A Pretty Blog

I must confess - I am obssessed with The Pretty Blog (if you didn't know that already).

I haven't had a chance to blog much in the last few days, but here are some of my favourites from The Pretty Blog.

The most beautiful wedding dress from this gorgeous wedding.

'Quilt' cookies. Read more about them here.

Beautiful baby mobile. Seen on The Pretty Blog, available on Etsy.

And now for some wedding love...

Ballet is hugely popular at the moment with ballerina inspired touches being seen everywhere, and weddings are no exception. Check out this wedding that featured a live ballet performance as well as this wedding with the prettiest bridal (ballet) slippers (and an epic car).

Hope you had a lovely weekend! 

Oh... and before you go- please have a look at this fantastic wedding video. It is beautiful, sweet and filled with such intense and authentic emotion... its just perfect!

Valentine's Day Love

I love any excuse to celebrate the people I love and go a bit crazy with crafts, cookies and gifts, so it is no surprise that I am getting hugely excited for Valentine's Day. I have seen some amazing things all over the internet (what would we do without blogs?) and will post some great Valentine's Day ideas a little later (crafts, cookies and other pretty things).

But in the mean time enjoy swooning over this magnificent creation - a cake with a HEART in the middle- how genius is that??

Pinterested?

So Christmas is around the corner and I can feel the holiday spirit starting to stir. How is your  Christmas shopping coming along? Have you put together your wishlist yet?

I don't have much of a wishlist yet, but I have just discovered a site called Pinterest (thank you Wiley Valentine). Have you heard of it? It is a catalogue of lovely bits and pieces... like a virtual pinboard for you to keep track of your favourite things. You must check it out! Although- I have to warn you- this site should come with a disclaimer- stay away if you have deadlines or plans to get any work done- you will be distracted by the hundreds of gorgeous pictures. 

Here are a few of my favourites:

I could keep going all night... I guess it is time for me to get my own Pinterest account. Watch this space!
