It was misty and rainy again today. I popped out to have a coffee with my family then dashed home. I have to admit I have been pretty much couch bound for the rest of the day, waiting for Dean to get back from an event. Seeking inspiration from around the world. I found some fun things to use as wedding favors today from Spoon Sisters. Plus I'm a sucker for a cute about us story and this one is real sweet.
I have been wearing a scarf and coat for the last six days. With that in mind, here are some of my favorite pictures from some clever flickr folk. 1. misread, 2. Autumn's Apple, 3. Autumn Ride !, 4. Untitled, 5. autumn palet, 6. autumn is a time of harvest, 7. pantone 199, 8. One Autumn Day, 9. pantone 7409
Thank you to all who participated in my giveaway, I am sorry that I didn't have enough flags to give one to each of you : (
Hello all, I had a brilliant bank holiday weekend, not that you'd know about it as there is no actual evidence, I left my camera at home.
Don't forget to pop over and leave a comment for My giveaway. Not going to be around for the bank holiday so closing day is tuesday and I will reveal the winners on wednesday. See you soon enjoy your weekend!
These stunning living arrangements are from the portfolio of
He has put up with a lot over the years. Never complaining when he has had to sweep the flower garlands out of the way so he can have a shower. Drinking out of polka dot bone china. His bedside lamp changing daily when I used to work for a lighting retailer. 
The truth I think is that our dream is now the same. I guess we'll buy somewhere a bit ratty and rundown and we won't have the help we had last time so it will be a slower process than our current apartment. But if when we are in the process it could look anything similar to this peeling glory, I know I'll be happy.
There's no stopping me now, sorry to all you summer people trying to keep the dream alive, but I'm in full Fall swing. Due to being sat in the firing line of the the air con and one of my colleagues locking my coat in a secure area today. I got super chilled waiting on the breezy platform for my train. So when I got in, I donned my cashmere cardigan and my chunky cable knit socks, grabbed my laptop and began my search for cosy home accessories. A log basket is a must, we don't have an open fire, but we do have an empty fire place that needs filling with some kind of warming feature. Plus here are all the other Fall items that I covet. (so far)
Inspired by my favorite, no, hang on a minute everyones favorite Uncle, and to say thanks for reading my blog and for all your lovely comments/thoughts. I'm going to do my first give away. During the major tidying of my creative space I found these flags that I made a while ago.
I know I have not been around so much this last week, but another first day at new job today. I have been mentally preparing (or ignoring and hiding from the fact until this very morning at seven AM!) Don't know why I do that? I seem to remember telling you this last time. I guess there's no point getting worked up with ifs this and ifs that though.
Carrying on my love for Autumn. Sunny or not too little too late, I'm over summer. Whilst visiting Moontree letterpress this morning. I discovered the link for these beautiful photos. Crisp leaves under foot and a big bowl of stew would perfectly compliment these heartwarming pictures from this project by kathleen Connally. It documents the residents, visitors, plants, animals, architecture, landscapes and farm life of Durham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania where Kathleen lives. I think I would like to try a project like this about east sussex. Photography is a tidier form of creativity which I am keen to better myself at. Less glue and pins to get stuck in my husband bare feet if he braves the house without footwear.
Remember when food looked this good? Me either! I just love vintage cookery books. Found this one in a local antique store. Those little prawn stuffed tomatoes look so cheerful. Maybe a little weird but definitely cheerful. I wont be reconstructing them. But I'm thinking the domino biscuits. Happy tuesday.
Saturday was perfect sunshine when we left home. Arrive at destination, heavens open up. So, just like Granny used to, we enjoyed our scones and tea in the car until the rain stopped long enough for us to brave a walk along the Whitstable beach front, look in all the pretty shops and visit the farmers market.
