diamond wedding. II.

All stuck down... Various tests were done with different glues as the fibres from the recycled card darkened easily with the moisture. A good glue stick worked the best, and despite taking ages and being fiddly, the end product was worth it and looked much tidier.

Getting to work on my Grandparents Diamond Wedding anniversary card. I feel like I have been working out the dimensions of my hand drawn diamond, and counting out Diamanté for nearly sixty years myself.... Fingers crossed they like it.

Will be back with the finished product when it's done!

Couldn't get a better delivery while off from work on holiday.

Lots of birthdays and celebrations coming up, which only means one thing.... a creative and busy evening ahead.

I had always admired this clock that my Mum had on her shelf. She told me she bought it with my Gran in mind, as she never knew what time it was, let alone what day of the week or month it was. When my Gran eventually gave into dementia I was given it, and it sits very proudly in the flat.

I have always admired Karlsson for their retro styling, and love having one of their legendary clocks despite it losing a day now and then.

Urban Outfitters are currently selling a slightly brighter version for £150 here, but as you can see from the image not a lot has changed over the years.

Just found a sweet photo of the East London Supernice store on their website. Taken on a Sunday judging by the lovely flowers in front.

The image and contact details for the store can be found here.

Columbia road market is pretty great, not only for the flowers but the shops. When I moved into a flat around the corner, I spent most of my weekends (and money) discovering some amazing brands and products.

One of which was a Supernice. Mainly selling wall stickers/transfers (with some other home wares and novelty's as well as really beautiful cards) the inside of the shop is quite a treat to the eyes.

After not being sure how to decorate the flat, and having to hold back on sticking holes in the walls, I was pleasantly inspired by what they had to offer. I went for the below lights by BLIK in Black (wish they were real lights) for starters, but plan another visit to Supernice to fill the bare white walls with some Gold and Grey to really make an impact.

Check out their website by clicking here and if you are ever around East London at the weekend then Columbia road is definitely worth a visit.
