In a week or so I will take possession of my first ever art purchase – 3 beautiful framed photographs by amazing photographer and travel writer, Cherina Hadley. I met Cherina through The Coffee Fairy and saw an exhibition where these prints were displayed and, for various reasons, fell in love with several of them. [...]

Freecycling addiction
Posted in Something thrifty this way comes, tagged freecycling, furniture, Pretties on March 13, 2012 | 2 Comments »
In spite of my good intentions to not collect any more freecycled items… …and not 5 hours after the occasion of me firmly telling the Sea Capitaine that I would not, and I mean not, be collecting any freecycled furniture*… …I managed to collect an immaculate condition 50-60′s day bed with storage underneath. I know, [...]
Want? Knitted pouf
Posted in Want?, tagged Accents, Pretties on February 25, 2012 | 2 Comments »
While I am actually gunning for a plainer knitted pouf and have been dropping copious hints to my little sister and two of my friends who knit (I have even found free patterns FREE. PATTERNS; to help with this), I may have to change the scope of my hints as of today. Because who doesn’t [...]
Happy HipsterMAS

It’s that time of the year again. The time to crack open a bottle of champers and decorate the Christmas tree. This post is a little belated as this year I managed to decorate my tree on the 1st of December, rather than the night before Christmas. This year, as with previous years, while the [...]

It’s been horridly humid in Perthfordshire this week – even thinking causes one to sweat a bucketload. This has put a minor crimp on housie activities, since they also involve not only thinking but doing stuff. Call me crazy, but I can deal with the hot burn of the Perth summer and I can do [...]
Happy Stylemas

I’ve been a bit remiss posting this year’s xmas decorations @ casa moi. I actually only finalised them on Christmas Eve, when I whipped up a tree topper from Fantastic Plastic and a star template I found online. After last year’s Pretty-in-Pinkmas, I decided this year was either going to be mid-century-modernmas or subdued-stylemas. Due [...]
Cuteness: The Cat Diaries
Posted in Randomness, tagged Pretties on December 20, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
As the minion of two feline overlords, this short film was interesting. It’s a cool project overall: take x number of cats, and attach movie cameras to their collars, and edit footage into cute film, and apply visual effects + cute soundtrack, and give insight into the arcane mysteries of the cat world when owners [...]
A peaceful corner

I was given a beautiful present by two of my booooos. It’s a lovely brass bhuddist statue and they bought with them all the way back from Bali. If that statue could talk, it would have some tales to tell, methinks. In the meantime, it is hanging with the peace lily and giving my hallway [...]
The Days of our Chives

Like sands through an hourglass, so are the days of our chives: My chives have been blooming over the last couple of weeks. Not the showy white blossomed garlic chives in my planter boxes, these are the proper chives. With purple bobble-headed blossoms: I actually wanted to call this post Sir Chive-a-lot. And start it [...]
In planter space, no one can hear you scream

I’ve managed to tick another thing to do off my list of things to do. Or should I say, off one of my lists of things to do? Because there are many. And they change. And multiply. And get longer. My things to do lists are more prolific than the breadth of lists created by [...]
