Nouveau Motley on etsy

Wouldn't this just be the perfect addition to my entomology collection!!??!

I think I even dreamt about it last night...

Sheringham shop

M bought me these lovely birds from my favourite shop in Sheringham last year...
We went into town last weekend and I dragged him to the door, only to find it has shut down! :(
I am so sad.
It was an incredible shop - so full of treasures.

As I was walking down the road, some months ago now, I noticed a garden with lots of chinese lanterns. So I stopped and asked at the house whether I could collect some seeds when they were ready.

And look what popped through my door this morning :)

It has definately gone some way towards cheering me up...

Though I think a cup of T and a cupcake would also help.....

sigh

The negatives

I picked up these awesome glass plate negatives at an antique shop in the city - There are so many good ones in Norwich - real little treasure troves, with boxes of goodies all stashed away in gloomy corners for rummaging through.

Any ideas on how I might display them?

 I really want to scan them into my computer so I can play about with them, but the scanner I had just isn't up to it. Not sharp enough. And it was a negatives scanner too! Will have to stick with these photos for now :)

wooden skulls...

Oh I want one! They are so beautiful. Snapped this one in Norwich yesterday...

Would love to own one or carve one or just carry one about for even an hour (might get heavy though)

If you've got £130 handy, do you fancy buying me one??

Looked up their website for more...

mmm lovely.

busy busy busy...

"Life seems nothing more than a quick succession of busy nothings"

has never been truer. Nothing substantial has happened at all since I last wrote on here. Lots of general, everyday, little things.

M and I went to the Country Fair, was good and country-like. I sold my old car. I put a path in amongst the poppies in my garden. I applied for yet another job. I sent off for, and received my provisional minibus licence. Soaked up some rays. Not a lot to say really, so it'll be mostly pics this time round...

me little path -

mum's first topshop purchase?...

I've had my eye on some very girly shoes

And the kitten has decided he doesn't like having his photo taken!

Antique treasures...

Trying really hard at the moment to be cheerful, and not get angry - sort of doing anger management on myself. Cos work and driving and other aspects of my life have been generally making me angry, but it's got to the point where it's almost completely irrational anger, and it's making me unhappy. So I'm stopping it! But it's hard. There are just so many things that wind me up!!!!

M and I have taken up swimming - we're planning to go at least once a week for an hour or so, then relax in the sauna and steam room.

So far it has definately helped, been really relaxing...

Didn't realise that he was trained as a lifeguard and really loves swimming. Strange the hidden depths you find out about people over time, the things people think aren't important enough to mention. He says he's going to teach me to swim, as at the moment I flounder somewhere between sinking and floating along :p

Oh, and I bought a new car :) It's definately helping with the road frustration. Feel a lot safer in it, and can overtake with a lot more ease! lol. Pictures to come soon!! (once I've cleaned it hehe)

I had a day out with my friend Abi from work on my last day off and we went to a beautiful antique shop in Holt. We got a little carried away... Bought these awesome old tins to store my seeds in

and this crazy book of fairytales, unlike anything I have ever read. Thinking of drawing some illustrations to go with them :)
