In the Pink





Flowers - Anna Emilia
Print and Embroidery* - Ana Botezatu

 I'm into pink. It's not usually my favourite colour at this time of year but I find it strangely inviting as the days grow shorter and the cold weather sets in. A bit of pink then to pep up your day and keep the winter blues at bay!

Anna Emilia

Did you know that Anna Emila has an online shop now?

It's only just opened and she'll be going on a short holiday on June 24th but if you enjoyed this and love her work as much as I do, bookmark her site for August and do take a peek at her blog, it really is gorgeous!

Bring Me the Spring!



Happy Monday Morning! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. After a week of non-stop rain and general gloom and doom we braved the elements yesterday and went for a bracing walk on the beach here. The sea was wild and so was the wind. It was a perfect day for Savannah to master the art of kite-flying, which she did admirably, and we ran and played and laughed as we struggled against a storm. It was fun!
Today, however, Savannah is running a temperature, and coughing and spluttering in bed. Back to square one. Miles was sick all last week and now it's ma princesse. Not fun!
So, I thought I'd cheer myself up with some pretty images and usher in the spring.

I've almost reached my 500th post milestone so I'm working on a few really special posts. I'll be organising a small giveaway to mark the occasion and hopefully my little shop will be opening around the same time. I've decided to spend some quality time with my family this week as Mr B will be on holiday for a few days. We have a couple of trips and activities planned if the weather holds up and the kids feel better, so I'm looking forward to that. I also need to finish ma petite boutique, spring clean my laptop (where did all these bookmarks come from???) , rearrange my blog a bit and maybe get some sleep!
Oh, I'm also considering accepting sponsorship applications once my shop is up and running.

Voilà, my latest news.
See you all later in the week!

Anna Emilia Laitinen


She loves drawing houses, be they big or small,


She loves trees, both inside and out



and all that she sees becomes pattern




"The weather gives the color to my paintings. When I paint I think of all the faraway places the wind reaches and hope to hear from them.
I enjoy finding connections between nature and the ones living in it, collecting them as memories on a soft cotton paper".


There is a rare sense of calm in the work of this Finnish graphic designer / illustrator. A peacefullness begot from her oneness with nature and an awareness and sensitivity to "colours, wind speed and sounds under (her) feet". I do hope you'll enjoy her paintings, drawings and Weather Diary as much as I did.
