Inspirational Quote of the Week - Georgia O' Keeffe

Hello everyone,

Hope that you all had a fantastic weekend. Each Monday I am posting an inspirational quote of the week and today I have chosen a quote by the artist Georgia O'Keeffe (1887- 1986) who is most famous for her paintings of flowers. I hope this quote will inspire you this week.

What a lovely weekend by the sea - Hove for strolls along the beach followed by Sunday hibernating!

Good evening everyone,

Hope you all had an amazing weekend. I have been taking some time away at the moment and it was been lovely to relax and enjoy some time off. I had the most wonderful weekend and had family to visit. We took a trip to Hove and the weather on Saturday was a bit chilly but not too cold for ice creams and a lovely stroll! There are lots of beach huts along the sea front which have been painted in lots of different colours.

Love these beach huts and what a lovely way to spend the weekend walking along the beach with an icecream in hand. Shame about the weather today! #sunday #beachhut #beachlife #hove #beach #seaside #british #anglophile #colours #postcard #hove #sunshine #sunny #hoveactually #storm #thedorothydays #brightonandhove #sea

Today we ventured into Brighton to have a look at some of the vintage shops but the weather was awful. Being on the coast it was so windy and cold and was raining hard too so we abandoned the shopping trip early and came back for tea and treated ourselves to some rather naughty (but very very nice!) cakes and treats. It is the best way to cheer yourself up on a wet and cold Sunday!

On cold and wet Sundays the best thing to do is to hibernate, drink tea and treat yourself to some rather yummy cakes!!

Hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. Did anyone get up to anything nice?

Please let me know in the comments section below. Did anyone else hibernate and drink lots of hot drinks while snuggled in a duvet?! ....or was that just us?!

Wedding season is HERE!

Hello everyone,

Wedding season is here! There are lots of beautiful weddings happening at the moment and I have been working really hard making lots of tags for custom orders for brides and grooms for their big day. I have made a wedding themed Pinterest board with some of my favourite designs, products and inspiration for weddings. There is everything from dress to venues and cakes to wedding games on the board. I have also tried to include lots of Etsy sellers and makers as I love seeing other people's work. Please take a look and I hope you enjoy browsing through my board. I am adding new pins on there all the time.

Hope that you enjoyed having a look.

Happy June! Thank you for all your support

Hooray! It is June!!  I know I say this every month but it really does feel as if this year has flown by! Can't believe that we are now 6 months into the year.

This year so far has been fantastic so I am hoping the next 6 months will too! Thank you to everyone who has browsed in my shop, bought from me, messaged me on social media, and to all of you now who are reading my blog! I really appreciate your support. Last month I relaunched my Facebook page which was both exciting and nerve wracking as I had not been active on Facebook as a social media site for some time. Since relaunching I have had 100 new likes on the page which has been wonderful so an extra big thank you to everyone who has come over and taken a look at my page there (and if you haven't already you can find it here https://www.facebook.com/thedorothydays)

Bring on the sunshine, days lazing in the park and ice creams that June normally brings!

Today I have been....

…..eating ridiculous amounts of banoffee pie (it is just so good!), drinking lots of Earl Grey, meeting lovely local Etsy sellers, photographing new items for my shop, shipping orders off to their new homes and trying to work out why I have quite so many jumpers!!
