[week in pictures] more of a month. featuring dogs, glitter and cake. and a blackbird.

A rather random selection of pictures from my May archives which made me smileā€¦

One of my regular visitors (if I had a familiar or a daemon, it would definitely be a blackbird)

My life is no longer packed in boxes | Week in photos

Oh, itā€™s been a whirlwind of a week. (I wonder how often I start a blog post with that?) Iā€™ve finally moved, Iā€™m in, the keys have been handed back to the old flatā€™s agents and my new house feels like home already!

Here are the fabulous daffodils (I ADORE daffs) that Mum and Dad brought me to celebrate moving in. I feel I should point out that the curtains will be changed shortly, and I really should have been buying them flowers ā€“ couldnā€™t have done this move without them!

And my very first visitors this weekendā€¦

Here are some (probably blurry) photos from the move ā€“ am hoping Mum took some of the chaos of boxes, as I completely forgot in the excitement!

The last few weeks in Instagram highlights – L-R tassels in progress, colourful table settings and ballet in the air at work; frosted spider web, delicious mango sorbet, first batch of eBay parcels from my pre-move clear out.

Happy things include 15 Queen Street and discovering the amazing creatives in my area | planning and prepping for a collaborative photoshoot with Contrariety Rose | development of Ink Drops Boxes | various happy-making side projects | fabulous Free Range Humans (the people and the book) | finding a new home | Hotel Chocolat caramel hot chocolate | bumping into Poppy’s old owner on a roundabout in a snowstorm | resurrecting the Ducks on Tour and finding original Frankie and Freddie pictures

And I have Thursday and Friday off work for the shoot šŸ™‚

My week in pictures ā€“ 22-29 January

I ate a lot of this (new Cadburys Dairy Milk Bubbly ā€“ looks cool but buggered the healthy eating up somewhat:

Kim made my week much better by giving me these beauties, which I proceeded to wear around the office for a couple of days:

We ordered some mystery shop flowers at work and I got to take one of the bouquets home, here they are in my living room looking lovely:

And I managed to buy and start reading the latest issue of Mollie Makes ā€“ full of inspiration as always:

So the lovely bits made up for the madness and late nights caused by the day job šŸ™‚
