unexpected gems

I love a bargain! Actually I think it's fair to say I only ever buy bargains. Sale items, charity shop finds and ebay steals are the way I role. Nick has only convinced me of the merit in spending the extra wack on a select few items. One of which being winter boots. I learnt the hard (wet) way but it took me 6 or so pairs over the years to wear down my resolve. Anyway, here’s a bright and cheery bargain to match the bright and cheery weather outside. Check out these fun cushions from Matalan for only....wait for it....£6! You could probably spend that on one quick trip to Tesco Metro on your way home! Brighten up your pad with this instant colour pop. Yay!

colour me happy

A few weeks ago, I felt particularly compelled to illustrate a flamingo in my lunch break. Pretty random huh?! Perhaps I was getting into the spirit of summer, who knows?! You can download this image as your desktop wallpaper (13" or 15") right here. Brighten up your background with this jolly fellow. 

don't wait for summer


Ok so we are still waiting for Summer to come and say hello but here are a few bright little things to cheer things up a bit. I have to say I've always been a big fan of a limited colour palette but I'm slowly starting to change my mind and embrace the rainbow!
  1. Mini lanterns from Typo
  2. Nail varnishes from Barry M.
  3. Bring back multi coloured sprinkles. They shouldn't just be reserved for kids birthday parties!
  4. Geometric exercise book
  5. Candy cracker free from Eat Drink Chic blog. 
  6. Pink luggage labels from Knot and Bow
  7. Birthday card from Typo
  8. Forget pastel macaroons, put a few more drops of food colouring in the bowl. Macaroons from this lovely blog.
