Thursday Love - A New Year

Tonight I am celebrating the new year at home. I want to stay in the warm with Champagne and good food. Perfect!


I just want to say a huge thank you for reading my little blog and for your wonderful comments.

I hope you have fun tonight and I'll see you in 2010!

Holiday Time!

I am taking a break for a week to enjoy Christmas with family and friends.
I hope you all have a wonderful time, whatever you have planned.

I will return before the year is over, but for now....Happy Christmas!

Thursday Love - Winter

I just love to be outside on a sunny, crisp and very cold day. The winter scenes below are so beautiful!

A Weekend Away

I have created a brand new postcard set for my shop, Cassia Beck.

A Weekend Away is full of nostalgia and childhood memories. Wouldn't you like to go away for the weekend to ride a carousel, eat ice cream and relax in front of a beautiful sea view? I know I would!





I know this post isn't very seasonal, as much as I love winter I can't help but long for summer days.

Hello Weekend!

I found this little fox abandoned on the pavement today. She's wearing a cute yellow dress with a pocket at the front which holds a pair of scissors and a ruler. A crafty fox!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Thursday Love - Christmas!

I am more excited than ever about Christmas, my son is almost two and will know what's going on this year.

The magic has returned!

Junzo Terada

I bought myself a little treat after working so hard in preparation for the Christmas fair.

It's a little book of postcards by Japanese artist Junzo Terada. Each illustration is so charming and takes me back to my childhood.

I am now on a mission to find the perfect frames for some of my favourites. Part of me doesn't want to take them out of the book but it would be such a shame to hide them away on a bookshelf.

Free Goodies!

My shop Cassia Beck has had 99 sales!

To celebrate, I am giving my hundredth customer two free 5x5" prints and one postcard set of their choice with their order.

Just state your choices in the "message to seller" box as you check out.


Happy shopping!

decor8

As a regular reader of decor8 I was over the moon to find Lola's Room was included in Etsy Take Five Tuesday.




Thanks Holly!

Big news!

It was my birthday yesterday, I opened my cards and presents in the morning and had a huge breakfast.

Later in the day while I was still in my pyjamas, my boyfriend announced he had arranged for us to go out to dinner. Nights out are difficult to arrange now we have a young son so it was pretty exciting news!

The dinner was just perfect.

We decided to take a walk through the Royal Pavilion gardens before catching a cab home, it was there my boyfriend proposed! I said yes without hesitation.



I am a very happy girl indeed :)

New Camera

Well, here is the camera I talked about yesterday.
This little cutie arrived in the post this morning. Now I need to test it out!


Print available in Lola's Room.

Inspired by canemah

I recently discovered this fantastic shop dedicated to fine art and old cameras.

I feel like I am in a sweet shop every time I visit, I have returned several times to drool over the huge selection of cameras. I decided to treat myself so I bought a green Savoy camera which I just can't wait to get my hands on!

If you visit Canemah and see something you like, buy it! These beauties are getting snapped up!









I'd like all of the above please Santa!

All I Want For Xmas

I am just finishing some brooches ready for All I Want for Xmas, a gift and design market. This will take place at the Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, London for four weeks beginning 26th November. See here for opening times and exact dates.

All Things Original are running a stall with some gorgeous and unique goodies by sellers on their website including my jewellery collection, Cassia Rose.

Here are a handful of brooches that will be available.



If you are in London during the run up to Christmas, pop in and have a look around, I doubt you will leave empty handed.

Stick Me No. 2

Popular etsy seller Yaelfran asked me to be part of a collaborative sticker book along with six other photographers/illustrators.

I am very excited to share with you the finished product, available here! You can now have six little pieces of Lola's Room along with a small collection from other artists.

Inspired by dollyknits

dollyknits is a very sweet place to visit. I am particularly taken with the hats, it's so hard to decide which I would buy. I love the quirky "Slipped Pom Pom Hat" with a nod back to the 1920s, I also love the cosiness of the "Flap Hats" for those extra cold days.

Take a look for yourself, you'll also find some very lovely knitted brooches!
