Emu's Mini Pop Up Shop

For the next 4 days I have taken over Sarah Drew shop in St.Austell, Cornwall and set up a mini Emu's pop up shop. I am really nevus about doing this but I am also excited by this new experiences. 

After arriving early to set up my little array of goodies alongside Sarah's goodies and other designers that stock Sarah's shop, I started to relax and my flare for shop design  started to come to the surface's. 

Here are some pictures of my goodies around the shop. 

As I sit here and look around the shop the nevus have completely gone and I am enjoying every moment of it. If you are passing please pop in and have a chat.

I will be here from the 14th March till 17th March 10am till 3pm (Sarah Drew Market House, St.Austell)

Handmade Recycled Organisation Solutions

I have decided that although my house is tidy and everything has its place, I am the only one who seems to know were that place is or I think its a safe place but it's so safe it can never be found again. 

But I wanted to organize everything with out spending much money by being creative a recycling things we have around our house that can have its life extended so I went on the hunt for ideas on the internet and I came across some great ideas from some great blogs.

Here are the ones I fell in love with most.

Recycling Books

I was very excited two months a go when a book club started at my local village cafe as I use to read all the time before children were ever thought off. But since having children I never seem to have the time or I go to read a book and it either takes me a year or I fall asleep a few pages in. So I thought this book club would be great for me, as I would have to find the time to read the book and also I get to go out and meet up with some new interesting people once a month to discuss the book we have read.

Not only have I found the time to read each book in time to discuss it at the book club, it also   got my creative juices running wild from re-claimed use of my imagination. 

I have hundrands of books sat in old boxes in our loft that I enjoyed reading but then abanded them to the dust build up. So I put my creative imagination into over drive and started designing a mobile to hang over my book shelf in the studio.

I love the result of the mobile with its organic structure and its flow of falling pages. 

I have a great big THANK YOU for my local book club for giving me this new lease of life towards old books.

 I am now reading the third book that the club has set and the club has grown into a lovely group with different interesting people joining all the time and a large online following to.

 I would love to hear weather you attend a book club and what book you could recommend to mine to try out.
