Mint and Rose

A kitchen inspired by my favourite colour combination at the moment; mint and rose.

My favourite part(s) of the collection: The teapot is great, who wouldn't want to brew a cup of tea from this?! I also adore the industrial style lighting especially with the retro pink

Happy July!

Hello everyone,

Wow, isn't the weather amazing today?! Beautiful blue skies and sunshine and only a small breeze. It is beautiful out there. Really can't believe it is July, June seemed to flash by and before I knew it the whole month had gone, does anyone else feel that way?

Thank you everyone who has been reading the blog the last few weeks, has been great to see the stats showing people from all round the world reading my blog and put a big smile on my face.

I have been working hard behind the scenes with the shop recently and I am excited to be bringing a new line of tags out soon (you heard it first here!!).

Going to keep most of it a secret but they will include different colour tags as well as different designs. Eeeek, I am so excited!

Thanks again for reading my blog

Hope you all are enjoying the sunshine

The royal baby has arrived!

What a wonderful day....!
Congratulations to William and Kate :) !

Spent the last few days as everyone has, waiting for news on the royal baby. Yesterday was so exciting.... when news spread that Kate was in labour everyone was glued to the news and checking the news whenever possible! I have been trying to prepare for my next fair and have been out in the garden as it has been sunny labeling stock but dashing in for cups of tea and news updates. When the news was announced that Kate had had the baby twitter went crazy and there was such a lovely atmosphere here in the village. Flags have been hung out the windows of a few of the houses and everyone seems in really high spirits trying to guess what the name of the baby will be. Henry? George? Albert? Louis?

I thought she was going to have a little girl but was obviously wrong!! I think they might give him a modern (ish) first name and then family names from both sides for his middle names. Possibly George Albert for his middle names I think!

Switched on the news at 6pm today after being out all day and then back for a online lesson and reporters were lined up waiting for news on the baby, felt like forever that we were staring at those same doors of the hospital waiting to see the new baby prince. When the doors finally opened it was such a wonderful moment and so lovely to see such proud parents with their new son :). Love how he did his first little royal wave!! Certainly a day that I will always remember.

Got rather excited on Twitter (oooops!). Sorry for all the excited updates....what can I say....I was excited!! Also funny to see that London has been so wet and rainy today, it has been bright and sunny and beautiful all day here in Dorset. Was weird seeing photos of soaked reporters!!

So much excitement and happiness in the air at the moment :) it is lovely. Feels like it did around the royal wedding, the olympics and the jubilee :).

Summer is here!!

Hello everyone :),

How are you all? I hope that you have been enjoying the sunshine. Hasn't it been beautiful?! I have been sat out in the garden making lots of earrings and photographing some new bits and bobs for my shop. I have had such a lovely day. My freckles have seen the sun and have come out like crazy hehe :) ! Anyone elses done the same?! I am so excited about summer, can't believe it is June and summer is finally here. It is my favourite time of the year.

Trying to list lots of new items in my shop and yesterday I listed some little watermelon earrings. Today I was really thrilled as they got featured in the most beautiful summer treasury by a lady called Kate who is from Gloucester. So happy that my earrings have already been featured in a treasury and such a beautiful one as well. Big thank you to Kate for featuring me. Please be sure to take a look at her shop, she has some lovely things.

Thought I would share the treasury with you all so that you can all enjoy it. Doesn't it just make you want to go on a summer picnic!?
