HEARTS AND HANDLES

My little sister brought this lovely, sparkly heart for me a few christmas's ago and I still love it as much as I did the day I first saw it, if not more! It's huge, about 80cm tall and it really is a statement piece, the kind of thing that would dominate anything else you were to put on the same wall it was hanging on. It was brought from a pop up christmas shop in Norwich-rather tacky shop full of tinsel and singing christmas dogs. I hadn't seen anything like it until very recently I saw a tiny red version in Next Home.

When you look up close you notice the glittery tops sitting on wood shavings moulded into rose flower shapes. The centre of the flower is a little piece of wood doweling. Looks very effect however very delicate! 

Just as I was uploading the photos of my glittery rose heart these little chest handles my mum recently brought caught my eye. She spent ages looking in various stores and online shops for the 'perfect collection' of handles to add to a new Ercol chest. They look lovely all sitting in a line-or in a small cluster in a pot as I had originally found them.

HOMES AND GARDENS-THIS SEASON'S BEDLINEN

I came across this double paged spread in Homes and Gardens and I found it so inspiring. A range of vibrant florals amongst plain prints definitely caught anyones eye whilst reading this! As I have an upcoming project I want to prepare for I was a little stuck on direction, however seeing this variety of pattern simply hung on a peg line has given me new hope! I want my final exhibition for university to look like this, I want vibrant, colourful and patterned all captured in such a small space.
