ideas: photography - little people project

I came across these photographs/installations a few months ago and totally forgot to share - i think they are amazing! Slinkachu sets up these little miniture people in everyday places, photographs them and leaves them as a street art installation, they really make you stop and take in your surroundings in more detail then you ever normally would! they are just so creative and make me smile :)

ideas: d.i.y paper table runner

i came across ohhappyday the other day, and i just thought it had some really great creative, original ideas. this one in particular stood out and thought i just had to share. sometimes you get so used to the same dinner party set up, and i thought this was perfect when you wanted a bit of a shake-up in your routine without having to go out and spend lots of money, and this idea just makes it a little bit more personal :) 

full details on how to create these unique table runners can be found here. i think they just look so clean and lovely with white plates and greenery :) x 

Jounen Kwéyòl

jounen kwéyòl (creole day), is a national holiday in st lucia - and is probably one of the most colourful days there are. the holiday aims to celebrate everything about st lucian creole culture, different towns put on festivals and street parties cooking up gorgeous local dishes such as green fig and saltfish, bakes, accra, bouillion and plenty of fresh golden apple juice and cocoa tea. everyone dresses up in national dress, including the most vibrant and beautiful madras. i love how st lucians embrace their culture and heritage and celebrate it in the best way possible, getting together with family and friends, cooking yummy food and having a bit of a party!
