Pin it on Pinterest!

I love just spending time wandering around on-line (not that I get much chance).  A particular favourite is Pinterest. For those of you that haven't come across it, it is the most wonderful melting pot of things that are loved and admired.  You use it like a pinboard.  Find a picture of something on the internet, 'pin it' and then you add it to your pinboard.  If someone else likes what you've 'pinned', then they can re-pin it.


If you are a user of Pinterest, I'd love to know some of your favourite finds??  Here are some of mine:








Just a little something to brighten your day!  If you are interested in setting up your own Pinboard, let me know, because you need to be invited ...

A fabulous new magazine for all things gorgeous ...

Have you seen this? 

Mollie Makes launched in the UK on May 12 and from June 9 in Australia.  Doesn't it look fabulous?




Not only have they produced a delicious Living & Loving Handmade magazine, they have also made this sweet little teaser (look out for the clothes peg panty flashers)!!



Isn't it delightful?  And don't you wish we all had a craft table that big to work on?

To kick things off ...

Here is Anatole.  The Mouse.  Anatole is a sophisticated french mouse who works in the Duval Cheese Factory with his good friend Gaston.  The book was first published in 1956 and was re-issued in 2006 to celebrate the publisher's 50th anniversary.  Do you have a favourite 'obscure' childhood book?  I love that I can honour this cheesy little mouse by giving him the naming rights to this blog.
