100th Post & a little giveaway!

Hooray, today is my 100th post! It took me a little longer than expected to get there- probably a lot to do with school work getting the better of me but hey I made it! It seems fitting to show you why I've been MIA for so long, so here's a little sneak peak at some of the little guys I've been working on for my final show. I'm painting some of them with the paints I was gushing about the other day

I'm midway through building my website which is a bit of a love/hate situation right now but I can't wait for it to go live and show you guys.
Since we're celebrating I thought it might be nice to do a little giveaway- mostly because I want you to say Hello! I see you over there in Brazil reading, Some of you in Sweden, Russia - Hello!, across the pond in America. Australia and the Philippines - Welcome! Israel, China and Turkey - Hi! and to everyone else I missed off too hello. So here's how it works- you leave a comment - introduce yourself if you feel so inclined and I'll pick out a winner who will receive some goodies, because who doesn't love receiving parcels? There will be one of my camera frames & some other surprises too

I guess I'm kinda running the risk of looking like Billy no mates here if none of you reply- so don't be shy! you'll have pretty good odds to win- ha!

Colour makes people happy

I visited the most magical place this week. To buy paint of all things, which you might think is not normally the most exciting of tasks! but there's this wonderful little place in Dulwich that sells wonderful paints from holland. The test colours are all shown on painted clogs- so you can see the colour in dark and shadow and from every possible angle! So smart. The whole place was amazing and made my heart sing a bit! The smell of hot chocolate warming in a little enamel saucepan for one. The cutest kitchen I've possibly ever laid my eyes. Small collections displayed on the perfect enamel shelves, battered and chipped painted floorboards and so much inspiration. I really wanted to move in! Reminded me a little of the wonderful apartments I got to visit in Sweden last year.

Please excuse the instagram shots but I really wanted to share. Hopefully there'll be more exciting things to tell you about this little place soon - I have hatched a little plan! I'll show you what I'm painting next week too.(promises promises!) If you want to visit - which I of course recommend then all you need to know is here
