Just a little note to mention a new feature I am working on for the blog.
Whilst planning my wedding in 2009, I surprised myself - and my family - by getting heavily addicted to wedding blogs, in fact, that is probably the point at which I really started to take notice of blogs and find so many amazing ideas and inspirations online. It wasn't so much ogling dresses and shoes that got me hooked, but more, looking at the amazing design elements and creative touches people had brought to their happy occasions.
To me, parties and celebrations of all kinds provide an opportunity to indulge my creative side and pay attention to all the little details I love. My wedding was no exception, and thanks to all the amazing inspiration from fabulous blogs such as Green Wedding Shoes, Once Wed, Style Me Pretty and of course Martha Stewart, I was able to indulge - in fact - make that over-indulge - my creative side to the max!
This creative event design bug shows no signs of disappearing and since lots of my friends and family have been doing the wedding thing lately, I've been able to bore them with lots of ideas and suggestions gleaned from all kinds of blogs - I love the way everyone shares their DIY projects and ideas - yay!
So, hopefully, with a little help from my (super creative and gorgeous) friends, I'll be starting a new Happy Occasions feature really soon - maybe they will even let me share a few little snippets from their happy days too.......
Until I get started with the feature, here's a little something to whet your appetite. Inspired by an image I came across on Martha Stewart Weddings, of beautiful flowers, simply arranged in vintage tea tins, I used the same idea and collected tins, bottles and teapots which my fabulous florist friend Louise filled with beautiful blooms. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a great pic right now, but you get the idea....

Vintage tins have such a nice charm about them - I was always obsessed with my Granny's button tin when I was little, and remember this moment in Amelie (gorgeous gorgeous film) when she finds the tin full of treasures? Lovely!

In honour of the humble tin - here's a new list I curated on Etsy - These are a few of my favourite tins!
Hope you enjoy - look out for the new Happy Occasions feature coming soon.
