Board#112: Great Gatsby

Morning!! Here we are at Monday morning again! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend... mine was great.. thanks for asking :-) A very satisfying weekend with lots achieved which is always a good way to kick start the week... even some hardcore (that's a stretch!!) gardening in the rain!! Whilst we're still a fair way of winter with the rainy weekend we've just had, I had a glimpse of what's in store for us in a few months and this board just makes me thing of a cozy rainy winter afternoon in a gorgeous old English mansion, with an open fire roaring, men smoking cigars, women dressed up to the nines... you get the picture. It's the rich colours and the detailed carpets... would be such a fabulous colour scheme for a winter wedding!

Style Me Pretty feature with Simply Bloom

I know many of you probably saw this on Style Me Pretty last week but hey you can't blame a girl for reposting it right? I mean this is possibly one of the most, if not THE most exciting things to have happened in my career. A few weeks ago one of my favourite photography duo's, Simply Bloom, said that they loved the inspiration boards I put together and that they'd love to do a shoot around one. Well of course I just thought all my Christmas's had come at once!! Then they asked me to do the stationery for said shoot and well it was all on!! It's no secret that I have loved their work for some time, and have often featured it in my posts. Of course in between all our communicaton, my computer nightmare happened (yeh remember that day my hard drive died!) and I had about 3 days to get the stationery to the US which at this time of year is nigh impossible... but hey Christine and Vania worked their magic and look how it all turned out! First up the board...

And then the stunning shoot that they did around it. Isn't it just gorgeous... who wouldn't love to have their Christmas table looking just like this? I adore the little mugs with the peppermint candy on the rim!! So sweet... and the bows... it's all just perfection! A thousand thank yous to Simply Bloom for giving me this opportunity!
