Hi! Well, what d'ya know, it's November already, this year is flying by! What with back to school, halloween, half term, a crazy 6th birthday celebration (and a slightly slower paced 35th birthday celebration;) ) it's fairly safe to say life has been busy around here. I've kind of been waiting for something to drag my blogging mojo off the proverbial sofa where it has been putting it's feet up for a while now, and here it is! Shiny new notebooks for the shop, and oh how much do I love that perfect Pineapple print right now!? :)

Hopefully they'll be in stock next week, please do stop by and check them out! :) 


9 Things I'm Thinking Right Now

Saturday 8 August 2015

It probably would have made more sense to be 10 things I'm thinking about right now, but when I jotted down the little things going around my head, it was simply 9, so there we are... 

BTW, I make no claims that these thoughts are deep, meaningful or interesting!

1. I really, really want to fly out to NYC for a holiday. Like now.


2. I'm really pleased with my new bedside table (Kilo, from Habitat by the way, in white)

3. I love our new dog, Ted, but he's a pain in the ass! No really.



4. Kids are tiring. Cute though!
 

5. I really want these sunglasses. Like badly.


6. I hope camping is fun next week - I really need to get organised. 


7. Is it possible not to buy any clothes, shoes or accessories for myself for 1 month? (And if not then do I have a shopping addiction?)

(No image, just see above, point 5.)

8. I need to eat healthier tomorrow


9. Maybe I'll get a new lamp for my bedside table...

I Heart Copenhagen

Wednesday 24 June 2015


Well, it's sure been a while. I think I'll just start all my blog posts like this now! I'd like to say I've been super busy or engrossed in something new and exciting, but actually life around here has been the norm. Some fun things have been happening too of course though. Like my wonderful husband surprising me with an anniversary weekend away to Copenhagen last month! Pretty awesome surprise I'll say, and somewhere I've been wanting to visit for ages. I've been meaning to share my trip on here since our return a couple of weeks ago, mainly because I just want to tell everyone how great Copenhagen is, but it's taken me until now to get my act together.

Here are some photos from our trip if you'd like to see.  I found the whole place just so cool - the buildings, the people, the food, the bikes. The street style was ridiculous - effortless, minimal, cool... But of course it was the one thing I couldn't really photograph without approaching random strangers.  But I did take lots of other pictures which hopefully give you a sense of the place. And sorry, there's quite a few, did I mention I loved it all!?

The streets and buildings around the Indre By area were great - a mix of apartments, businesses, and shops, this was probably my favourite area of Copenhagen.



Bikes everywhere!




Watching parents biking their children around in big bike carts was so interesting - some kids had cushions and blankets in there and were just snoozing! 


The shopping was so good, especially for homewares, obviously! This homewares shop was full of lots of things I liked and we ended up buying some neon orange flex for our dining room light fittings at home - snazzy :)









Just a few of the things that caught my eye - a whole department store for design-led homewares and interiors, I didn't know what to look at first! The HAY shop was fab and I loved the DLM tables and the wall loop hooks. 





On the saturday we found a little cafe for breakfast, it was so cute - we wanted to take this teapot, below, home with us!


By the canal that runs through the city to the river

The Black Diamond building, and below, the view opposite across the river



The harbour - too touristy unfortunately but still cool to see the iconic buildings along the harbour



Another pit stop for coffee & tea - my cake doesn't look all that appetising, but it was good - chocolate and nut rye bread. Quite bitter but nice with tea (and a few mouthfuls of Mec's super-sweet coconut volcano-type cake thing!)

On sunday we headed to the Design Museum - do you think I could find room for this chair at home?!

The ceiling in the entrance to the Design Museum


Danish open sandwich - rye bread, sliced beef, salad and peppers - so good!

We rode bikes around town one afternoon - loads of fun but not as easy as the Danes make it look! 

Dotted all around town, Joe the Juice was a great pit stop - this is strawberry, apple and banana, yum!

Finally, we couldn't help but smile at the sockets, like little happy faces! This one looked like he was wearing a hat!

I'm definitely planning to go back to Copenhagen again sometime, only an hour's flight, easy peasy! Have you been? I highly recommend it :)
