The sound of summer
Warm sand between your toes
The sound of a tattoo machine
Inspiration boards
That moment when you spot the first daffodil of the year
My craft box
Singing in the car
The sound of vinyl
Happy tears
The smell of melted chocolate
Duvet days
Skipping hand-in-hand in public
Love that never stops growing
A response to ‘Happiness is…’ by wonderful blog bReathe happiNess.
Another super cute pressie from Martin ♥
‘A pop-up trip around the world!’ Cuteness!
I picked up this tantalising little gem in a quirky American book shop whist on holiday quite a few years ago.
It is nestled in a pile of books on a little side table in our lounge, but demands attention with it’s barbie pink silk spine and the words HOORAH FOR THE BRA by Cheree Berry!
It has an actual bra strap fastening! Clever little touches like this make me very happy!
The wheels go round as you turn the page!
This story means a great deal to me. It was a story I read to my baby sister at bedtime again and again.
A year or so ago, I spotted this pop-up edition in our local bookshop and Martin bought it for me as a lovely little pressie!
I loved using ink and watercolour at college. I actually see the artist’s hand creating these illustrations in my mind as I turn each page.
I can’t think of a more flowery term for ‘paper engineer’, so lets just call her Corina! It would be so easy to overwhelm the soft illustration – Corina brings this story to life so skilfully and sympathetically.
Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney, Illustrated by Anita Jeram and engineered by Corina Fletcher
