From Laura Ashley, so beautiful.
There's something about roses that i love right now, i'm not sure what, maybe because of their feminine appeal and charm, and delicate petals.

Quick post about what i'm looking at right at this second.
Had another look round our new flat yesterday just to get a feel for the space and the sort of things we'd need to buy for september. I want a couple of bookshelves, but i want to customize them with wallpaper or fabric, just to give it abit of life. But can't do anything until we move in september 1st, right now all i can do is sit and wait and fantasise, and make cushions in the summer holidays. Hoorah.

Again, more pictures from Country Living, which is turning out to be an amazing resource!
' "Everything you need for stylish interiors is hanging in your closet," observes Annette Tatum, owner of House, a shop in Santa Monica. '
Lovely inspiration for my home studio that i'll have from september. Cannot wait to decorate it with amazing things.
A Marie Antoinette inspired home anyone? Yes i think it would be visually delicious and so charming!
I LOVE IT! So romantic, calming and full of loveliness. Just a bit too white for my liking, but still so very pretty.

Me and Sally went vintage shopping around nottingham, looking for pretty little beauties, artistic inspiration and old, personality-filled objects to make us coo.
I squealed quite alot, and spent £20 on things, whereas Sally spent nothing! Sensible lady! Sally took me to an AMAZING shop called Bambi Vintage in sherwood. Seriously, it was the most beautiful shop i've ever been in. Can't wait to go back; next time i'm going to buy a china teacup and saucer :) so excited.
On the way back from our vintage adventures we stopped off at Dotty's Café on Mansfield road for a spot of tea and some banana cake. Wonderful.
Here's my bedroom, the rainbow crochet blanket on my bed was from a vintage shop on Mansfield Road called 'Daphne's Handbags'
Found this book in Treasure Chest, which is in Sherwood near Bambi Vintage. Was amongst a hell of alot of junk and furniture and it cost me £5, but it's a beautiful vintage children's book. Would've liked to have got it for less, but it's still really lovely.
Bambi vintage! An truly wonderful shop! i kept the brown paper bag that a scarf came in that i bought from there. It had a lovely birdie stamped on to it, so i will stick it in my purple notebook, which is nearly full!
Doodles from this morning's lecture. It disinterested me, so i did something useful with my time.
Today is such a pretty day; i love it.

Last night i watched the first televised election debate between the three main party leaders. Whilst watching it i was wondering why they didn't do it sooner. A debate such as this can show the vulnerability and incapacity of each leader when it comes to thinking on their toes, and each one of them did stumble. However, and before i say this i was intending to vote for them anyway, Nick Clegg came off best. As the most outspoken, inquisitive and interesting of the three, he raised points, made decent argumentsand held my attention the most. Cameron came out of it the weakest in my opinion, looking like abit of a foolish school boy between Clegg and Brown, whereas Brown seemed outdates, monotonous and disinteresting, in whatever topic he was talking about. Clearly thr country needs something different after so long under Labour.
But before people get excited about Nick Clegg, bear this is in mind : he 'plans to join the euro, scrap the Trident nuclear deterrent and offer an amnesty to illegal immigrants.' So a country as patriotic as ours is really willing to give up the pound? Being honest i don't care, we'll still have the queen's head on our overpriced stamps. Plus, what are we going to deter Iran with if they start getting frisky with us? Harsh words and finger pointing? I like Nick Clegg, better than the other two, but is he really any better?He doesn't appear ruthless enough to become prime minister. He needs to come out fighting now, and be as argumentative and as harsh as the conservatives and labour are being to one another. If he lies in the background too much, we'll never get 'real change'.
