a lady? on a map

From My love for you.

oops, lucky baby

And I was powerless to resist this sweet sleeping bag and these glow in the dark wall stickers that say 'bonne nuit' with the filament of the light globe. Cute cute cute. Both from PetitHome.

and speaking of Sanna Annukka

I just bought this- for the baby's room. Absolutely lovely. And really only an excuse for me to have it for ... ME. And somehow it reminds me of these dinner plates that I grew up with. Dinner plates that I'd LOVE to have some of again. I look in charity shops and car boot sales- but thus far I haven't come across one..

Sanna Annukka

You are too talented. Via Nineteenseventythree

Brooks Bicycle Seats

So gorgeous. Unbelievable.

Water

St Ives made me think a lot about watercolours. I want to like them, but I don't. But there are exceptions, though not I found in St Ives- rather further afield, like this foxy by Diana Sudyka via Design is Mine.

happy saturday

Via GirlHula's flickr. Excited for the possibilities of Saturday despite the weather being officially poo. Grey poo.

Oh for endless funds

Dear Baby,
I have found some lovely things for your nursery.
Now if only I knew if you were a girl or a boy, I could make some purchases from here.
This patience business is tiring.
Love
The Mum.

Lunch time browsing

As I eat lunch, I'm often to be found browsing Tastespotting. It's like a double whammy. Eating with my eyes as well as my mouth. Dreaming of days when I can have such things as a Cucumber Gimlet- recipe in the link...


Or more immediately, I might make the Hazelnut Icecream next week when I'm here..

Luxuries I do not need but want

Oh, one of each of these polishes. I had planned to get the Particuliere, but the Tendresse is screaming at me.

Pencils and pride

OH MR! T won a D and AD pencil! I saw it in the kitchen the next morning and I nearly fainted.

Summer feet

Matchbox

From a Russian Matchbox. Reminding me of all these beauties- the subject of this lovely post.

Hotel dreaming

I want, I want, I want, to stay here. I wonder if we could get in one last Eurostar expedition before Tiny Miccup joins our life. I wonder what the weather is like in Brussels at the moment. I have to see those bathroom windows in person.

oh.

JKH, I can imagine you doing this one day. So many pretty shoes you've had in your life. You always find the best ones. From True Nature.

When I think of winter

Once upon a long time ago, Tori was IT for me. Whilst the crush has faded somewhat.. we have had a falling out over surgery, skinniness and wigs.. I can't look at these old images without slipping deeply in love all over again. Art directed by Cindy Palmano- for whom there is a distinct lack of presence on the internet. The Little Earthquakes album and it's accompanying music videos stand out forever as some of the most beautiful stuff my eyes have ever ever seen. True.

Uguisu

Oh, I'd like one of each, all and every thing on here. I think if I ever ventured to Japan, I'd never come home. All from Uguisu

itHouse

OH, I just read a post on a blog that made my heart lurch with envy. A dinner party, 30 strangers, a perfect house in the desert. I can FEEL what it would like to be there. Full post at Big Bang

Toast

So lovely, it looks made for dolls. From A Desert Fete, a lovely lovely blog.
