Marrakech Medina Pt. 1

We’re back! Yes, we finally made it to Morocco without any more problems, and had a wonderful time! I would truly recommend going if you get the chance. We took way too many photos as per usual, so I’ve been agonising over how best to share them. I’ve decided to split them into a few different groups that I’ll share over the next few days.. I hope it’s not too much of an overload! :)

Stranded

We were meant to be on our way to Morocco right now, but our flight has been cancelled because of a strike in Spain.. so I’d just like to take this opportunity to send a big up-yours to the Spanish air traffic controllers who didn’t show up for work today.. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately there aren’t any flights now until Monday, so I’m left here looking at the snow out the window (which is actually quite pretty).. bitter much?? :)

Closing time

leavesAs you may have guessed from the title, I will be closing my shop for a little while! We have a very busy and exciting month ahead of us, including visits from our families and trips away, so by closing the shop I’m making way for some quality family and friend time.

As of this friday (26/11/10) the shop will be closed until early January.

I will still check Etsy and my emails, so should you need to contact me for any reason, please don’t hesitate to do so. I’ll also still be blogging, so feel free to drop by!

Spoonful

Do you know Spoonful Magazine? If not, you should – it’s wonderful! The latest one is the best, I think, because I’m in it!!

A few months ago I was invited to participate in a little challenge for the magazine (along with some other very talented people), which involved creating something to do with a chosen theme (in this case, the theme was a galleon/big ship). Below is what I came up with – it’s a screen print called ‘the milk’s gone bad’. I haven’t actually seen the magazine yet, it’s still on in the mail, so I’ve also included photos of the magazine from their blog. So exciting!

Congrats Anthea! Can’t wait to see the magazine in person!

Current Engagements

We spent the weekend in Zürich, and happened to have the most spectacular weather I think I’ve ever seen there. It was an unforgettable weekend full of photos, friends, champagne, and a proposal ;)
