"facing unafraid the plans that we made"

Christmas isn't even officially over yet and I'm starting to get post holidays blues! I have lots of Christmasy things to blog about inbetween revising for my January exams (cry) including some baking and a "what I got" post. (I always love reading these as it gives me lots of good ideas of what to get other people)

For now though I'm reminiscing over Christmas, and planning for the new year, including some street style photography adventures. Although I really should be cracking out the physics and maths books (why oh why did I take such silly and difficult subjects?)

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

Snowballs and glitter

I was so excited when I was asked to help create the Christmas window display for a local shop. The shop sells both flowers (not the tacky type, but lust-worthy roses and berry's and other autumnal and Christmasy flowers)  and also a wide selection of interior accessories, both vintage and new. The seasonal window displays are always amazing and I was really looking forward to getting my hands on some of their cute decs. Here are just a few shots, although I under estimated the difficulty of getting good pictures through a shop window!

After being invited to do the window display I was then invited back the next week for their Christmas party with snowballs and home-made cookies.

LoveLeighRoad Day

I work in a small café that is located on a sort of "mini high street". All of the shops around us are independent, and it's a really lovely community with vintage clothes shops, antique shops, art gallery and the usual green grocers, florist etc.

Over the last few years the street has had less and less customers coming to pay us all a visit. We decided that we should re-brand the street into one big shopping community.  Our launch of this was on the 1st of December where we had a big promotional day. There where loads of activities, games, tastings and discounts, and later on a live jazz performance.

It has been such a fun experience, especially working closely with the branding and marketing company that are helping us. We have had such a great response from it, and I thought I’d share a few pictures from the day with you.
