Snapshots of Life Recently


Clockwise: * First blackberries of the year (these went in a pie) * My cousin's lovely handmade wedding, complete with Zimbabwean bunting and Northumbrian tartan (and my first wedding) *  Poppies are so emotive yet delicate and vibrant * An ancient oak tree snapped on a dog walk *



Clockwise: * Fairytale-like mushrooms hiding in the undergrowth * A beautiful sunny tree avenue where I like to go to think and write * Amber with marigolds * Mint iced mocha and a good book *



Clockwise: * Alfie is always happy to pose * An embroidered Beatrix card I made for my parents' wedding anniversary (not cross stitch this time!) * Pressed flowers and washi tape - a fun combination * Making a game pie for Pretty Nostalgic magazine (and wearing a jumper in a vain attempt to pretend it was Autumn at the time) *

  1. Gorgeous photographs Anna! I love these type of posts, they're so effective in summing up one's week! I love your nature photography, and the mushrooms- very BP!! I especially like the tree avenue, it reminds me of something out of Alice in Wonderland, I'm not sure why, but it does! I adore the Pip Studio teacup, i was looking at these in a shop the other day, maybe one day I'll treat myself to one! xx

    1. There is something so magical about the tree avenue, you're right, I always find it so relaxing to visit there, often with a packed lunch!

      Defintely re. the PiP Studio teacup - I have two teacups, two plates in pink, and the teapot and milk jug in blue and love using them, hoping to add more to the collection before too long!

  3. Really love the elements of nature photography in this post - the mushrooms picture is especially lovely and those beautiful yellow flowers in your vintage glass bowl look utterly divine! Tree avenues are where I imagine the fairies to play!
