It has come to my attention recently, that I have been going out a lot to eat mexican and latin american. Not only is it refreshing to delevop a new taste for food, but some of the bars and restaurants, have really inspired me for their cultural take on interior design with textiles. Maybe this is a sign that need to go traveling again to explore the Americas...

A lazy Easter Sunday soaking up this fantastically early summer sun on the beach was broken up by an Easter bonnet parade. This one made by Robyn was my favourite. She very kindly let me take a photo of it to share here with you. Following this, was a mob of bright pink marjorettes showing off their routine to some pumping dance music. It actually made my day, and got me back into some photography.


I also picked up a little instruction booklet from 1936 with this beautiful screen printed cover.

So as a continuation of my previous post, it was such a lovely weekend, I wanted to show more of it. With the sun really out, proper, there was nowhere better to be than in the garden in Iffley, finishing off the final joins in my crochet comfort blanket. The last image shown here is my blanket modeled in Candy Pop’s dinning room (see my previous post).

I went to Candy Pop’s house the other day, and as ever I was stunned by her gorgeous sense of interior design and collections of toys, dolls and other memorabilia. She is also becoming an amazing photographer, which has inspired me again. These are some of my shots of just a very few of her collections. More can be seen on Candy Pop’s Flickr.

Happy Sakura my Japanese friends.

The beginning of September, means back to school for most. For me it’s my birthday! Last week, I skipped off to the seaside to celebrate!
