Birdie Birthday!

Tomorrow is my birthday friends and I am wishing for a birdie birthday. I saw this over the weekend and fell in love: it is utter cuteness, sweetness, loveliness, gorgeousness rolled into one. How can any lampshade beat the home of these little birdies? The price tag did cause me to faint a little (at Lane Crawford) but then a little tap and tap found one available in the Conran Shop for less... and they have a 15% off till the end of May (voucher code: LIVING15). Here ends my birdie birthday dream... till tomorrow my friends when Wue will be another year older (and wiser we hope)! xoxo

Spring Clean: Back for Good!

Hello peoples! 2010 has been a tough start for us but we got there. And now we are officially back, with a little bit of sunshine hopefully. And I hear you asking what has Wue been up to? Now we must tell you about our HUGE spring clean that lasted a good week!! But the de-cluttering is definitely the best therapy for stress. We are feeling rejuvenated and ready to conquer the world again. Although après la spring clean, it always makes one pine for beautiful new furniture and homely things. Maybe because of the new found teeny bit of space... or is it just me? But first I must save up... for a long time for some of these wonderful gorgeousness but speaking of gorgeousness, this spring cleaning business has set our creative juices going again so watch this space for some new, pretty projects from Wue... not too long now (I hope)!

P.S.
1+3= maison du monde { i heart those drawers... and that armchair ~ the queen herself would approve! }
2= wue { foodie's london, fashionista's london, boy's london, my london, olympic london: a proud little project! }
4+5= anthropologie { i heart this shop so much that: i don't need a shower curtain but I don't care. }
6= graham and green { yes, i love little spaces to put things in order... }

I'm sorry...

Dear Blog,

I am sorry for neglecting you but I have been so busy, which can only mean a lot of material and great things to blog... very soon! Right now though, I must get back to more packing and pricing before the NCT event tonight where Sue & I will have a stall!! How exciting...

Oh and the loveliest wooden letters {so easy to put up, no nails involved!} arrived in the post today so the Wue office is finally getting a touch of magic... still a few more bits to make it a truly inspiring little space!

I promise I will be back soon, with all that has been going on...

xoxo

Goodbye Eggs...

This weekend I bid a fond farewell to the Easter Egg decorations I made for my little party. Although the insides were taken care of, I didn't think they would last till next Easter. Besides, I probably will want something different then. So bye bye my lacey eggs... you have been great! Speaking of being great, I was so happy that Jenson did well in the rain. I mean I was hoping he would come first and make it a hat trick but then making it to the podium 3 times in a row is still an amazing achievement when it's the first time the cars were tested in the rain! And Sebastian Vettel deserved to win... great speed + control and I hope you didn't miss his cheeky comment when he was asked about naming his car - he declined to comment on the actual name, citing David Coulthard’s infamous womanising ways as a joking reason to shield the named Red Bull from gossip columns!! {jez. I am addicted to F1. I got up at 7am on a Sunday to watch. Despite falling asleep on the sofa during the race. I couldn't help it.}

i heart: weekend on the sofa

I have to say sitting on a sofa and reading a book is very high up on my list of favourite things to do on a weekend. Unfortunately I was a bit too quick the past few evenings and have finished my book (which you guessed it - was meant to be for the weekend!). So I am dreaming about this cushion on my sofa with no book - isn't it so classic retro and clever even though it is a little too pricey for me, for a cushion! Nevertheless I can look at it and imagine it's there...

Now the book: Wedding Season by Katie Fforde was just what I needed. It was an easy read but full of wonderful girly emotion and characters. What's more it's a little insight into the life of a wedding planner, aka my dream- anyone out there who needs one, call me!
