Hang-tastic

I've been going colour crazy over the last few weeks and bright/ primary colours are really doing it for me at the moment. Spotted this little collection of children's wooden hangers today and I can't wait to do something with them. Watch this space.

My Monmouth

Bought a packet of lovely Monmouth coffee. I really wanted to photograph the whole display in the cafe as they looked so nice lined up with all the different pastelly coloured labels but it was busy and I probably would have got escorted off the premises. I love simple packaging so I've shot this packet to keep in my log of nice packaging. 

Acceptable in the noughties

Being a child of the 80s, I have very fond memories of the decade of Rubiks, legwarmers and shoulder pads. And yesterday, my awesome babe of a husband bought me the best present ever, a Timex 80s watch. I can't stop admiring this little beauty. I know it's not for some, but I love it.

If you're ever in Brighton, you must check out The Lollipop Shoppe - it's one of my favourite shops and I always come out feeling sad because I want to buy absolutely everything. V. inspiring and the staff are lovely too.

Stu stu studio

Been stuck at uni looking at colours and forms and blah blah blah. Trying to make sense of my plan to develop my own design formula - muahahahaha. If I look a little pasty next time you see me, you know why. x

Sleepy Deepy

I've got loads on at the mo so not much blogging going on I'm afraid folks. But thought I can't leave you high and dry so here's a pic of Flower, one of my cats demonstrating how I feel at the end of each day at the moment. Thank you Flower.

Stationery Porn

I'm not afraid to admit, I keep stashes of stationery porn and here's my latest indulgence. The lovely people at itis edition have a gorgeous selection of stationery and rare books and magazines that you'd struggle to find elsewhere.
