Beach Hut Love!

One of my favourite parts about getting to go home (our other home... like Coraline, but not evil...) is going to the beach and visiting Thomas's family beach hut!

Built by Thomas's Grandpop the beach hut has been through all kinds of weather and luckily Thomas's Granny had a picture to show us from around the time it was first built in 1979! (which I accidently brought back to Leeds - oops! Least I got to scan it though... sorry Granny!)

{this is a newer beach hut similar to the one towering above the little beach hut on the right picture}
Over the last 10 years the sand and the other beach huts have built up around the little beach hut but it still looks great and is perfect for a bacon, sausage and egg sandwich on the beach!
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
p.s. all the photos except the top were taken with our new yashica samurai - arent they lovely? I'm completely smitten with that camera!

The weekend in fuji's...

August bank holidays in Norfolk are quickly becoming my favourite weekends!!
(see some posts from last year here, here and here!)
We were completely spoiled over the 4 days by our friends and family
(honestly, we have the most amazing friends and family, I love it!)

This time around I had my fuji instax mini and everytime I use it
I fall a little bit more in love with it... its just so cute!

Unfortunately the batteries were dead on Friday but after a quick rescue (thanks K!) we were back in action for our day on the broads on Saturday and it was perfect! I can't believe that after living so many years in Norfolk that I haven't done it sooner!

We went to Cromer on Sunday for the morning - don't let these pcitures fool you - it was cold, wet and windy for some of it! Worth it though - I always love Cromer!
(I feel I should point out the wind blew my hoody into the foot photo, my belly isn't that huge lol)

Our final day was spent in Norwich with a quick visit to Elm Hill (I love) and some rather amazing mexican food before our train home. Once again the wind wasn't on my side for a feet photo - the bottom part is my scarf blowing into the photo!

I'm picking up two rolls of film tonight, so hopefully I should have even more photos to share with you tomorrow, hurray! I can't wait!

It's September!

I don't know about you but I am excited about that!

1. It's my birthday month!
2. August Break is over... *
3. I've been busy planning exciting things over August and now its time to impliment them!

* I enjoyed August Break - but I'm a talker and boy have I missed 'talking' to you guys!

Sponsor Changes!

Some of you may have realised that the sidebar on the right is now titled 'Etsy love'... unfortuntely sponsoring did not take off for me. However I didn't start sponsors for the money... I started it to help advertise etsy shops - so I have taken it upon myself to add some of my favourite shops onto my sidebar free of charge (don't they look pretty) and every month I'm going to feature a favourite of mine in a post.

I am all about the etsy and blog love - so I hope you all are too!

First up is Alyssa's new shop It's Olive!

Some of you may know Alyssa from her blog 'Just putting it out there' or her amazing project 'Project You' (which incidently is having a rather Spectacular September with an amazing giveaway - you should check it out!)

You may not have known that Alyssa is one creative lady and her shop is a collection of her hard work over the past few months. I love her work (I'm particularly fond of bows) and I really think that you will too!

{click on each photo for the listing on etsy and to discover their fun names!}

I hope you enjoy this monthly feature as much as I do and please check out the shops in the sidebar - they are my favourites!

p.s. Do you have an etsy shop? If so, why not send me an email with your link AND a paragraph introducing yourself with an explanation of why I (and my readers) will love your shop... I might even decide to feature you if you're lucky!
