Secrets of a Butterfly

The flower show

Just had a browse of the new season fabrics at Liberty, and think its there best collection yet, i am so taken with these four.
The colours are just my favourites and I like both the ditsy floral and the meadow like designs.
Really would have so many ideas for these!

Pretty floral masking tapes!

I was browsing on etsy the other evening and discovered these new designs of masking tape.
I am so pleased that there are some pretty pastel designs coming through. It hasnt always been easy to find floral or ditsy prints. But now we are spoilt for choice...

Definately some to add to the christmas shopping list, for me, for wrapping with or for pressies!

ALL tapes from CraftyJapan with the pink purple set left at Pretty Tape

Precious pastels, in my world

 

Precious pastels

I am reading another of sarah addison allen's books, The Peach keeper.
I discovered you can read the first chapter of it on her website.
She incoporates a lot of the magical into her writing and things that happen have a meaning.
I like that about her stories, and yet at the same time her the characters are always so grounded and believeable.

A pretty mug i have had for quite a while (from John Lewis) and some of my bluebell essence,(i just LOVE flower essences) from Pacific Essences 

and after trying a few different pairs, i finally found a lovely floral skinny jean from Zara, most pleased indeed (smile)

love and pastelly wishes

Pink petals and sky

These photos are so beautiful, they are inspiring to me.

I know nothing about Fangchun15, other than these are taken in Japan.

 I found her work on flickr and just love it so.

I like it when i stumble upon someone's photos that speak to me.

I like it when i find prettiness and especially close ups of flowers.

shared with peaceful wishes and love,

Pearlised, pink & pretty

Paul and Joe nail enamels are my favourite, not only is the packaging the prettiest ever, but the colours are just right too. This is my latest buy, which i picked up on sale here. Its a creamy peachy pink ,a tiny bit pearlised, and the finish has a lovely sheen to it.

I havent painted my nails in quite a while so it was fun to try this new colour out and share it with you.

Spring time wishes

Spring time, the colours so fresh, so delicate and in so many pastel shades. This time of year after a cold winter in England, feels so precious. With new life blossoming and hope tangible in the air. I want to soak it up and let its magic help my heart. I have been listening to James Vincent McMorrow's "Early in the Morning", its a wonderful album, i recommend it.

Out of winter into spring

Walking out of winter and into spring, at least here in the northern hemisphere, the buds are opening and colour returning and there is an expectancy in the air, a warmth and a light returning,

Blessings to you today i hope your day is peaceful and fufilling in whatever small way or large way that you can make it, i wanted this post to lift me, and i wanted to share that with you....
