to do lists

folksy shop

How's your January going so far? I know it's not most peoples favourite month, but I always think it's a good time to make plans, sort things out, make lists and look forward to the nicer months ahead.

I love buying new stationary and I've just bought a diary for 2014, I have so many notebooks it's ridiculous but I find I'm always jotting down ideas, places to visit, wish lists, new designs and general 'to do' lists, whether this makes me more productive, I'm not so sure...

I have just opened up a Folksy shop, have a look here. I'll be stocking it with lots more handmade items soon and I would love to sell more work online this year. Do you have an online shop, where you sell your own work? If you have any tips or advice, that would be great!

a new year ..

home home

Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed yourselves...
Yesterday I spent the day cleaning the house from top to bottom. There is something satisfying about starting the new year with everything looking fresh and clean. We had friends over for the evening and I lit tea lights around the fire place and we drank wine and ate lots of yummy food before heading to the local pub to see the new year in.

I absolutely love this necklace and earrings from the vamoose, There are so many beautiful pieces on the website it took me ages to decide on these ones. The stone on the necklace is a pink opal which is my birthstone, so I felt it was made for me..I already have my eye on a few other earrings.

Another beautiful thing is this Kinfolk Table Recipe Book which I'm reading from cover to cover. I have only just discovered The Kinfolk Magazines and have bought a few online. I find them so inspiring and all the photos are so simple but lovely.

Well here's to a wonderful new year ahead. It's been great sharing my 2013 with you all. Thank you xx
