this today...

{The Perfect Autumn Ensemble by Pop Pop Portraits}

It's definitely feeling Autumnal outside!

p.s. Sorry for being MIA - I caught a rather nasty cold and am slowly catching up with everything...

p.p.s. Thank you for the amazing birthday comments, you guys are unbelievably fantastic!

Oh my...

How stinking cute is this card from Dude and Chick, I love it!

Thanks Alyssa for sending me the link :)

p.s. Project You is having another massive giveaway this week, as part of Spectacular September and you can win two of my prints! Check it out!!
