Hannah Horn
Freelance illustrator Hannah Horn's winged creatures are just stunning, came across a few today on Browns windows in South Molton Street. Eerie but beautiful images.

Still Snap...
This amazing photograph has just won Daniel Beltra the WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR AWARD showcasing from this friday at The Natural History Museum here in London. Have a beautiful picture from this exhibition a few years ago which still graces my wall today and think this one here is just as fascinating... unfortunately for much sadder reasons and terrible circumstances, as it captures pelicans caught up in the gulf oil spill of last year. The title 'Still Life in Oil' is a wonderfully clever play on conventional composition titles, as what one would expect as meaning the medium- the oil part is instead indicating the bird's plight. Yet almost resembling an oil painting at the same time with the amazing colours, textures and fine details. Stunning and sad...
Well done that D-B!

Gooey Gift!
Practically yelped with joy when this mini honey jar was hand delivered by resident bee-keeper Mr F tonight! The label reads A present from the bees from yonder courtyard below and tastes like delicate blooms... not even the smallest whiff of speciality east london chicken bones!!
... love, love, love!

On A Wing...
Although I didn't actually purchase this today-I flounced around for many a minute in 'Vintage Per Sempre' trying to muster up the perfect excuse/occasion to own such a Stevie Nicks-esq gown but admitted defeat in the end.
... Well 'til next time and I have a 1970's themed eve on the agenda!!
BIG sleeve/wing love!

Prettiest Price-tag
Love this price-tag that was recently swinging from my vintage lacy flapper girl dress... serrated scissors, safety pin and an 1980s beach photograph
Tah-daaaaaaaah! Genius.

Degas Dancers
Popped to the Royal Academy the other evening for a bubble-filled viewing of Degas' Ballet Dancers... perhaps the ratio of bubbles to pondering was a little out of proportion, but nonetheless some amazing oil and pastel works of fluffy tutus and pointed toes were seen.
The blue variety were my most favourite with their hints of enhancing oranges...
Just beeeeeeautiful.
