Helen Gordon

Helen Gordon is a designer and a mother of three who started her own company after being frustrated of only a limited range of patterns available in kids bedding. With her background in textile designing she soon had several collections: "original hand painted images which draw on traditional fairytales, a nostalgia for the simplicity of the arts and crafts, and images which are inspired by the natural world." I love such stories when people don't give up because of frustration but inspire and do wonders! Her creation includes cushions, wallpapers, stationery, totes and aprons with lovely illustrations.

{The Love Shop}

Let's start this new month together with these inspiring words to "Never ever give up! Believe" by The Love Shop. Sweet product, sweet name!

~Big and Chunky~

If you have been reading the blog then you already know that I am one of those people who wouldn't be caught dead with jewelry on. But today, I am loving this big and chunky owl necklace made of gold coins. I know it's a leap, but I guess I am ready for it!
