Anthropologie envy

I was in London earlier this month, enjoying the lights of Oxford Street and braving the tube alone and whilst on my little trip I 'happened' to wander into Anthropologie in Selfridges. Well, I may have made a bee line for it in fact. There is such loveliness to be had and I must share a couple of my wants with you, not that I except to get any in my stocking this Christmas! No matter how many post it notes I stick to the OH's laptop/shaving mirror/shoes!

First on my list are these arctic bear measuring cups! Well, there's an excuse to bake everyday if ever I saw one!


Second is this Lou Rota plate, nearly nice enough to not cover with cake. Nearly...

Hopping good cupcakes

Or buns..or slices of cake. Coming this weekend to www.BohemianSunday.co.uk are these rather nice Hare cupcake toppers, show your love for the forest friend on my Facebook  https://m.facebook.com/pages/Bohemian-Sunday/406103722823726?id=406103722823726&_rdr

I would love to hear what you think!

Christmas Wonderland

I have been really rather busy this month, not only am I renovating the house and keeping up with my online orders I am also now being stocked in Birds Yard in Sheffield http://www.birdsyardsheffield.co.uk/

Its a rather exciting time and with Christmas coming up I have been feeling that little bit of magic in the air! I have introduced a new product which is only available at Birds Yard at the moment, just a little something to make you party nibbles magical!

Vintage map gift tag kit!

I realise that I have neglected my blog this month, I really could do with a time pausing device. There are just not enough hours in the day! Fortunately I did have enough time to source a map book which was published in the 1960's. I have been using the maps to make the envelopes for my new range of gift tag kits. The kit comes with the envelopes, par avion style gift tags and twine to keep the envelope closed. I really love this kit, and I love developing a product and actually finishing it!! It takes so long to develop a product that I rarely have time for anything else! I hope you like it as much as I do! It's my new favourite! X

An addition to the forest family!

Introducing the fox gift tag! I think him very handsome indeed!

Special delivery!

Today I have been packaging deliveries and one special parcel for mum!

Polkadot wrap for the jewellery frames! I do love !

Put it in a letter

Or in a letter style gift tag! Here are some of the designs I'm working on as part of a travel inspired collection.

I'm trying to develop something where the (fake) stamps and gift tags can be mixed and matched to create something more personal. 

New stock!!

This is a sign of things to come, let me tell you! I have more label designs, clay jar labels and gift tags coming up I the store soon. I have pretty much stuck these 'With Love' labels on everything in the kitchen! I hope you like them!

 

 

Feeling grey.

I am finally getting close the being able to paint the walls of the dining room after all the necessary work has been done. Unfortunately that has meant new electrics and floor joists! But once the work is done at least it shouldn't need to be done again in a long time now. Grey is the theme of the dining room, it is in here that I have the duck egg blue dresser and the Paris grey table. I am very inspired by the following images which were found on http://www.planete-deco.fr/2012/10/11/un-appartement-a-brooklyn-so-french-style/. I love the contrast of white and grey with the feminine touch of powder pink!

New Website

I finally have the website up and running and I am growing the range of products available thanks to the wonderful support and feedback from my friends. Don't forget to bookmark the website!

Christmas preview!

Ok. I know it's not even October yet, but the days fly by and before you know it it's December! With that in mind, I introduce the new hand stencilled hessian Santa gift sack. I can't say this really will be delivered to you by reindeer, but it will bring a little Christmas magic to your home all the same! They will be personalised with the name of who is lucky enough to receive them and will be added to www.bohemiansunday.co.uk very soon!

Weekend cake

Life is too short to not enjoy a slice of home made cake at the weekend. This recipe is full of lovely fruit which is a bonus if you really don't want to be too naughty! You will find the recipe here: http://www.celtnet.org.uk/recipes/

Oui Oui!

I was spending my Saturday morning perusing blogs as I like to do for inspiration and enjoyment when I came across Sweet Tea and Pumps blog- http://sweetteaandpumps.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/paris-market.html
where she shared pictures of a shop she loves called Paris Market. I am in love! I would die to own that shop, well, perhaps not die but I am trying to be passionately French about it! If one day I own a shop it will look something similar to this.

Inspired by Emily Henderson

I have taken the following images from http://stylebyemilyhenderson.com/ as I love the use of cool fresh colours that are married with luxe gold tones. Although the style is pretty it is still grown up. I just wish I had more rooms to decorate as I am so inspired by what Emily Henderson has done here. I suggest you visit her website right now for more goodies for the eyes!

How do I top that?!

I have been making toppers! Food toppers, cake toppers, cupcake toppers.....Here are a couple for your (hopefully) enjoyment. I can wait for a soiree to show them off!

Clay day

Christmas. There I said it. I admit it I'm thinking about Christmas!! I have been making clay tags and Christmas decorations in readiness for my first Christmas in the new house and I now supply these via my website too! http://bohemiansunday.moonfruit.com/

Happy Bunting!

Here is some personalised bunting I created today! I was lucky enough to enjoy a day out in Birmingham on Saturday and stocked up on some new stamps and washi tape from Selfridges which inspired me to create! Unfortunately I couldn't take home the £35,000 85inch TV that I so loved but here's hoping for a lottery win! I ate at Jamie Oliver's restaurant Jamie's Italian which was a lovely treat. I recommend the pork chop if you ever get to visit! Anyway...enough about me, here's the bunting!

Clay creatives

I have been busying my little hands with clay this week. This is a gift tag with a view of the front and back.  I would love to receive a gift with a tag that doubles as a keepsake so I hope my family and friends do too! This present really did go to grandma and she did appreciate it!

New frames!

I managed to complete two new frames today which I'm very pleased with! I was inspired by the Buddleja in my garden which is surrounded by butterflies at the moment and so pretty! And I had to do a Union Jack In honour of new baby Prince George! They can be bought here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171095158147?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Read my decoration!

I've recently started making paper flower decorations, so far using the same technique as the Pom Poms. Ill definitely be using these as present toppers at Christmas!

Annie sloan in the house

This year was a big year for me and the oh because we bought our first house! The house dates back to 1870 and although there isn't anything major to do to the house there are certain things that will cost money that we have planned. So, in order to save money I decided to up cycle some of our furniture using annie sloan chalk paint. I LOVE this paint! You don't have to sand or prime your item even on varnished surfaces. This is a dresser that I bought for £60 on eBay. 

Before 

After

The table is also painted in annie sloan Paris grey but I lost my before photos. The table was waxed with the annie sloan wax but I found it difficult to get an even result which would be fine for some projects but not what I wanted for these pieces. So with the dresser I varnished it with a clear matt varnish and I think it works really well.
