Seaseme St. Nostalgia


Now that I am in my twenties I am clinging to anything that keeps me young at heart. Recently I have suddenly become associated with anything to do with my favourite childhood show, Seaseme St. and although I have done nothing to encourage this, I am embracing it happily! ;)

New Treasures

It would seem that through recent shopping expeditions, the constant rain (yes, it's June alright) and birthday gifts I have accquired some wonderful and beautiful things. Some are thanks to a nack of spotting a bargain, others as a results of my resourfulness (aka bordom!), but most thanks has to go to my wonderful Maitiú who has an exquisite eye for birthday presents ;) Above are pictured a cute yellow 60's style satchel (I'm loving the 60s lately!) €13, and tan brogues that cost all of €5 and I;ve been living in for the past week.

Wall of photos of Maitiú and my past year and a half together.


I've been wanting a new bed spread for a while to replace my grubby white one and it just so happens that I found this old one which spruced up nicely once a throw and yellow pillow covers were added :)

My love boat from my love...
...and a beautiful wooden sewing kit...
...and the cutest and smallest easel and canvas I;ve ever seen! Thanks M. x


So I leave you with the promise of dress designs and creations for a later blog entry....
