I found the wonderful printspace via kissthebirdie who had picked up some of their lovely prints at a market. They have great illustrations, stationery, badges, the list goes on.

i ♥ typewriters

1. don’t forget!, 2. Type, 3. 4.20.09, 4. Pretty In Pink

Turning over a new leaf Tuesday, after yesterday’s blah day I am feeling inspired, motivated and ready to go.

After a little shopping expedition this morning, I plan to attack the day (the first one without children in more than two weeks) and power through my to do list.

I have a couple of creative projects in my future which I will share as they come to fruition. I am using the typewriters as inspiration.  I love typewriters. I had one as a child (daughter of a journo, what do you expect!) and loved tapping out letters and notes on it.  The link ~ there are some words and some vintage in my projects, hopefully one day a typewriter. So stay tuned.

 

 

 

monday, monday

This sums up my Monday ~ pea soup fog that has turned into a dreary damp day. Sniffles in the house, getting ready to go back to school and my inspiration and mojo completely sapped.

Well hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow and all that, and with a little trip to the craft shop already planned for the morning and some lovely parcels winging their way towards me (more on that later in the week), it can only get better from here.

 

 

 

monday already …

A little sad to see another weekend pass by and the school holidays come to an end. We have had a lovely time relaxing and doing a whole lot of not much. Our weekend marked by simple pleasures.
