August – I bloody love that I do

Written by on August 30, 2010 in BLOG - 8 Comments

I found this print through @ArtatHeartUK on Twitter.  I bought it and had it framed locally.  It now resides in our new kitchen.  I think it may have prompted me to drink  more Bombay Sapphire just by the power of thought, but hey, who’s counting?  Art at Heart are definitely worth a follow on Twitter. Every day I see something that I want.  I just need to save up now …

Reddskinbags – I came across Karen on Twitter about a year ago.  She’s one of those people who is just so very fabuloso … and she works with teenage boys.  Give that woman a medal.  She started up a little business selling her handmade bags other things last year. At Christmas I bought an amazing stocking for my sister and I am currently coveting several of her bags.  Go check out her wares on Folksy

My new journal by Wild & Wolf - My birthday present to myself.  It’s from the Ladybird Archive Collection and made me all nostalgic. I have spent the last two weeks stroking it adoringly and feel that maybe it’s about time I actually wrote something in it.

Princess & The Frog on Disney Blu-Ray – This arrived a few weeks ago.  We went to see the Princess & the Frog when it came out at the cinema last year. On our second viewing it didn’t disappoint.  We really enjoyed it.  It felt like an old style Disney film rather then the new-fangled CGI ones. The romantic story, the music and the Southern accents, it’s one of those films that makes you all warm and fuzzy.  I heartily recommend it.

Disney celebrates a modern-day classic from the directors of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. Discover what really happened after the princess kissed the frog in an inspired twist on the world’s most famous kiss. This hilarious adventure leaps off the screen with stunning animation, irresistible music and an unforgettable cast of characters.

Enter Princess Tiana’s world of talking frogs, singing alligators and lovesick fireflies as she embarks on an incredible journey through the mystical bayous of Louisiana. Spurred on by a little bit of courage and a great big dream, these new friends come to realize what’s truly important in life…love, family and friendship.

      You could buy a bag and I could *COUGH* look after it whilst you are away on your travels?

      I know my sister can’t wait to put up her Xmas stocking this year … and I’m sure I’ll be making another purchase shortly. Just need to whittle it down to one item at a time. Oh, and I am glad your mannequin found it’s arms!
