BELLE & SEBASTIAN


I'm on holiday with Tom's cousin Molly. She's 10 years old and has got me very excited about Belle & Sebastian all over again. Their music is timeless and while I sit here in the Tuscan Hills, their upbeat folk couldn't sound more perfect.

APOLOGIES

Between failing driving tests (again), hound shows, time in Tuscany and a touch of this and that I have been appalling at posting and all I can do is apologise. I would like to hope this will never happen again and hope you can forgive if anyone is still reading this... 
Love Mrs. Alice xx

DOUBLE ENDED DELIGHTS

I'm sorry to be so dull. This post really is I am afraid... BUT If you are pen mad (like me) these Muji Gems are unbeatable. Double ended (one small nib the other larger) and in pretty much any colour you could wish for, taking notes has never been so fun.

I love it I love it I love it...
Valentino RED, (Valentino's diffuse collection) is SO wonderful. And its on sale NOW!!
I have been longing for so many of these things from this collection and am thinking I might treat myself to this 40% off opportunity. Their things are fun and young whilst being elegant and sopisticated at the same time. Made beautifully and sent from Italy (in the most beautiful box I have ever seen)...
I am, as my mother would say, 'Adding to Cart'.

BLACK & BLUM

Have you ever seen anything cooler?? 
The sun is shining so get your floral frocks on and get Barbequing. Black and Blum's Hot Pot Barbeque brings together your Herb garden and BBQ all in one... Looking like a terracotta pot it conceals a BBQ Grill underneath so you can grow your herbs on the top to season the food you are going to grill. I know!!! 
I am ordering mine now...

SCRAP BOOKS LIKE NO OTHER


Tom's mother showed me these scrap books in North Wales last weekend and all I can say is I was blown away. Dating back to the Victorian Period, three leather bound books were filled with the most beautiful prints, drawings and poems I think I have ever seen. They inspired me to do my own. One finds so many wonderful pictures and drawings etc. but it seems unless there is a reason to keep them we don't. Well I vow to start doing so... 


 
Poems and Christmas Cards

Wonderful Decoupage


 
Poems that were written out...

Water Colour Drawings 


 
My Favourite Pages - A mix of pictures, poems etc.
