Rose Covered Arbour

I dream of having one of these in my future garden... a little corner where I can escape to, maybe with someone I love, or just by myself... smelling the smell of roses, basking in the evening sunshine... maybe reading a novel...

Ahhh dreams...

I am loving beautiful 1950s dresses, and pretty earrings at the moment. I found a few online and had to post them. I think the earrings in particular are gorgeous and would love to wear a dress covered in sunflowers!!

5 things of this week...

images: google

Hi everyone!

As its now March, and we actually are beginning to have sunshine, I have been dreaming about summer freedom....

For me this means eating strawberries in the sun, making daisy chains in the park, wearing pretty jewellery (like the gorgeous Cath Kidston flower locket ive just bought!), sitting by a beautiful beach.....and reading a novel that takes your mind away into other worlds.

What do you dream of?

My book buying habit and the end of a wonderful week!

image: google

Hey,

This post is very random!

After a day learning about Japanese Noh Theatre, I am home and relaxing. I just watched possibly the worst film in the world (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) which although it has the gorgeous Russell Brand in it, still does not redeem itself. Full of comic sex and a script that an adolescent boy probably wrote....it was so bad it was funny!

So today I bought another book. Yes I confess, I need to go to book buyers anonymous. Its a lust story set in the early 1900s, about a guy looking for a wife.... and then it all goes wrong....:) I am looking forward to reading more!

This week has been lovely...

I am lusting after lots of dresses at the moment. I bought a pretty floral one this week, but I need more! :)

Have a great weekend..

The Owl and the Pussycat...

image: google

Hey,

I spent most of the day yesterday working on a university project...we have to adapt a piece of literature into a play script and I have chosen 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear.

Its such a cute, nonsense poem I love it!!!

'The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat

They took some honey and plenty of money wrapped up ina 5 pound note

The owl looked up to the stars above and sang to a small guitar....'

etc.... and then he proclaims his love for her and they get married by a Turkey and dine on mince and quince, and dance by the light of the moon.

:)

Happy Wednesday!

A week of memories and discoveries

image: google

Hi everyone.

Sorry I havnt written for a while, have been so busy!! Had lots going on with uni and friends... and this weekend spent time with friends and family. We had a community religious festival which involves dressing up and eating lots of food! Good times :)

This week has been a week of fun and discoveries.

I have discovered...

-that i LOVE to wear bright nail polish, particularly dark pink (as my nails are painted at the moment)

- a great book by Ed Hussein called 'The Islamist'- must read for anyone wanting to know about the reality of fundamentalist and moderate islam from an inside view. so interesting!

- that babies laughter is quite possibly the cutest thing in the world, and so is baby babble! (when they cant speak yet.. and are just about to talk)

- that Cath Kidston (british amazing designer) sells gorgeous floral teapots

- that I have a new found love for Alicia Keys and am beginning to like Florence and the Machine

- that sometimes its ok to change... change your hair style, your view and your perspective :) im thinking at the moment of changing my hair so i have a side fringe... (americans fringe means bangs!)

- that i love to reminisce... this week I was remembering reading 'To Kill a Mockingbird' aged 15 in class, and passing a beautiful house by my school. It was cream with a balcony at the front.. a really pretty circular one, big bay windows, a big tree at the front with branches that lent over towards the house and a manicured lawn. I fell in love with it.... and associated it with Scout and Jem's street in the book in 1930s America .

What have you discovered this week?

Love :)
