1. Reading… one of my all time favourite past times. I’ve just finished The House At Riverton & it was fantastic. I got so drawn in by the characters & it was one of those books that you really just can’t put down because you need to know what happens.. compulsive!

2. Mayonnaise. I am a total mayo junkie… on my chips, on salad, on jacket potatoes, even roast potatoes!

3. The tapestry work of Emily Peacock. The cushion above is a joint design with Rob Ryan, papercut artist extraordinaire & is available as a kit for you to make… I want! 

4. My ipod. Yes it’s hot pink…. Drummer Boy got me it for christmas & it’s an absolute lifesaver on long journeys!

5. Matroyshkas… I don’t know why. I did have quite a collection but I seem to have lost a few on the way.. payday soon so I might have to go & snoop round the shops! I just love the simplicity & elegance of their design I guess. I tried drawing a couple last night but easier said than done.. I’m going to doodle the Scandinavian flower designs that go with quite a bit over the next few days to practise & then have another go.

I actually got a pair of earrings made yesterday, green crystal chips (aventurine?) & gold-coloured wire, they look really nice. I need to get a new battery for my camera & then I’ll be able to share some pics with you! What are your favourite things??

1. Cameras… I think almost everyone in blogland has an addiction to these… (source www.facehunter.blogspot.com) 2. My owl money box (6″ tall, he fits a lot of change in him!) & owl stuff in general. Real owls are beautiful, owl images tend to be very cute… I have an owl diary, my owl money box, an owl candle holder.. you get the picture 🙂 3. stripes.. in particular stripey socks. I have many pairs! (www.weheartit.com) 4. Greys Anatomy… I can’t help it, I love it. So what if i cry all the way through?! 5. Tattoos… I have two. This one is gorgeous, but no, it isn’t mine! (www.weheartit.com) 6.Crumpets… for breakfast, with lots of butter. Mmmmm.. food Heaven. 7. Amelie… “I like to look for things no one else catches..” Amelie Poulain… such a beautiful & sweet movie. 8.Tea… I like a latte from time to time but a good cup of tea beats everything else hands down!
