Pola Monday...

I know it is Tuesday...yesterday I was in London so I didn't make it to post my new Monday posting-Pola Monday. As you can all see I'm very excited about summer being on its way ( for many reasons) ;-)
Have a good week.

Fun Story...

Remember this story? Inspired by the project, Joanna Goddard from A cup of Jo left two disposable cameras on park benches--one in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn. When they went back to pick up the cameras they were full rolls and all had been shot! How cool is that! You can check them out here. Hyde Park-watch out!

Pola Monday...

Hi and happy Monday !...I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was eventful to say the least including looking after what I thought was a stray cat!..a long story. The cat has gone back to his home now and we can all be at peace including our cat Pasha ! ;-)
After the last posting I got inspired by the Pola images again so I thought for fun on Mondays I'll post a Poladroid image. This two images were taken on our trip to Singapore two years ago...since then I dream of going back to that part of the world again...I just don't why I cant stop thinking of holidays !!..mmm...back to work.

Winter on its way out ?

Today has been such a lovely sunny day that it has made me very happy and productive...I'm sure it had the same effect on many today -I can't wait for spring to arrive!

A few days away...

Hi to all and I hope things have been good for you. Back now from a few days away in my beloved hometown, Barcelona. We also had the great opportunity to stay a few days in the lovely village Taradell, a few kilometres outside the city. Idyllic countryside & village strolls with lovely wood burning aroma coming from the farm fireplaces against the cold breeze and beaming sunshine with too many coffee & pastry stops are now a mere distant memory ...back to my cups of tea, Computer and yep you've guessed it - dreaming up my next holiday break !

Oscar Congrats 2 Sean Penn!

I'm so pleased that Sean Penn won an Oscar for best actor. I loved his portrayal of Harvey Milk as I mentioned in my previous post here.

For the new brides/grooms to be...

I hope you all had a good valentine weekend...and for those that have now a wedding to plan and need to let your friends and relatives about your day, why not send them a "save the date card"?..some new designs in my shop here. Any image from the shop gallery can applied to upon request..Have a good week ! ;-)

My Sunday Movie...

Having been busy with xmas and Top Drawer show I haven't been able to get back into my Sunday afternoon routine of catching a movie. As some of you may know, that afternoon is sacred for me! Thankfully yesterday I managed to go to the cinema and see Milk. The true story of Harvey Milk that changed history with his courage and determination to fight for human rights. In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into public office in America. He not only fought for gay rights but for senior citizens to union workers. Sadly he was assassinated in 1978 but remained a hero for all Americans...I loved this movie and has now given me a better understanding of San Francisco culture.Sean Penn absolutely brilliant acting deserves, in my opinion the Oscar that he has been nominated for! I highly recommend this movie to any of you that may be considering to see it...enjoy and happy Monday !

Welcome back Jonathan Ross!

After a 3 months ban from for being a naughty boy, I'm soooooooo happy that Jonathan Ross is back on the radio. It will make my Saturday mornings work much better...welcome back Jonathan ! Missed Ya !

They call it mellow yellow.........

Yellow Roses for financial wealth..


Lovely lemons to cleanse the soul..

Yellow flower for a bit of Sunshine in your life...

For those that might be suffering a little bit with the "winter blues", I thought I'd inspire some with some happy yellow colours for a great kick start to 2009. They say yellow is a very inspiring, creative colour and that yellow roses bring luck with financial wealth...for me I needed to add some happiness to the cold new year ...........

2008 memorable moments...

The most adorable children...

Happy New 09 to you all!I'm sure like me you must be thinking that xmas was long ago and where has the time gone ! As we go into a new year with time for reflection & soul searching I have been reflecting on the past year events which have taken a lot of my time in the last couple of days ( I know I think far too much sometimes, so I've been told ...) That said I thought I'd compile some images that were most memorable for me in my 2008, which are indubitably our trip to South Africa; Leaving me now dreaming up of another vacation for 2009 as the snowflakes keep on falling outside my window...
