Cute & quirky - A little bird told me

I hope you all had a fab weekend, mine was a nice stay a home kind of one as I'm putting all my energy into this blog and trying out quite a few recipes. We've got the house to ourselves for two weeks and now the boy is back at work I can take full advantage of the laptop, surf the world wide web and fall head over heels in love with everything I can not afford (I clearly cant be trusted).. but anyway long my travels I came across these beautiful illustrated posters from A little bird told me: a South London based illustrator Bryony Fripp via Notonthehighstreet.com... Ahh you'll soon come to realise anything handmade tugs on my heart strings and these do exactly that *smiles*

Suitcase Heaven

Brace yourselves guys, you can now continue your obsession with vintage suitcases with this new leather suitcase furniture, Maarten De Ceulaer has just cleverly designed for Nilufar. I came across this while flicking through Flipboard and I just had to share it. I think this is so darn clever and I've never seen anything quite like it!

I think it's important to have things around us that make us smile and that's exactly what this furniture collection does. I love that you can buy a bunch of them to then switch around whenever you like: have them against a wall or in the middle of a room so they can open up on each side like this image above.

This would be perfect in an ultra modern open planned downstairs with wall length windows and white floors, you can picture it can't you *smiles*

This wardrobe is my absolute fav. Its brings me joy and you can't fight stuff like that, well I can't anyway.

Like this desk for instance could easily work in a children's bedroom or a home office. It's fun and practical, what more can you ask for?

Little things

via "Let's Go Anywhere." Neon sign by Sarah Foelske, personal project.

I love love love neon lights. They're everywhere at the moment and when we have a place to call our own I've kinda promised myself we (meaning I) will get our initials or a personal quote/lyric. He's so unaware of this but he loves me and doesn't really have a choice. Smiles. 

Happy Heart

There's nothing more that I quite love then humour. It's definitely the way to my heart so when I discovered Heidi Nicole's shop on notonthehighstreet.com I fell in love, her cards and stationary are everything I ever look for - hand crafted designs, subtle humour and heart warming thoughts.
