Hello everyone, I hope you’re
all feeling gooooood! Sorry for my lack of posts this week. I have my
folks staying, the weather is beautiful and I’m having a birthday! I’ll
be back next week. Have very happy weekends! Byeeeeeeeeee :)
Yesterday
We made our annual trip to Tent London
yesterday. Battling Bertie’s pushchair through thick crowds of
Shoreditch ‘trendies’ and inhaling various around-the-world cuisine
aromas; which made me very hungry, so we got two vanilla custard
doughnuts from St John Bread & Wine. Oh my, they were delicious (I didn't eat both)! The best doughnut you will ever taste in my opinion.
Anyway,
we made it to Brick Lane and had a pleasant browse around this year’s
show, which I feel didn’t live up to previous years...but again, that’s
just my opinion. It was great to see Famille Summerbelle there, and lovely to watch Bertie playing with Miller Goodman’s famous shapes. He wasn’t keen on leaving the table (he kept saying “mine, mine”) but a rice-cake bribe did the trick!
After this, we stepped back into our spaceship and flew home....(referring to the Gherkin there, in case you didn’t get me...I’m so hilarious.....). I hope your weekends were fun and you have a great week. I turn 33 in a few days. Yikes! :)
WTF? (What The Frank)?
Some of you may have seen this
place, or even ‘pinned’ it by now. I was going to post this next week,
but have decided to get it out there right away before it’s old news! I
will let the pictures do most of the talking and woah, there are lots;
so hard to edit these beauties down. I’ve featured homes styled by and
for sale through Fantastic Frank before. Here’s the latest (via Anna G again). I am all over it! Would soon get trashed if we moved in though....
☁
I finally got around to hanging Alessandra’s cloud on the wall, and am so pleased with the results.
Wishing you
all a very happy weekend! I hope to be a bit more present here next
week. Thank you for all your comments/orders/messages. I am trying to
get myself organised and caught up with everything (including cleaning
my house, washing, ironing clothes that have been in a basket for over a
month....that’s why I wear the same trousers all the time etc etc.... )
I am just a bit tired at the moment (as I keep telling you)! How dull! I
promise to be less dull next week :)

Bertie ♥ His Bike
Helloooooo.
How are you doing? We are very tired over here. This little Bertie is
up several times at night, so I am still very much Zombie Kerry!
In
other news, this is Bertie’s new balance bike, which my hawk-eyed
husband spotted in a charity shop for just £5 last week. It looks like
it has barely been used before - Score! I thought Bertie might be a bit
small for it at the moment, but he seems quite happy trotting along. He
is yet to perch on the seat, but it’s all good practice isn’t it?! I am also enjoying snuggling up with Bertie in his stripy jumper (also picked out by daddy). ’Tis getting chilly....
Random Views
Some views (and a Maisie) in
analogue and digital, taken over the past couple of months. Anyone
recognise where they are taken? I am definitely feeling the change of
seasons :(
Get better soon to my dad! He managed to break a couple of bones at the weekend being a big kid! I’ll say no more father-dear (if you’re reading this)! :)

▲ On Saturday ▲
Yesterday with Books and Shed
was lovely. Blue skies above meant we had a pleasant (and dry) stroll
along Camden Passage, browsing in the little shops and seeing about
50,000 ’nice things.’ I took barely any photographs. We were mostly
chatting and eating, so I didn’t feel like snapping away. Nice to meet
you Lou! Bristol next time innit :)
▲ Friday ▲
Hello Friday and hello friends :) I bought this T-Shirt by Lizzie Stewart the
minute I laid eyes on it...one of those impulse buys.....No money? Well
I’ll darn well find some somewhere (legally of course). Very happy that
I did too. I might wear it tomorrow, when I will be hanging out with Books and Shed;
child-free I will add! I won’t know what to do with my arms! Does
anyone with little ones get that? When Dan is around at the weekend and
he pushes the pram, I really don’t know what to do with my arms/hands or
where they should go! I must look like a right twit.
Haven’t met Shed
in the flesh before and am very much looking forward to it....Lou, I’ll
be the lady in the bear :) Unless I decide to wear something else of
course.
Also, a little picture of my sweet birdy card from Aina.
She very kindly went out of her way in getting me a copy of Swedish
Family Living, which one of my prints was featured in. Thanks nice lady!
Enjoy your weekends!
p.s. I can now make triangles, look ▲▲▲ want some more? ▲▲......▼▼▼▼ upside down aswell. These things please me no end.

Fly Away
Hello.
Just popping in today with some paper planes. I would so love to be on a
real plane right now. A holiday would be most welcome....Hmmmm, where
would we go? I keep seeing gorgeous pictures of people’s travels on
their blogs and it makes me crave an escape even more. Some nice ones here, here, here.
I am very tired this week. Bertie’s sleep had
finally started to improve, but now for some reason, we’re back where
we were; he wakes frequently, I feed him, he’s in and out of our bed, I
can’t sleep as he wriggles constantly and kicks me...never known
fidgeting like it! Oooh, fun.
Wandering
around in a daze is what I have been doing most of the week; tripping
over toys, saucepans, sliding on baking trays, spoons (the latest play
things). Yesterday Dan put a saucepan on the hob, switched on the gas,
lifted the lid ready to add Bertie’s food and discovered a plastic pig
inside...beginning to sweat. Pork for dinner? Admittedly we did have a
chuckle as it really summed up my day!
And don’t get me started on Bertie’s eating habits...awful, barely eats a thing, only wants to eat rice cakes.....ho-hum.
So anyway, who’s coming on holiday with me and where shall we go?
Home Details
Gooood
day to you. Nice weekends? I sure hope so. I took a few photos around
my little flat. It’s nice to appreciate the smaller details
sometimes....There is certainly more of a chill in the air now, so I’ve been stomping around in my cosy slippers and cardigans when at home; actually, when am I not in my slippers?!
Also,
my brother-in-law has been doing some design work for Burt’s Bees =
freebies galore! I hadn’t used their products before (too expensive for
me), but they are super-duper. We have mainly been using the baby
bath/skin care range, which have been lovely for Bertie’s skin. On
Saturday however, he’d nabbed me this hand cream and it’s A-C-E.
