rose ribbon corsages

on the hunt (as always) for lovely accessories to go with outfits, i couldn't find a nice corsage to go with a pearl headband that i am waring to a wedding...so i asked my mum to whip something up for me and this is what she came up with! i love them all!

so the only problem i have now is to decide which one to use...now them's the decisions i like to have.

time for tea

childrens tea time has come over all sophisticated with play dates for this and invitations to that.

these little invites are a mix of young and grown up glamour, they will be finished with polka dot and gingham ribbons.

let them eat cake.

fit for a queen

these little beauties are an addition to the pearls and lace range and have quite a regal feel to them.

the card is a vintage style embossed card, entitled tapestry, and are finished with vintage cream ribbon and a brass and pearl button.

perfect for a pearly king and queen...

call of the search...

finally the wait is over, this week my wonderful new printers created my dream guest book for one of my lovely wedding clients. 

using a a hard cover and floating perfect spine (excuse the quality of the picture!) they are perfect and not expensive, starting at £32.00..

oooh the possibilities..

met with my fabulous paper advisor at gf smith on wednesday, they have brought out a new range of duplexed card in their colour plan range, you can literally choose any colour from the ranges. rainbow card heaven. it really is a little wrong to get so excited over card..

heavenly hannah

my friend sent me the cutest present this morning, mine and my dogs names pressed into silver.

the necklace was designed by Kutuu jewellery, which is designed and handcrafted by Hannah Salomon, she works from her small home studio in the Welsh village of Llanfynydd. Inspiration is taken from nature and translated into her designs using techniques such as piercing to create illustrative, 2D shapes and forging for handshaped pieces with texture. The materials used in creating these pieces are usually silver, gold, gemstones and pearls.
