Unicorns, Tiaras & Flower Crowns♡

So I have been a bit absent from blogging for quite a while - I've had quite a busy up and down couple of weeks (both in travelling brum-london-brighton) and also emotionally due to the super sad passing of my lovely auntie joan. 


But I'm focussing on the magical wonderful moments and times, and its really kick started me into wanting to do more with every day, so I've embarked again on quite a few little sewing projects & also with some new drawings! 


I also spent last weekend reunited with lovely Tatty Devine ladies working at the super sample sale, & doing some exciting work with one of my favourite prop designers. Here's a mini collage of things recent:

Top Row: Me & Emily at Tatty Devine wearing the gorgeous new Tiara's Tatty has made for the Jubilee, I totally fell in love with the turquoise (bit of a branch out from my usual pinkness) & am now the happy owner of one, second picture is it in all it's sparkle in box, Sleeping Beauty when the prince finds here (will always be one of my favourite films and this scene is just so perfect!).

Second Row: A yellow and rose headband I made from the old tatters of a crown I'd gotten at glastonbury - I filled it with lots of new flowers ready to be worn again (:, A sneaky peak of the first of my new enchanted princess style drawings & my floral headband making kit - petals, wire, various roses, all scattered on my bed.

Third Row: The result of my floral headband making session for summer, this was the one with the most beasty flowers,  I now have about 5! (more photos on instagram - rosepetaldeer), A gorgeous copy of Sleeping Beauty & one of my headbands drying out on my bunny light (: (they were on every surface at one stage).

Fourth Row: One of my favourite Tim Walker Shoots - Vogue Christmas 2004, I've spent quite a long time recently in Brighton libary looking through old vogues finding all his original shoots as pre planning for my dissertation - I ended up spending hours and hours just transfixed by too many distracting editorials - This particular one saw Tim take up pretty much half of Vogue with a Pantomime themed shoot which was so enchanting - the props are just insane - I can't even begin to imagine the work in setting it all up!, Me at the Tatty sale in my Tiara, some gorgeous pink petaled flowers.

Fifth  Row: A beautiful illustration from an old children's book about a unicorn, The lisbon sisters (a photograph in a 90's vogue talking about the film pre it coming out) & a little drawing I did of a rainbow unicorn (:

Hope your all having beautiful weekends and managed to enjoy the glimmer of sunshine I caught a bit of today! I will hopefully be posting much more regularly again now my head is a little less scrambley <3 

A final note - a picture of my auntie looking super beaut at her wedding - She was such an amazing person with a truly fantastic heart, I have no doubt that she's in a wonderful place, RIP, 

Lots of Love x x x x 

lilac lovely & floral dreams♡

Hello lovely ones! Hope your all having a wonderful February, I keep meaning to post more (lots planned) but never seem to have a moment spare at the moment!

 Been a super busy week interning with the wonderful 'Sukie' & visiting some favourite lovelies in London at the weekend! My saturday & sunday involved lots of dancing to 90's tunes and visiting pretty antique shops (: 

I was loving the little bit of sunshine that was starting to make an appearance...too excited for spring!!

Been back in Brighton these past two weeks which has jut felt magical, so nice to go to all my favourite spots once more, and see the sea! So excited to move back properly in Summer, yay!

Thought I'd post a little lilac garden girl from my flower girls project last year (I will write about the whole project soon (: ), but the more flowers I see the more I miss having vases everywhere full of delightful petals and fairy like scents and colours, definitely need to draw some more flowers again soon! I loved working on that so much! & I loved sitting in parks embracing spring in various gardens, there are some really truly beautiful hidden gems around Brighton which are simply perfect in Spring time (: 

  Looking forwards to some more trips to charity shops and countryside exploring later in the week when I'm not working! I also went to Lewes today for only the second time today to help hunt for some maps for the beautiful handmade Sukie books.

That place is like an absolute dream, jam packed full of shops selling gorgeous old trinkets, antiques and yummy goodness. I found possibly the world's smallest cake shop, which had simply the most spellbinding cakes I've ever seen, no other word to describe them, the main one in the window was a proper detailed gingerbread house which was so dreamy! and it even had it's own nutcracker man at the door, felt like I was staring into candy dream world <3

Anyways, Hope you like her! Lots of Love x x x
