These things they bring me incomprehensible joy..

.. despite being inanimate.
I'm not a very good blogger, I can't help but notice. For what is not the first time I'm pledging to remedy this. But for now I'll just throw out a plethora of (borrowed) images of stuff that makes me happy. Not people or animals, just actual stuff. That way we get to look at pretty pictures AND I get to educate the world about myself!

Anyone will tell you I love tea. I don't actually think I can function without it - I tried to give it up for lent once, the main result being OUCH! HEADACHE! Such a junkie.

When I get 'big', the first thing I want to buy/build in my own abode is my bookcases. I actually love my books. Like my heart swells when I see them sometimes. I know I should most probably worry about this, but I don't! When I get round to it I'll share a photo of my actual book collection, when I rediscover the location of my camera lead!

As much as it sounds like a pastime for the middle aged, I've recently found that I really love messing in my garden. And Alys Fowler (above). It helps somewhat that when she's not doing gardening in vintage attire she bumbles around on a lovely old bicycle. With a basket. This leads to my next photo. I love my bikes. I have two: Aggie (mountain bike, rugged, weather worn, the big bossy trouser wearing sister of the two) and Florence (vintage style lady bike, slow, comfy, floaty & girly). Canny wait for slightly warmer weather when I can bundle up and trundle off on a pedalled adventure!

That'll do for now, once I started posting I realised there are far too many things that bring me incomprehensible joy, and at some point I should probably hit the hay. Artwalk tomorrow. Basically free art + free wine. And all you have to do is wander around my (slight dump of a) hometown. Bloody good deal. Especially if you like art and wine and have not a penny to your name :)

I love love LOVE these little shoesies from ChicasVintage's shop on Etsy (here)

Sadly I am poor, so am resigned to simply coveting what look like well loved (and lovable) bits of footwear. Sigh

I realise I've been a bit rubbish this week. I will amend.

Ohh the excitement...

..today I have the first day off partly to myself in what seems like a lifetime. To celebrate this monumentus event I'm going all out and having a good old tidy. I know, I'm wild. In the time since the festive season hit I've somehow managed to relocate my entire life downstairs, and have been too busy (and lazy) to re-relocate it to its rightful location. Well no more! I best proceed as I have other 'commitments' in the pm - a haircut and a trip to bead heaven for to restock up on pretties. Then an evening with the Boy. Yay (:

In a bit

Well...

I've taken it upon myself to start a blog.


So here I am. I'm not entirely sure what the subject of said blog will be so I'm reckoning I'll just start writing and see where it takes us. Chances are I'll rant and witter, throw in a few visual wonderments, and eventually we'll settle into some kind of comfortable state of affairs.


Enjoy.
