Neil Armstrong


Just heard that Neil Armstrong has died at the age of 82, following heart surgery and although I never knew him I felt a little sad. Being the first man on the Moon is quite a title...

Of course I have never thought I would actually go to the moon but I have always dreamt that one day I would win a golden ticket for a luna expedition.

Since the begining of time people have looked at the moon and dreamt of standing on its surface.....So here's to Neil the first man to make the dream a reality...

Vinyl collection
The Crosley record player and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours on Vinyl
Sheep skin and Vinyl

I don't know if it is the feeling of nostalgia, the smell of the old worn cardboard sleeves, or the crackle at the beginning of the record that I love the most but, one thing for sure I love vinyl! Pressing play on my ipod doesn't quite have the same thrill- (although shamefully I wouldn't be without my ipod now)

About 4 years ago we inherited my parents massive collection of vinyl, everything from Abba to Frank Zappa was in there, such a luxury, and like books it looks really nice on my shelves. Although Dan has some decks I am currently cooing over a Crosley portable record player for my babies.....

Perfect for a small garden, a windowsill or a tiny corner, got to love those Potted plants!

My new home has a pretty small garden with a tiny amount of grass so I have decided to go the potted plant root for my jungle garden theme. I have just brought myself a Casteroil plant for my garden and I am so in love with him. I have wanted one for so long. Next a Rhus...

.... Got this song on repeat...

iCanvasART Winner

My iCanvasART choice, Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist Composition No.56
One thing I really love about blogging is that every now and again I get companies offer me products to review, more often than not they are items I wouldn't choose, so I decline but when iCanvasART offered me the choice to review one of their prints and have one as a give away for you guys I couldn't resist.

It took 3 days of umming and ahhing but we finally choose Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist Composition No.56, which is one of my favourite paintings. I can honestly say I am so pleased with it, it is really good quality and looks so good on my wall. Coming from the USA to the UK i was a little worried it would get damaged but it arrived in perfect condition.

Having rented for years and just moved into our own home it is such a luxury to put up a painting.


So to the winner.....

Thank you all for your entries, as I have said before it is so interesting to see the choices people make and the reasons why..

So congratulations to Jesi Langdale-Anderson from Something Other blog who choose Dr Gachet by Van Gogh....

For those of you who didnt win iCanvasART has a 20% sale this week

Rug on Wall: From Forty-Sixth at Grace, photo by Michael Graydon

It has been so interesting over the last week to see the artwork that people are choosing on this months artwork give away.

Personally, I love Abstract art, cut outs and Collage and have just hung up my copy's of Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist composition no.5 and Beth Hoekels 'Moonrise' and they have made so much difference to my little home.

Although all those images above are great I love the bottom one as my parents used to have a rug very similar, sadly the dogs managed to savage ours...

What about you guys? What do you go for in your homes?
