Oooo lovely magazine...

The autumn issue of 91 magazine has launched, and my my it's a beauty!

Soooo many lovely things; home, style, vintage, crafts, shopping...
The content, the colours, the beautifully styled photo shoots... what more could you want in one magazine?

Here are a few yummy pages to 'ooh' and 'aah' over and you'll find much more when you have a flick through the online magazine here.

Past issues are just as lovely too so why not have a look at the archives while you're there.

There's a lovely feature on neon meets pastels styled by Charlotte Love whose work is super stunning.

(follow Charlotte on her blog here)

Another feature in this issue that caught my eye was 'Take Note'.

A gathering of stationery...whats not to like?

Styling by Sally Cullen

(I love all the different background textures in these photographs, newspaper, brown parcel paper, wood textures...)

This is a nice read too, a visit to Paris, Le Marais, and an insight into charming antiques and vintage shops, primarily one called 'Au Petit Bonheur La Chance' meaning 'haphazardly'.

(wouldn't you just love to rummage around for an afternoon in here...?)

(All images from 91 magazine)

Theres much more to find and admire so pop on over, settle down with a cuppa and have a flick through, happy days :-)

enjoy

Postcards from Puffin...

I'm a regular visitor to Homesense (aka TK Maxx home) and love to have a good rummage to find little hidden treasures for our house.

( I love some of the random things you can find)

My recent purchases have been some beautiful Lisa Stickley mugs, cups and saucers and several hundred picture frames, mmmm.

I found this lovely little number last weekend and couldn't resist it.

They're a collection of postcards from Puffin, 'One hundred puffin covers in one box' featuring different and iconic book covers from picture books , paperbacks, teen fiction and classics, covering seventy years of design and illustration in one box, and they're super lovely!

Here's a few pics...

Aaah some fond memories...

James and the Giant Peach

Secret Garden

Fantastic Mr Fox

Alice in Wonderland

Chronicles of Narnia

and many more...

It can also be found over on amazon here

Studio Seed...

Oooh these are beautiful!

The lovely Tamsin of Studio Seed has launched a brand new range of everyday greetings cards called 'Fly Away'.

The cards have a lovely whimsical feel with a gorgeous mix of

textural floral prints and beautiful bird imagery,

and combined with her soft and sophisticated colour palette across the designs... just yum!

A few of the designs you can expect to see are wedding day, happy birthday, make a wish and feel better soon, amongst many others.

They are available to buy through not on the high street, and also in the Studio Seed etsy shop and big cartel shop so be sure to hop on over for a closer look...

Here are a few of my favourites...

Inspired by...Freya Art

How beautiful is the artwork of Freya Art?!

I absolutely love her designs and have done for quite some time.

I've recently noticed some new items popping up in her Etsy shop and thought I'd show a few of my favourites...
You can choose from large or small prints of her amazing artworks, greeting cards, wooden mobiles, aprons, tote bags, cushions.. soooo much eye candy to oooh and aaahh over, yum yum!
I need one of these prints in my life, but which one...

She's also re- designing her website at the moment but it's looking lovely even with just a welcome page!

Can't wait to see the finished site!

Anyway, here are some favourites (there are quite a few)

(all images taken from freya arts etsy shop here)

happy weekend all!

And its an extra specially long one, happy days :-)

Decisions, decisions...

(picture credits for above - top right / bottom left)

I am desperate to get a digital slr camera...

I soooooo want one!

I've loved photography ever since my college days and still love it now,
and I'm done with being a point and shoot kinda girl.
Not that theres anything wrong with pointing and shooting at all, I've been able to get many a good photo with the use of my trusty little digital Canon camera and not forgetting the iphone and all the fabulous apps you can get; instagram/ hipstamatic/ snapseed, etc...
They've both seen me through what I've needed, but I'm ready for a new challenge!

I'm always admiring other peoples handy work with a camera, and as many of you will know if you're a follower of mine on pinterest, I like nothing more than to pin some glorious food styling images, interior styling pics, lifestyle photos, magazine shoots or images that just make me stop and go 'ooooh what a beautiful photograph'!

So, I'm going to do it, after I've read endless reviews, and done my research, its decision time, and the big debate of Canon vs Nikon in the camera wars...!

Which to go for?

Oooooooooohhh.....

What do you own?

Any recommendations?

Canon is winning at the moment, thanks to friends opinions, my old school Dad and Uncle, bless 'em ('always Canon cameras and always Panasonic electricals!')

I'm currently having a play with my dads old Canon digital slr and its super lovely!
The image quality is beautiful.

So, watch this space.

I'll fill you all in when I've decided what to get and there'll probably be some serious amateur photography going on, so apologies in advance!
I'll try and document my attempts on here as I try and teach myself the ins and outs and goings on with white balance and shutter speeds...

I might even start with one of those 30 day photography challenges you see around pinterest :-)

So, in honour of this post on photography, here are a few beautiful images, styled or just naturally stunning, that I'm loving at the moment...

See more here...

Pinterest favourites...

Although I was a little absent from blog land at the end of July/ beginning of August, I still managed to delve into the world of pinterest occasionally and continued pinning loveliness I came across.

(still super addicted to it even after all these months!)

Anyway, I thought I'd do a little post with a few of my favourite foodie images from the past few weeks, there have been absolutely loads of beautifully styled imagery flying around over there...

so here goes... enjoy!

best of the foodie bits, nom nom nom...
