This is one of my favorites - great installations by Michael Johansson. You can see loads more on his website.

Crapcam.

A while ago I mentioned that I had picked up an old plastic 'Franka' camera that reviewers on the interweb had nicknamed the Crapcam. Well… I have just had my first film from it developed so you can make your own mind up!

I think they worked out great!

Excellent!

I love these illustrations lauren doughty. I would love to stick some pretty floral fabric on my real camera… watch this space. Also got two rolls of film developed i would love to share if only the husband would fix the scanner…

Cinema

We both really enjoy seeing a good film at the cinema, I think we would go more often if our cinema had seats like this -  don't they look amazing?

This is the 'private screening room' at the Blythswood Square hotel here in Glasgow. All the seats are upholstered in individual Harris Tweeds - so cool!

Delicious…

We made another trip to our new favourite bakery! Between us we ordered a choc-chip cookie, a macaroon, a choux bun and (of course) one of their amazing chocolate brownies!

The lady who served us was nice enough to slip in an extra choux bun (I think she thought it would be too difficult to half accurately and was worried for our marriage). It goes without saying that everything was DELICIOUS with a nice tup of tea!

ps. more on the wooden blocks later!

A Sunny Sunday.

Yesterday was a proper spring day and i was so excited to face the day without the Scottish uniform of scarf, cardigan, and tights. After having lunch followed by lavender hot chocolates and affogatos with some good friends, john and i headed out for a warm afternoon wonder around the west-end of Glasgow and through Kelvingrove park.

I am hoping the sun will come back out today but its rained already this morning. fingers crossed. My dress is an altered number from a vintage shop, sunglasses are from the charity shop, bag is form the car boot sale and shoes are topshop if you where wondering!

Pigeons!

These photos of champion pigeons are AMAZING! You can see more on the National Pigeon Association website.
