Back to Yorkshire....

I have now finished my placement and stayed an extra two weeks bringing it to 2 months which went extremely fast! I feel like I have learnt so much and feel very inspired! Definitely worth all the spending and opened my eyes to how much it costs living in the capital.

Also... I can't believe its actually march already and already one week in! Its very strange going from the 'big smoke' and travelling about to being back home living next to the countryside and hearing the birds tweet in a morning rather than the loud noises of planes. I shall be still busy posting lots of things though so please keep checking the blog :) More to follow.....

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!

Lots and Lots of Eggs!

London is entertaining in lots of ways but what I found myself slightly addicted to was looking for these eggs! In preparation for easter we have The Big Egg Hunt in London with 200 beautiful eggs hidden around the city! I only managed to see a few but I loved it when I discovered one! Below is my favourites! If you in London, keep an eye out for them.

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!

Totes Amazing @CCAD Folio!

I finally got the chance to quickly nip up to Hartlepool and visit the wonderful Folio Shop @CCAD! Here is a little snap I took featuring my tote bags! I felt very proud! Everything in the shop is stunning! If you haven't popped in get yourself there! Its open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 10-3pm.

How Hot was it Last Thursday!

Oh my! Last thursday it was so hot.... 17C!!! Normally we are complaining its too cold in the studio but on thursday we was having to keep the door open. On my lunch I went to a local park to eat. It was great to not need to wear a coat! The park had a variety of people in there with someone even doing some Tai Chi. It was very relaxing and even got to see a little robin. I hope for some lovely weather next week :)
