Woodland Papercuts

This astounds me, Naomi from Woodland Papercuts! How many hours do you reckon would have been spent hand cutting each one of these beautiful art works? I adore her work, so make sure you peek through the rest of her collection on:

Take a closer look.

Excuse me for the contemplative post today, but I watched Inception last night and now I am filled with so many questions :)

It really got me thinking about reality and what you hold on to and what is real. Would you think 'reality' is a place we need to constantly surround ourselves in? I mean, I have some rather big dreams I want to accomplish one day, and truth be told, they won't be accomplished in 'reality'. Is it best to make your 'reality' a place where all dreams are possible? You need to go somewhere further where there are no limitations to your dreams and then turn them into reality. I am just starting today to take a closer look at things in and surrounding my life which make up my reality.

I don't even know if this makes sense, but I hope I got you thinking, because I have so many thoughts buzzing through my mind right now! :)

But on a lighter note, make sure you take a looksie at Daydream Lily today. I am filling in for Liss with a guest post and hope to inspire you lovelies.

Little Treasures

(Les Zigious found via Like a butterfly in your house)

On Monday night we celebrated my sister in law's baby shower, and oh boy, did it make me clucky listening to all the baby stories! I am just so happy that she is having her little boy very soon, so I can cuddle the bubby and hopefully be happy with that for now!

There's still a few things I want to do before our little treasure enters the world.
Like:
- buy a beautiful home, so that our baby has a lovely home to grow up in. The house above, I absolutely adore!

- get Emma and my design business cranking! We have some lovely ideas brewing for some crafty things that need to be made, so stay tuned :)

- do some traveling with the hubby. Even if we can't do the whole Europe deal, I would still love to do a stop over to America/Canada for a snow trip.

At the moment, I am so content. I am happy. With everything. God is good!

Today could be the day.

Hello lovelies.
Well as you may know, we have officially opened our beautiful little boutique store! I may sound like a broken record, but I am absolutely in love with it! I want to take a sleeping bag with me and just live in our cute store :) So have had my hands full this past week, but I hope you have been enjoying the lovely photography posts I have been doing this last week.

Will post some photos of our store very shortly! Keep in touch everyone, I will be back into the swing of blogging shortly and cannot wait to catch up on all your beautiful posts I have been missing out on :)

What's been the excitement of your last week?

Sleep In.

(credit)

Oh Mondays, how I love you :) Why do people not enjoy Mondays? So much to look forward to! Get up with a good coffee, notepad in hand, make your lists for the week and of coarse plan for your weekend (and plus, I get to do my Much Love Monday post)!

So today I love:
- Sleep ins. I treasure the days where I get to sleep in and then lie in bed and read a book.
- White Ferrero Rocher! Wow, amazing! I had them the first time this weekend and was pleasantly surprised!
- Pale pink/peach coloured clothing. I bought myself a very cute cardi in this shade and have fallen in love! Now I just a nice pretty dress in the same colour :)

Whoo! My sleep in day is tomorrow, so I am looking forward to it!

Alice B Gardens

I adore Alice Garden's photography. I love soft, pastel toned photography. I think it's captivating and dreamy and she makes ordinary house hold objects look amazingly beautiful.

The Disposable Memory Project

The Disposable Memory Project is one of the greatest creative initiatives that I have seen for a very long time! It has nothing to do with skill, or the final outcome, but the journey and the people that created that journey.

"we're leaving disposable cameras around the world. people are picking them up, taking a few photos and passing them on, eventually returning home - so we can tell their stories."

Want to get involved in this journey? Go to their website to find more info and check out some awesome journeys that some of these cameras have been on! These are just a few snapshots of Mr Pooh Bear taking a trip down to the South Pole.

Enjoy!
