Plumo

Arrived home to find my new Plumo catalogue waiting on the doormat. So many pretty things in here, all their clothes have that little extra detail be it stitching or cut, these clothes aren't cheap but they are good quality pieces to add to your wardrobe, mixing the dresses with cheeper knitwear or inexpensive shoes, like these canvas pumps from Toast.co.uk can make an outfit a little more economical! But if its not clothing or lovely jewellery you are after step right up and start poking around the living section where you will find the delicate glass jars (above) perfect for serving jam or butter and these gorgeous bird canvases.
Better get back to reality and the apple pie that needs cooking, hope you find something you like over at Plumo

A bride and groom

So this wedding of ours is going to be a small affair, very small in fact, possibly a bride a groom and two witnesses type of thing. As I started writing THE list it all seemed to get a bit-if we invite this person you have to ask that person and so on and so forth. Then it ended up being stressful and not much fun. If you carry on like this in the end its not really how you would have chosen to spend your day but more a case of keeping everyone else happy.
I have always thought elopement was quite a romantic notion and I baulk at the idea of even as few as twenty people staring at the back of my head expectantly waiting for me to speak. So the fine details such as a date still need to be confirmed, work and other things keep getting in the way lately, everyone else seems to be concerned I wont get the day I want but I'm not a bride-zilla demanding a certain date, season or venue I guess we'll just see what dates are available, we are pretty relaxed about it, after eight years another few months shouldn't make a difference? So the images here are some amazing food for thought from the site of the exceptionally talented Rebecca Thuss. The weddings-parties section is packed full of such pretty ideas the possibilities are endless.
We like the idea of sending our family and close friends a handmade gift or favor that will arrive on the morning of the day we intend to get married. The family have been told of our intentions the friends haven't but that will be a sweet surprise in their mailboxes some day soon. I would like to create something that looks like an old family heirloom or a smaller version of that little box of memories Audrey tautou discovers as Amelie.

Chiffon joy

I bookmarked this lovely photo and post found over at creature comforts a while ago and thought it was so sweet, and accompanied by such a lovely picture. Just love the blue of the cup.
The small treasures in my home are this new spatula a friend gave me for my birthday and my bedroom lamp with silk chiffon shade. I love the cheerful yellow colour it always makes me smile as I pass by it.

Poetry

House, Sag Harbor, 1993

A derelict, turn-of-the-century house was originally laid out as a two-family dwelling. The complete restoration involved simplifying the sequence of rooms and creating a visual connection to the garden. An effort was also made to render the renovation invisible by reusing hardware and bathroom fixtures. Federal-style moldings and details were retained and integrated with the owner’s heritage of Scandinavian furniture and objects.

Sweet sunday

Sunny sunday spent drinking coffee and reading papers in the Oldtown with my sweetheart. With a slow stroll home passing estate agents row, browsing alternative home options. I like this sunday ritual of ours I know its only a matter of time before we see the 'one' and make another terrifying leap for a higher rung on the property ladder. Later a quiet evening at home spent devouring this pretty little cake my sister (thank you x) gave me for my birthday. Inside it was filled with more chocolate, glacier fruits and nuts, absolutely delicious! I implore you to get one for yourself or a lucky someone from Choccywoccydoodah. If I was having a wedding cake I would be sure to get it from here, magnificent works of art created from chocolate. A very quiet evening indeed, I think the jet lag has got the better of the boy and he has disappeared. Sleeping like a baby. He doesn't take kindly to me referring to him as 'boy' but until he becomes the husband, being younger than me he's stuck with it.
Hope your sunday was as sweet as mine.

8x8

Having been together nearly eight years we no longer have the need for a dinner service or crystal glassware, so combining my dream wedding gift of one of these delightful Fairies from The magpie and wardrobe and some of my favorite photos by Sandra Lane I have created something we do need, a colour palette for our special little day.
You'll find the breathtaking work of Sandra Lane over at Sarah Kaye Representation. Sandra's photo's with such exquisite content and delicate colours I could look at all day. I want to live in these scenes and feast on these baked goods forever, even though a diet of this much cake could leave me a trifle round! I think I first spotted these now highly coveted fairies many years ago as a how to in one of my mums old issues of country living. Over the years I have learnt more about owner Sam McKechnie within the interiors pages of various glossy magazines. She has a beautiful home and a lovely shop called The magpie and wardrobe The small London based company specializes in making beautiful things from antique and vintage treasures sourced in England and France. "The tiny flutterby fairies are made from antique French linen filled with lavender & rose petals - softly scented. Each fairy is hand-painted, is dressed in antique ball gown and adorned with antique and vintage flowers." So a mix of pale rose, antique gold, vintage china and old lace seems to be much present in all these images I think we have a good base for our theme. May have to tone it down a teeny bit as there is the small matter of the boy (home tomorrow horray) involved in all this and its our day not just mine : )
