RE: found Paper Snow Flakes

In a previous post I mentioned with glee, that we are spending Christmas in our home this year. We'll go to Church in the morning, eat a fairly traditional lunch and then have three families joining us for fun and games! Today I thought, I may as well start putting a mood board together for the seasons celebrations.

Moo Mini Cards

So excited, my mini cards arrived yesterday morning! I love them...I am pleased with the quality and affordable pricing. Also I snapped this on my Leica D-Lux as I haven't used it for a while.

Flora Douville Giveaway

The talented Flora Douville is giving away one of her 2010 calendars. I have been a big fan of Flora's illustration and photography for a while now. So on this wet and windy day, I have entered this giveaway in hope of winning! But seriously if you get a chance to visit Flora's blog please do or click on the top image to take you to her Etsy shop!

Surprise Delivery

What a lovely surprise! My ever thoughtful mother-in-law, sent us a gift this morning. Other than a photography book, I haven't been expecting any post. So I signed for the parcel, very excited about the little surprise that someone has sent me. It was a sack of woodland fragrance kindling for our new wood burning stove. A simple gesture, but so lovely to receive.

Scratching my Itch

Maybe it was Juergen Teller or the early Corinne Day whom influenced my love for realism in fashion and interior photography. In honestly I cannot remember, maybe it was always there, as I spent hours pouring over my late mother's photos passed onto her. I remember the first time I couldn't stop looking at Corrine's first photo shoot for ID. Then the likes of Misha Richter and Valerie Phillips were on my wishlist. The above images are from Erica Tanov collections shot by Erica Shires. Another photographer that makes me stop and think hard about scratching my itch.

Through a shop window

The other day in St Leonard's we stumbled across an interesting shop. The shop was closed and seemed to be a place that had a very sparse layout. I was so intrigued I took some photos but failed to note the name of the shop!

Oh Pretty Ones

Thanks to the ever inspiring Amy over at all the Mountains, I have got the urge to do a ceramics course. The above are a collection of pretty porcelain designs by Samantha Robinson who has also fanned this desire. Please visit her website for further information, simple click on the above images.

Little Boots

We finally made it to St Leonards on Sea. I have been on a mission for a while to acquire the Aardvark Manifesto, which now proudly sits frame on my desk! However most of today was spent on the Beach....LV and her little wellies!

Scenes from LV's Room

With shades of pink and lots of texture, LV's bedroom. I spent an hour of today wondering our house taking photos and making the most of the natural sunlight.
