I think that these days technology has taken over and people rarely write to each other. I personally think that if people wrote 'snail mail' again, people wouldn't be as lonely and isolated. Some people don't have friends in their area etc... and it is nice for them to receive a sweet little note every now and then. If any of you need a pen pal, just email me and I will happily write to you :) I was sent these beautiful handmade cards from a sweet little etsy shop called Fifona Designs you can find them here. Fifona Designs specialises in handmade, unique products that are all absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend Fifona Designs, everything about the cards they sent me was to a high standard - the way they were packaged, the way they look, the way they are made. I am truly in love with these cards and I cannot wait until I send them to people although it will be hard to let go of the beautiful designs!

Last week me and my mum found an old plant pot holder at the side of the road. It was rusty, unloved and looked like it needed a home. Me and my mum have always had an interest in upcycling furniture and have done it countless times before, because the results are so fulfilling. Upcycling is so easy to do and very fun too, it doesn't involve much thought and doesn't cost the earth either.

Today I was feeling really unhappy so I went down the town for a little look about, I was just browsing in Clintons when I stumbled across a sale stand full of loads of gorgeous stationary products. It was 75% off and I really couldn't resist! My last £20 (the change from my sony cybershot) was defiantly well spent. I spent £19.50 and it would have cost me £78.00! I am so happy with my new purchases. They aren't just any old pieces of stationary either, they are practically designer, including brands like: Kirstie Allsopp and Sanderson. If you can get down to Clintons soon you are sure to grab a bargain! They are very vintage inspired pieces and I absolutely love the whole range they are selling. The quality is amazing and perfect for carrying around in your handbag. Personally I am saving them for college and blog planning. Let me know if you get some and tell me what you think, I 1000000% recommend them!!
