coffee with my cousin.

Today i went for a gingerbread latte at costa with my cousine (Holly) she had a hot chocolate, mine was very delicious and reminded me of christmas, like a gingerbread in liquid form basically, also shared some Tyrell crisps, i think there called that... however i am going to Barbados for christmas this year for 2 and abit weeks with my boyfriend, But i want to come back on Christmas eve, just so i have some seasonal fun. I wore my fat wooly cardigan from H&M today as in England it is FREEEZING at the mo, but yep i was heated like a hotdog, (veggie one) XX

Arty shit,

Charlotte mann, i adore her work, She is a british artist who works and lives in peckham  London. She studied fashion design at central saint martens college in London which is were im hoping to go, She is now a teacher there.

She is known for her wall drawing and installations, She uses black marker pen and a white background and draws everything to scale its amazing!

I love the way she adds everything into the drawing every detail is in there and its done so well,
how could you not like them!?
The bookcase is one of my favorites, i really want to buy the print but at 95pound it seems abit much, maybe not but i might just do my own, would that be wrong? No i dont think, i think im just using her as inspiration, Anyway i think they are wonderful.

another few classical books I loved when I was a sprig,

This one Is called Not now Bernard, by David Mckee, Its abit of a dark and depressing story about a young boy that discovers a monster in his garden, Try's to inform his parents but they are too pre-occupied in their own business to even give Bernard the slightest bit of their time. The monster eats Bernards dinner, smashes his toys and eventually eats Bernard! even when the monster is in Bernards bed all tucked up with a glass of milk the parents are still oblivious to Bernards 'changed' appearance. Allthough it seems very sad, its actually not as bad as it seems, there are funny bits for instance when Bernard trys to tell either his mum or dad they reply 'NOT NOW BERNARD' which is repeated throughout the whole story.
I guess the book has a message that parents can easily get caught up in their own daily chores and overlook the needs of their children. However i loved this book when i was young and don't know anybody that doesn't like it. so read if you haven't allready.

Alice in Wonderland, A classic English Novel by Lewes Carrol.

Everybody knows the story, but i'll give a brief anyway, basically a girl called Alice falls down a rabbit hole into a giant fantasy wonderland 'hence the title' which is populated by strange but amusing creatures and beings. its a very charming book and film' now, however I find these beautiful illustrations the most lovely'est things to look at. I wish I was Alice. Illustrations by John Tenniel 'featured in the original book in 1865'

Lovely.

I love these so much, The illustrations are so bold and lovely looking, Its a book by Anthony Browne called The Gorilla, He has A few other but this was allways my favorite because the girl reminds me of myself when i was a nibbler.
