bel far niente

bel far niente - Italian for - the beauty of doing nothing

Today I'm listening to: Ólafur Arnalds – Ljósið. It's really beautiful, have a listen and tell me what you think :)

This weekend was spent back with the family: all together again to celebrate my little, little sister's 18th birthday.

I had a lovely time. It was great that the whole family were back together again. Roll on Christmas hols I say!


The motley crew together at lunch.

As we were all together, I thought this would be the right time to ask my sisters if they would be my bridesmaids...
I'm asking four of my best friends: Alice (sister), Sarah (friend from birth), Phoebe (sister) and Becca (uni friend).
They are each unique and special in their own ways and I'm sure they'll all be lovely and supportive.

I decided it would be fun to make little packages for them to open. I enjoyed getting creative: I havn't had time to in a while and I was pleased with the outcome:






Ingredients: ribbons (a sneak peak at my first thoughts on a colour scheme - pink and green), feathers, diamante stickers and brown paper packaging, all surrounding mini note-pads for great ideas, and a wallet for any images/ideas/inspiration they collect! "Will you be my bridesmaid?" notes were written on 'juicy Lucy' cards (http://www.juicylucydesigns.com/) which are so girly and I love!

Even more than enjoying the creativity, I enjoyed asking the girls (luckily Sarah was back in Kent this weekend so I could ask her..Popping to Salisbury to ask Becca next week - desperate to do it in person rather than by post!)
Alice, Phoebe and Sarah have said yes, so I thank you girls and send all my love :)

Happy Tuesday to you xox
