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 :)

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.

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!

Inspired by Emily Ryan
I love these unusual dresses by Emily Ryan, they are sculptural but simple at the same time. If I were to choose one for myself, it would have to be the Ruffle Pocket Dress (bottom picture). Take a look for yourself and find you favourite here.
