wantist

Hello friends! I hope you all had a lovely long Easter weekend. Copenhagen was super fun and I'll be posting some pictures of our trip later this week.

As we are moving into the silly season - what I call the crazy busy summer months full of weddings and birthdays - I was super excited about finding the Wantist. This website is perfect for gift giving, offering what they call a 'curated collection' of gifts. Have a play around, I love what comes up when searching for something quirky for someone sophisticated. Who'd of thought?!

Wanted found here.

Today friends, I am excited to share that I am going to be a maid (matron!) of honour for one of my very best friends. In a few short weeks I'll be flying to Colorado for her bachelorette party and am on the look out for party favours for the girls.

Little Bloomers, created by Rani Deshpande, come in a variety of shapes and are fabulously eco friendly. Each favour is created by specially made seed paper - paper made from junk mail, disused cardboard boxes and grocery bags and then implanted with a selection of flower and fern seeds. I love the idea of the girls from the bachelorette receiving these in Colorado and taking them home to plant around the world; as the paper decomposes the seeds sprout and should produce wonderful flowers...and hopefully wonderful memories of the day.

Little Bloomer's available here.

forget me not

It's prettier than a piece of string, no?
