June Round Up! Features, DIYs & Fun...



Goodness me, It's July already!
This June has been jam packed for us with lots to share, lots of improvements and a whole lot of achievements :D So, incase you missed anything over the past 4 weeks, here is a quick round up of what we got up to...


Lots of lovely shots were taken for our weekly Wordless Wednesday post. From pretty parlours to pink hair for the month, we shared a peek at what we have been up to offline. Thank goodness for instagram!



We posted our favorite look for a summertime picnic with style me friday, a few helpful thrifting tips to get you through the outdoor fairs and we fell in love with these pictures of rollercoasters from the 1900s and these cracking short animated films from Yum Yum London





We got to hang out with the incredible shoe designer Frenchie of Merlo Designs Footwear who's shoes are so good they will bring a tear to your eye! And we had our favorite bird and tree illustrator Zyzanna came round to give us an insite into her wonderful world. She is working on a wicked tree-a-day forrest and even 'planted' a Vivid tree for us!




We posted diys on how to decorate mugs with a Sharpie marker and showed you how to make an adorable plush stuffed rabbit. These both make fabulous gifts on a tight budget and are a great way to liven up your home in a flash!


This month we are also delighted to have been able to share so many fantastic achievements with you too. We went all out with our blog re-design, which we think looks absolutely stunning and was worth all the late nights and hard work over! We also shared our great success at our latest market stall where we think we are finally getting into the swing of setting up. We have also had some incredible online success with reaching the etsy front page, having our Envelope Clutch tutorial featured on our favorite craft magazine's blog Mollie Makes and we had our Berry Infused Vodka featured online in the Huffington Post kitchen daily... 

Crikey!! It's been just incredible to see our hard work pay off and we are so lucky to have such wonderful readers who have supported us and encouraged us throughout. We couldn't do it without your banter, comments and feedback so thank you for all the amazing encouragement! We hope you are enjoying our blog as we have writing it; it's great to share so many ideas with such lovely people!

Here is to sharing lots more in July!

Happy reading lovelies :D

    1. Thanks Jen :D We started doing a monthly round up a few months ago as we blog so much we thought it would be a great way to keep readers updated if they missed anything. And it is a lovely way to see what we've been up to too! Enjoy x

  4. That's pretty good! I like the idea. And all that :) I was thinking of doing a little review of 2012 so far, as we have hit the mid-year.... Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz! :OOOO (And I happen to have written a general to-do list for this year. Surprisingly I believe 2 out of 5 have already happened ;))

    You've had a pretty awesome month anyway :) Also, can we arrange for a collection if the pencils set sometme? ;) (=coffee/beer? I hear there's a new pretty awesome patisserie in town...)

    1. Thanks Zyzanna!
      Hooray with getting anything off the to do list :D I think round ups are great as they remind you of all the little things that are easily forgotten but still important. Everyone should have them! I know, we can't believe how time has flown either. Mad!!
      I know all about that patisserie too, Its soooooo good! I'm defo in :D Just signed up for a market on the 15th so think its going to be another busy couple of weeks.... Always time for cake!
