Speechless...

After a mad-crazy few days I was quietly catching up on all your blogs, and I came across Mrs French's post on Whitepod, and was rendered speechless. Hop over here and have a look - those pods are the coolest thing ever!

What:nots...

Hello there. I hope the sun is shining (literally or figuratively) in your neck of the woods. We're taking my family out to the coast for the weekend - I can't wait to escape the city and spend time near the sea. And since I've yet to start packing, here's a very brief what:nots - enjoy!

Sweet image by Toast found via Blue Pool Road.

Lovely little toe clips from Linden Lovebirds. Aren't those shoes a gorgeous shade of green...

Tsuyoshi Hirano's simple, modern watercolours. Art Onion Press has published a wonderful little book of his work.

A pretty little bird made by Fern Animals found via the lovely Bliss.

Hana Blomst's elegantly simple maple plates.

Loving Moonstruck's packing design on their Single Origin range.

Joyce Tenneson's wonderful sepia images. Aren't gardenia's the loveliest flowers?

And a clever idea from Up Up Creative. For those times when life just feels hard, and trying to get through the days is a struggle, Julie creates personalised 'to do' lists that help you take things one at a time.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

A little bit of pretty...

...for your Thursday (or Friday). I hope it's going well.

Molten lead to liquid light....

"...there was a deep pleasure of doing a stroke with increasing ease and speed, over and over, till hypnosis practically, the water turning from molten lead to liquid light..."

Don't you love swimming? I love this quote from Life of Pi. I always think of it when I'm swimming - it so completely sums up how I feel. Bliss! Hope you're having a lovely Tuesday.
