bobbles, birthdays,bangles & beads...

                I love unusual trinkets... it looks like a cigar box when infact...

                                 
TAA DAA... its bursting with trinkets such as perfumes, bows, tickets, lovenotes,ribbons


It was my lovely friend steph's birthday, Like me she's addicted to shopping, fashion and drawn to the elegance of 50's movie stars. So she demanded a homemade card for her birthday I spent hours ripping up magazines and cutting up polaroids...add a bow and VOILA! I also mixed her up a cd with the cheesy rubbish she loves (wham!wake me up before you go go! - her favourite, she once sang it to a date, I dont think he was impressed teehee) along with breezy tones of passion pit and bombay bicycle club. Heres the card I made her: I hate my handwriting here!

thank you a great bunch for stopping by my blog!

I haven't heard of two door cinema club yet but I will start listening to them. Thank you for the suggestion! I want to visit the UK so badly. It looks so beautiful!

This summer I've been broken hearted by a boy but that was not my aim for my bucket list. I want to experience broken hearted by being overwhelmed of seeing poverty, killing of animals etc. I've experience the typical broken hearted by a boyfriend many times at once this summer and my recovery was slow and painful. We broke up the beginning of July. :(

hope to hear from you soon
love, abigail
