I love...

TEA TOWELS!!! At the minute I keep coming across so many gorgeous tea towels...and I can't get enough of them! Mary Fellows has particularly caught my eye with her quirky and vintage inspired collection...they're too lovely to dry the pots with!

A little trip to Matlock...








I haven't posted in a while...SO much uni work...but let's not get into that!
To take my mind off it all the boyf took me to Matlock for the day- oh it was lovely! Enjoying the sun, walking along the river, a cheeky pint, some vintage finds, fish and chips and ice-cream to finish! Can't complain!

Hope everyone's making the most out of the lovely weather!

Put a stamp on it.


Finished my number of postcards and letters and will be popping them in the post box today! Exciting!

A glimpse of love...

Letter Love

Beautiful work of Ellie


Whilst I've had this blog for over a year, I've really (as you can see from my blogs) only been getting in to it since the new year. I am now addicted. Having been lost in a world-wind of cutting from blog-to-blog-to-blog for some hours, somehow I came across Ellie's. It's a beautiful blog and a must view!
Through her love of letters and post she's inspired me to get back into the beauty of this (sadly deprived) practice.
I began searching for old cards and came across an old Winnie the Pooh notelets box. Having decided I'd perhaps grown out of pooh bear and tigger I decided to recover it...



Having sifted through my craft box I found a number of beautiful vintage postcards and notelets which I filled it with..and then got myself down to the post office to buy some stamps!


I even made a few myself...

So, I've decided (whilst, perhaps it's a little late for new years resolutions) for a spring resolution (does that work?!) I'm going to stop chatting on facebook and texting so much and send some lovely post instead! Thank you Ellie!

And (for now anyway!) a few of these...

Yummiest.

Beautiful postcards by the uber talented Seventy Tree
