Have a bouncing good day...

Just 'cause.

I can't decide...

I can't decide if I want a pumpkin or if I want to be a pumpkin...

Little somethings....

It's been forever since I spent a day (or week) lusting after little somethings on etsy. It's the perfect way to pass a day of computer chores that are really dragging.

This beautiful notebook by Pumpkin Sputnik might inspire me to do something more creative than ogling little somethings...



I love this super shiny papier mache bowl by Up In The Air Somewhere

I thought that this great card by Sugar Street Cafe said 'Let's get old and stinky together'. I kind of wish it did.

Common? Or classic?

I've dreamt of a necklace made from sea glass for the longest time. I never imagined a way that one could be elegant, rather than homemade though. This is the necklace I dreamed of...

I like this stegosaurus.

I can't decide if this pretty organza hair flower is too peach? Perhaps it would suit someone with dark hair better?



I didn't love this enough to be a wedding ring, but I love it enough just to be a ring ring.




I've always wanted a perfectly round locket. This one is round, and perfect.



This Caribbean Droplet bowl With Hole is fabulous. In a fit of boredom I might have bought myself a very similar one earlier today...

Procrastinating....

"I'm afraid if I shake it too hard the glitter will fall off."

East Side Bride, on A Practical Wedding.

That's why I'm struggling to write about our wedding. There was me thinking that I was just a lazy bastard, but actually I'm scared I'll rub off the glitter. I just didn't know until East Side pointed it out.

Falling in love...

I bought this card for The Boy a month or two after we had started going out. I never gave it to him. It wasn't an easy time, I wasn't the most trusting. I was scared of falling in love but what fool wouldn't be? Look how far there is to fall if you can't quite reach....

I kept it to remind me that the leap was worth it. That although it was terrifying the exhilaration of letting go and the deep relief of finding those hands,of catching and being caught would be everything. I kept it because looking at it made me aware that not letting go, allowing him to hand there upside down while we swung away from each other again would break both of us, that there wouldn't be a second chance, that only one swing would bring us close enough to catch hold of each other.


This little card says more to me about love than the oldest oil paintings, the cleverest poems and the most heart wrenching love songs. It says love is a leap of faith and only you can decide whether or not to make it.

Lovely dress, lovely lady, lovely morning....

Doesn't she look like a Greek goddess? Or perhaps a very stylish Oscar winner?

Kristina (of Lovely Morning) has picked what looks like the most simply stunning dress and I can't wait to see it from the front. Guessing from her stunning invitations and generally exquisite taste I am imagining it will be a very stylish affair.
