My little bro tied the knot...

...to a beautiful and lovely lady who I am so happy to call my sister in law. It was a wonderful ceremony with a fantastic party afterwards, all organised in the space of a month! I helped out with a bit of pop pom decoration but really the venue was so fantastic it didn't need much. They chose The Roost, a location for film and photography, for their reception and WOW!! what an incredible place. An old edwardian house in Dalston, set over 4 floors, each room filled with great props and decorated in a different way, all with that faded grandeur look to it which I love. All the guys were given flat caps and the ladeez got fans as the wedding favours which I labelled using an old typewriter and some cheap cloth. A wonderful day had by all. Congratulations Kendal and Michelle, can't believe you beat me to it, we got a lot to live up to now:)

Sara Carr

Just a quick post, just found these lovely knitted goodies on Etsy by Sara Carr, a London based designer and thought I would share them.

Mint

When looking at the lovely blog of Chocolate Creative (below) one of their links was Mint, a brick and mortar shop in London who also have a lovely website.  I chanced upon their blog and found these lovely brightly colored offerings.  I love the contrast of the rough, natural bark and the bright, smooth gloss interior.  Ticket to London for one, please - I need to get my mits on those bowls!

Lush Designs

I'm in love with Lush Designs!! We are in the process of making our house a bit nicer this summer and so have been trawling through the 'net in search of lovely bits for our house. During one of my recent trawls, I came across Lush Designs who make these amazing lampshades, I would love one of each design as they are all wonderful. Lush also design tea-towels, cushions aprons and more and for those of you lucky enough to live in/or near London, they also have a shop based in Greenwich Market.

Family Tree Shop

The Family Tree bricks and mortar store is based in Clerkenwell, London.  They are currently updating their online shop but you can still see some of the lovely items such as these wonderful items above.
