Skip Diving - 1980s Fanta Orangeade Can

There was a time in my life where I was unable to walk past a pile of rubbish on the street or a skip without having a nosey. These days I'm not as bad - but maybe that's because most of my home is full of found furniture and I have no more space?

I found this old can (check out the old ring pull hole!) on a skip at a house they're renovating down the street. I love the colour orange and the graphics are great. After a clean up it looks quite at home on the shelf in my office, don't you think?

Party Baby Bunting

Our littlest, baby Rudie turned 1 last week. We've all been ill so we kept the day low key and just had cake with family.

I like to decorate the mantelpiece in the living room for Birthdays and celebrations so came up with this simple idea for party hat bunting. I don't think it's complicated enough to write a tutorial, but if you're curious I just enlarged four of our favourite pictures onto an A4 sheet and used some scrap booking paper I had leftover from doing the boys baby books to make the party hats. I had some pink and red bakers twine from my recent trip to Fred Aldous which worked perfectly. I think my husband is going to have it up on his desk at work after we take it down. I think it might be a new family Birthday tradition.

Selina Kyle - Style Icon

I have a lot of style icons, but one of my all time favourites is the character Selina Kyle from Tim Burton's Batman Returns. Don't get me wrong, when she changes into Catwoman, she's a total bad-ass, but her cutesy pastel vintage styled apartment sends me all giddy (I avert my eyes when she smashes it all up - I hate that part) One day, I'll have my very own Hello There neon lamp - just need to find a company crazy enough to make me one from film stills.

Should Selina fancy doing a bit of shopping, I've made a Polyvore board of things she might like...
