Beautiful Things

This week seemed to be full of beautiful things. Either surprises from friends or little parcels in the mail. It was one of those weeks where everything seemed to come at once.

I was thrilled to find that the person who bought my festival blanket was a fellow colour-lover and fantastic company as well. We spent a lovely morning chatting about crafts, flowers and crochet over a cup of tea. Hilary (of Eliza James Flowers) had the perfect place in mind for the blanket and kindly sent me some pictures of it already looking quite at home in this beautiful country bedroom.

… looks like the idea place for a cup of tea and a curl-up with a book …

Hilary also surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in her signature relaxed and carefree style. Bursting with colour and scent from the various herbs and flowers, I proudly carried it home where it is now sitting in the kitchen for all to see!

…. breathtakingly beautiful …

All of these events were certainly making my week a great one when something else exciting dropped through the mailbox.

… great product wrapping from Creatiate …

Now if you go crazy for stationery like me, this shop will have you in fits and whoops of joy. I found it after a lengthy search for a custom stamp for The Dorset Finca. My plan was to stamp away merrily on the backs of envelopes, packaging and anything else I could get my hands on. It seemed like a much more eco-friendly solution than buying branded stickers all the time. Although saying that, I love stickers badly too.

When I found Creatiate’s shop, I knew they were the ones to sort me out, mainly because it took me about four days to choose which design I liked – there were too many delicious ones. Furthermore, once I had chosen, I already had my eye on another purchase! Yes, my whimsy-self was in true form this week!
