Pretty Snow Pictures!

We have all mainly had a lot of snow recently in the UK. So I thought today I would share some of my favourite snow pics from this year and last year. 

This time last year I was on a work placement at Christopher Farr, London. So I was lucky enough to experience the snow in London. Hyde park was absolutely stunning! Here are a few photo's I took whilst exploring. It felt like Narnia, very enchanting. 

This year I have experienced the snow at home. Again, it was just as lovely. Being cosy at home with the family and new addition Dylan! 

We had lots of fun in the snow. We live next door to the lovely countryside. The fields were covered in fresh snow waiting for us to come and play in. Dylan seemed to enjoy it, although it was very deep for him. I wonder if thats all the snow we will get for this year? 

Damien Hirst Exhibition at the Tate!

Warning.... Spoiler Alert as I have included alot of Images from the Exhibition!

I had noticed a show on Channel 4 a month or two ago about Damien Hirst but not managed to watch it, but since I have seen his exhibition advertised at the Tate I have been dying to go. Luckily I have now had chance!

It was definitely an eye opening exhibition. My favourite part of it being the room of butterflies.... walking into the next room of the exhibition I didn't expect there to be a huge amount of butterflies free and flying around. It was amazing. I love them as it is but to see so many varieties and see them flying around quite freely was fab! I love how this room shows the life cycle of a butterfly with the caccoons hung on the walls with some of them open and some still closed.

Even though some may find looking inside the body of an animal disgusting, the way the animals are displayed in this exhibition makes it so intriguing.

Again, more butterflies! How fantastic are the colours of this piece below..

The Exhibition is on at the Tate till September! Get Yourselves There!

I've been to London!

I'm back! 

Sorry my blog's been abit quiet recently! I have been away for the week in Brighton and then London but unfortunately without my laptop. Over the next few days I will be back and blogging about what I have been seeing and visiting along the way! 

Lovely Liberty London!

Before I left London I had to go have a nosey inside Liberty's. It is one of those places which makes you wish you had lots of money. I couldn't resist going in and headed straight to the furnishing fabrics section! I couldn't stop staring at everything! SO FAB!

Look how fab these are!

Beautiful Rugs!

I also came across the wonderful fabrics from Timorous Beasties. This is their new collection which I haven't seen before. These designs are digitally printed and capture the detail of the drawings beautifully. I love screen printing and thats where my passion is but I love how with digital print you can get the exact detail from the original drawings. I hope to broaden my knowledge of digital printing this year.

I also really really wish I had bought one of these! These are the designed Jubilee scarfs for Liberty and I love love love them! Its going to be such a busy summer in London with the Queens Jubilee and the Olympics! Going to be a great year!

I Easily Could buy so many Beautiful Things @ Bobo Kids....

Last week on my lunch hour I went to see what interesting shops caught my eye! This was a must see!

Bobo Kids! Inside it makes you either want children, or to be a kid yourself! I could of bought so many things! The shop has so many beautiful hand made gifts, furnishings and toys. With a love for furnishing fabrics and surface design this display was screaming to me: Take a picture :)

It is located near to the lovely Chelsea Green but if thats too far for you to travel then they have a website too! Its definitely worth checking out!

Little Streets of Colour...

Around in Chelsea where my placement is the back streets behind the shops are beautiful! Each house has its own characteristics. Whether it be it's front door and windows to the colour it's painted. It's like walking down a fairy tale street. Makes me feel like a child and that I'm not in the big city!

Markets Galore!

Love, love, love all the old antiques and junk could of bought so much but I was good! What really caught my eye was the old antique furniture! Would love a beautiful decorated home with vintage furniture! A girl can dream....

I love old cameras and have a couple myself! Could of easily bought another!
