Out and About in Brighton

We're think of leaving Brighton, nothing personal, but we feel we've out stayed our welcome...nothing has gone wrong but we're ready for a new adventure. With this in mind we have been trying our hardest to make this most of living in this awesome city. It is a very cool city with lots to see and do.

As part of Brighton Fringe Festival the covered the clock tower in ombre T-shirts. Very cool.

It's mackerel season again, which means a free full fridge!

My Hubs caught a whopper!

We finally got to use the portable smoker that my Nana got us  for Christmas a couple of tears ago, SO good!!

We had left over Dewberry Liqueur that we made for the wedding, so we obviously had to make cocktails with it!

Yeah we did!

This photo makes me laugh. a lot. It's normally me pulling stupid faces and him with the blue steel.

Here we are at the No Fit State Circus....so so good, I've you ever get the opportunity, GO!

weddingy things

I went to a wedding fair on Sunday, and it was actually pretty good! I never thought I'd say that, but now I can check that box and carry on with my life. The main thing that attracted me to this wedding fair in particular was the venue - Battsea Arts Center - and it didn't disappoint, beautiful mosaic floors, domed ceiling windows and stained glass, it was pretty beautiful to say the least.

 

The fair was called the Miss Vintage Wedding Affair and it was full of beautiful vintage lace, bespoke handmade stockings, tea cups that doubled up as wine glasses and lots of lovely vintage treasures and treats in between. My dear Rose travelled up from the Isle of Wight to play with me and to make it an extra special day out we had our hair and make up done by the wonderful Lucy at Hair That Turns Heads. We then spent the rest of our time there playing in the photo booth that WeNotMe set up, needless to say we were happy bunnies and left with a smile on our faces.

 

I was too busy having fun to take many photos, but here are a couple the Rose and I managed to capture.

 

 

 

 

Snaps and that

Heres a few photo's from the last month...

 

 

1.Coco getting into the Autumn vibes on the sofa. 2. My lovely cacti. 3. My new engagement ring that me and Si chose together. (the other one was the one he proposed with, beautiful, but wouldn't have lasted a lifetime!)

 

I'm having problems enlarging my photos on here at the moment, if anyone knows what to do about this please let me know!!

 

Bye x

Bling bling!

I thought I would share with you my very exciting news....I'm getting married! My beau proposed on a sunny Sunday morning, he bought me a coffee and a ring in bed! We are so happy.

The planning is well on the way, be warned though my blog may become rather saturated with wedding ideas, so I do apologise in advance!

Vintage Wedding Fair Hair

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine put on a vintage wedding circus with The Hurly Burly. I ended up doing a vintage hair salon there, it was so much fun! It did make me contemplate it for a new career direction, but brides scare me a bit.

Don't they all look beautiful! You can hire the Hurly Burly for weddings, they are great people and they sure know how to have a good time!

Roma

Hello All! So last weekend I went to Rome.

 It.Was.Incredible.

Here are a few of my snaps from the trip, I didn't get as many photo's as I would have liked but everything was just far to interesting to take my eyes off.

This was the view from our apartment window, there was a beautiful market just at the end of the street.

Luke making authentic espresso.

Mmmmm breakfast, us making up for the copious amounts of pizza and wine.

The flower market

So.Much.Pasta.

The 'Colly'

The wonderful girls (on tour) lunging outside the Pantheon.

I cannot recommend Rome highly enough. Everything about it was perfect, the people, the company, the food, the wine. Perfect.

What a Week

Wow, so what a couple of weeks it's been. We had a wonderful valentines day with lots of coffee and quality time....

Then we go broken into. Not cool. This is why I have not posted for ages...our laptop was stolen. I'm not going to really go into it but we got our car back, our house wasn't trashed and we weren't hurt, so it could have been a lot worst. The worst thing is though the feeling of your own private space being invaded and violated. I hope that this never happens to anyone else that I know because it's horrible!! So make sure you use a "dead lock" as well as a yale....really please do as this makes it a lot harder to break into.

The builders are in to that means we're up at the crack of dawn, but it's very exciting. When it's all finished and beautiful I may post about it...but in the meantime my "Home Sweet Home" board on pintesest is expanding out of control.

My creativity has been put on hold as my sewing room has been taken over with house junk, so here are just a few pictures I've taken over the last couple of weeks.
