books

Sometimes I do projects, actually I do quite a few projects. This year one of my new year's goals is do document some of my creative outlets, in order to preserve and remember the things I do. Here are some notebooks I made a little while back. The pages are a made from a combination of collective papers: some textbook and basic, some textured and rare; but my favorite pages are the magazine tears...placed for beauty, style and inspiration.

Growing up my Mother was obsessed with this store. Our home looked like a Laura Ashley catalog, and me and my 2 sisters wardrobes were no exception.
The highlight of the shopping year was their big preview night; where we 3 little girls were allowed to stay up late on a school night, to try on countless outfits in a posh dressing room.
Needless to say this store was part of my 1980's childhood, but while browsing their website today, I see they are defiantly keeping up with the times. I just love these lampshades, so chic, clean and white.

every gal needs a pick-me-up now and then. 'Friday's Child' had a 2 hour spa session last night, how'd you like the results?

Brock and I are planning an adventure. We leave for a long trip home to England + Ireland in 1 week, 1 day and a couple of hours. The trip can't come fast enough (I find myself looking at my clock every 15 minutes). When I close my eyes I can already see the vibrant greens of the countryside, taste buttery toffee, and see giggling faces of little nieces.

Today while daydreaming of home, I was thinking about all the great things this little country has to offer, and what delightful shopping trips I have in store.

Here are just a few:

Hunter Boots: good enough for queen Lizzy = good enough for me.


Burberry Bibs: snobbishness at it's best...love it!
Wedgewood: Style meets Function.
Thornton's Special Toffee: heals any shoppers sugar low.
Walkers Shortbread: a buttery nostalgic dream.

Penguin Classics: an instant transformation into a more civilized world.
Bentley: I can't type (I'm drooling too much).


Peak District: the most beautiful place on earth...home.
