inspired weddings

Is another book lying on a side of my bed. I enjoy flicking through the pages, reading ideas and tips. Beautiful book about wedding styling. Matthew Robbins picks certain object as a painting, french candy, a cup or shells and creates a theme based on colours and textures. There is 9 themes, and it tells you everything from who could it be for, when is the most suitable to use the theme, food tips and styling, table decoration. A must for a wedding stylist and someone who's planning to design their own wedding. Just really pretty! 

Inspired Weddings by Matthew Robbins

stylist's home

Like any other stylist's home this house is full of vases, ornaments, cups and plates. But beautifully placed with limited colour background they create calm and cozy place to be. Love the chocolate brown with white, nice change to b&w.... full home tour here.

fletchers nursery

Hello! we are back from Prague where M. ran marathon last weekend. We had a great time with our family and also made small progress on our house in countryside. Oh what a joy to deal with builders! Back to loads of work, which feels good, and today attending a wedding in typical English small village, hopefully the weather stays ok. But on a completely different note, this room belongs to Fletcher, whose mum used our You are simply wonderful poster in his new nursery. What a stylish place for a little boy. thank you! to see the more photos head over here.  the place was also featured here.

we are family...

The weather in Uk was just horrid last couple of weeks so one afternoon last week I decided to pull out a large canvas which I was keeping for "one day", when start painting again, and told A. she can paint whatever she wants. At first she was a bit hesitant as it was a quite large space to fill but once she got Gruffallo to help her, she was fine:) Of course I controlled her a bit:). There was a limited colour choice and I tried to encourage her not paint everything black and pink. I really enjoyed teaching her long strokes with brush, mixing colours and it was just great fun. In the end she wanted to draw our family. Surprise! and I ended up being the fattest and tallest one! not true!! although it feels like it today after not moving all day...

what are you wearing this spring?

Yesterday I tried to persuade Anya (almost 4) that being cool is better then being just pretty. She was refusing to wear something I chose and was desperate to wear  a pink skirt which is becoming very small but still her very favourite. It was something like that:

me: "can you wear this please?"

A: "no I want to wear this pink skirt !" ( pulling out skirt which I hid at the bottom of her draw)

me: "come on, you wear this all the time... this is (pointing at skinny jeans and in my opinion very cool top) much better, it looks really cool!"

A: " but I don't want be cool! I want be pretty!"

me: " but being cool, it's better then just being pretty........blah blah...etc.

It's sometimes hard to fight with Barbie, even if the only one we have at home is on DVD and is a surfer...so sort of cool:)

lack of sleep

Do you like to sleep ? I do. A lot. But since having A. and starting my own business I just can't get enough. Very late nights, early mornings, it's just killing me. I got used it  but every so often I wish I could stay in bed all day and read books, laze around and dream. But hey...having a child and business was my choice. Yesterday, while taking some new photos for my shop I decided to lighten up our bedroom a bit. Black and grey out, more white a bit of pink in. Now, what am I doing? I should really go to bed...sweet dreams.

love for textiles

Is a title of a book I have been  enjoying flicking through. It's full of relaxed, laid back styling and has beautiful summer feeling. Created for Ikea family it has loads of small fabric projects but mostly very pretty photos. art director - hans blomquist.

first anniversary - paper

These have been the most popular anniversary gifts from our shop in last couple of weeks. Grey hearts for her and Favourite song book for him. We have made quite few of this one lately, the most popular choice is on charcoal background and with a black frame. I came across so many lovely lyrics and interesting song choices. I hope they make our customers happy. 

wish list

These are some things I have been coveting lately...more on my wish list and link to these products here.

On a completely different note, on Friday we went with M. for dinner and before to see exhibition of Damien Hirts. This blog is not too much about exhibition reviews but lets say it was definitely a talking point for us that evening and and yes I agree with loads of the comments from here. If you are interested other article about him also here.
