Pretty & practical

Just because form follows function doesn’t mean things can’t be pretty!!! These penknife charms from Field Guide Designs are both beautiful and practical, just what you need!!!

It's not often as a designer that you find something that you love - just the way it is. Today I stumbled across these beautiful mixed media prints from Jump Off the Page. They're so beautiful, and inspiring - they definitely go on the want list!!!

Some thing for the van . . .

I stumbled across this image the other day whilst out roaming, and the juxtaposition of it made me grin.  “Everything Here Is Wonderful” is a limited addition map print from the NY based axe makers, Best Made Co, they created a “Limited edition of 15 woodblock prints on topographic maps from the United States Geological Survey. Handmade at the Best Made Outpost in St. Paul, MN.” With three maps currently available, you can choose from Mt Hood, MN, Mt Mansfield, VT, and Marfa. I want one for the van, I only wish there was an UK one.

Chasing sunsets

We chose the warmest day of the warmest week to have a BBQ feast with friends.
The only down side was we chose the windiest location. But we stuck it out, in true british style, and come sunset there wasn't any doubt in our minds that it was worth it.
There's nothing better in the world than watching the sun go down over the world.

The beginning . . .

Every great story has a beginning, this is ours . . .
