One. Fairy Lights.
Fairy lights are just cute, aren’t they? Popping a set into a pretty bowl or vase and sitting it on a table just makes a room instantly pretty and I love that. It’s the little touches that make a big difference I think. Two. Sunshine.
The sunshine has arrived in the UK and my mood is up there with the fluffy white clouds. I feel like a mist of all things negative has lifted and I’m smiling again. Thank you sunshine, please don’t go away!
Three. Ruby Rae Love.
Ella is a beautiful lady who has recently set up a jewellery shop called Ruby Rae Love. She has some really gorgeous items and I really think that you should go and have a nosy because I’m pretty sure you’ll fall in love with at least one thing. I have a little button in my side bar that will take you directly to her jewellery site if you click on it. I'll have a more detailed post coming up very soon because I think everyone should go and have a look and I think Ella is super lovely and deserves everything good! Four. Bloglovin'.
I’ve managed to find some really lovely blogs through Bloglovin’ that I probably would never have stumbled across otherwise in the vast entity that is the blogosphere. With separate blog categories it’s easy to find the most popular blogs as well as an ‘up and coming’ section that allows you to see blogs that are beginning to really blossom into something lovely.
Five. Old Film Cameras.
There’s something special about the photographs taken using an old film camera. I have quite a ridiculous collection of cameras from Polaroids to twin lenses but at the moment I’m never far from my Olympus OM10. It’s probably one of the simplest cameras to use that I own but it takes the most beautiful images. I adore it.
What have you been loving this week? Do you have a favourite blog or a new blog that you've stumbled across recently? If you do I'd love you to leave a comment telling me all about them!

cute blog!
ReplyDeleteAww lady, thank you so much for the mention ♥ I am also one who would never get her hopes up for fear of being let down by situations or people. My anxiety made it hard for me to stay positive, it just made me crazy implusive and productive about changing things and making them better :/ Took me ages to be able to relax and enjoy life properly. Anyways, posts like this make me smile :) and I would very much like to see some of your photos from your olympus above. I heart your photography so much! xx
ReplyDeleteThose lights look so pretty and Ella's shop is such a treasure trove!
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you about the weather, I mean seriously, when has it been this sunny and warm in the UK! :)
