Dinky Vintage- Shop- Brighton

It's ages since I'd been back to Brighton and there were quite a few new shops that had popped up since my last visit. Dinky Vintage is at 39b Sydney Street, in the North Laines, for all your Vintage kidswear needs!

highly recommended!

If you're in Brighton anytime soon, do yourself a favour and visit the Brighton Museum's Bloomsbury exhibition...I totally fell in love with the paintings of Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell (sister of Virginia Woolf)...

35...

I turn 35 next month! I can't believe it, time is going so fast. Life is very different to how I imagined it...but in many ways it's better, despite the down times with friends and family illnesses over the past 3 years and more. I'm going to embrace my mid 30's and go on a nice holiday!

Other blog...

started this other blog, as I prefer the cleaner look of Tumblr, but staying here for now...

finally...

finished this (rather badly made) patchwork bedspread! I cheated and used the machine to do the whole thing...started making it in the winter, then got bored of doing it, and found it today..

sketches...

tidy shelf!

I finally sorted out my desk and shelves! Feels so much better :)
