i don't care for fancy things...

...oh but i do. Tabby and I hosted a little ladies tea party this Sunday with special guests - my old friend, Swifty, who runs a supper club (The Shed) from her sweet summerhouse in her back garden, and Katey, who is an amazingly talented illustrator I recently got to know in London through friends (watch this space...Katey has been kind enough to design something for one of my new projects...more to follow).
I just feel really lucky to have such creative, inspirational people who i can invite to tea...even if my heart almost exploded with the caffeine and sugar intake...

...and here, a song i like, that's it. and we did not talk about boys at all today....not at all. Hmm.

My Boys (Animal Collective cover 'My Girls') - Taken By Trees

why must I always see the ending at the beginning...

...i just heard this song on the radio at work (erm, whilst working...ahem) and had to post it immediately. Casey Dienel's voice is just beautiful...touring this year with Taken By Trees, very cool indeed. Icarus is the opening track on the new album, Kairos, out on 9 March...definitely on the record shopping list...
