B for Berlin

 

 

Back to the Betahaus, back to Berlin!

I'm on my way to attend and speak at the  

The Hive!

I can't wait to stay at the Michel Berger hotel, catch up with my blogging friends, make new acquaintances and, and, and, be INSPIRED!

That's what blogging's all about, isn't it?

Playing With Nature

 

  

 

 

Look, we're playing with nature, Savannah's planted some wild thyme for the bathroom.

Andreja's been making beautiful clouds for her boys' room, Justine's been printing with leaves, and I just love this idea of painting and framing pressed flowers!

Hope you enjoy my Playing With Nature post over at Handmade Charlotte today!

Snippets

How much of your home / family life should you share online?

I am still working on my speech for The Hive Conference next week and thinking about my public image. I think my blog genuinely reflects who I am, well, part of me at least. I also share lots of other snippets of our daily life on Facebook and pinterest to complete the picture.

I am a simple girl at heart, and the end of the day I will always be drawn to natural basics.  I guess that's why I'm pleased to share this link to This Is Paper's new shop.

Love!

Trace Ta Route

 

 

 

 

Trace ta route.

Make your way.

Leave a mark.

Change directions.

Don't look back.

En avant...

I'm working on my speech for The Hive Bloggers' Conference in Berlin next weekend and thinking about how much blogging has changed my life. Kickcan and Conkers has also evolved over the past four years (already!). I'm not sure where it'll be heading in the future, but, oh my, what a journey it has been so far! 

Thank you for the inspiration:

A Modern Menagerie

 

 I joined etsy recently and I'm really enjoying it.

I've always used this site as an online resource, and thought I knew it pretty well... 

until I looked a little closer.

Every day I'm amazed by the sheer number of talented artists, makers and designers out there.

Thanks for the modern nursery art inspiration:

Just Because

 

Just because

I'd hate you to miss all these fun DIYs that I featured on Handmade Charlotte yesterday.

I included one in my post but you can find all the others on De Rien Madame's blog.

They're in French but switch on a translation tool and you'll be fine!
