LAST TINIEST ART SHOW-DECEMBER 2011
All things bright and beautiful, the last tiniest art show of 2011. The sun is shining in one half of the sky, the other half is clouding over with a menacing grey. After all the fun and games of Christmas are packed away we still need some colour inspiration to start a new year. With [...]
SILK VELVET DIAMANTE VINTAGE

OCTOBER SURVIVAL GUIDE
So now the Summer has really gone, the smell of fresh mown grass, roses and candy floss are replaced with rain, fallen leaves and hearty dinners.
