i can't make you love me a whole clock

last night i was so lucky and got to see the wonderful adele perform at the hammersmith apollo.

she was incredible.

the highlight for me was her cover of bonnie raitt's i can't make you love me. it's one of my favouritest songs & brought me to tears. here's her perfoming the same song at the itunes festi back in july:

and a big shout-out to lovely rose for hooking me up with such hot tickets - thank you!! xx

edinburgh craftiness

i went to edinburgh for a long weekend to stay with lovely family & check out the fringe festi. we did a lot of laughing & drank buckets of pear cider. luckily for me & not so lucky for jb, the fringe co-incided with the craft, art & design fair, which i dragged him round. one of the stalls was selling prints by a little company called owl & lion who have a studio in the grassmarket area of the city. i just couldn't let these two go...


this one is called bears do say sorry

this one is called , homesick

they are by an illustrator called parko polo & you can find out more about him here: http://www.parkopolo.eu/

i am going to wait until we move home to hang them but i want them side by side somewhere; i really heart the colours.

i spied lots of other crafty-nice-ness but didn't always have my camera ready. i did however snap up these huge paper-cut-installations which i thought were very unusal & quite impressive:

bye for now xxx

i love trauma tombola a whole clock

we had an amazing sea-side weekend in brighton & on sunday we dragged our sorry, hungover selves to the yard - a super-cute little alleyway of market stalls where mur has her vintage set-up, say that you loved me: 

one of the stalls was called trauma tombola,‘where every silver lining has a cloud’ 

it was the most bizzare idea but utterly addictive. it was the same set-up as a normal tomobla, you paid your money & pulled out a ticket & if you had a super-special-ticket then you won a prize...a prize with an exception. everything up for grabs was traumatic:

my first three goes were fruitless - but that just spurred me on! and finally on go number four i hit jackpot!!! ticket number 380 the most revolting prize of all, used pop-socks:

*please excuse the very hungover state of affairs that is my face

& also i stole the photo from the yard - fanks!*

 from previous posts you'll know that i bloody love winning stuff, even, it appears, kinda gross stuff

high-five truama tombola

i love cake bunting a whole clock

with a distinct lack of market action my card production has been slim to none. i needed a craft fix. with a bestie birthday on the horizon i got it in the form of cake bunting. yes. teeny tiny little bunting to put on a cake.

as my baking skills are not so hot the gorgeous coffee & walnut cake was provided by little amy & the birthday bethie loved it.

yay to cake bunting. i love it! xxx

weekend skies

there's not an awful lot to say right now; i'm feeling incredibly sad, disappointed & worried about what else is still be to come. so here are a couple of beautiful london skies before everything in this brilliant city went wrong...
