Goals.

After reading Elsie's post from A Beautiful Mess last week, it played on my brain. I have never really been one for goals, my life has always been fairly spontaneous, day to day, living as things happen. I felt like setting myself some realistic goals would probably do myself some good. It took me a while to write this post out but here they are!

1. Sometimes being a Mum, setting up a business and keeping a house running can be slightly overwhelming. I find myself getting stuck into a ruck of sitting in my house all day. Even if I walk around the field's for 15 minutes, it will do me, my daughter and the dog (now he's old enough to go for walks!) the world of good. I find myself getting low due to the fact I live in a small village with no driving, yet there are some beautiful walk's around here. It will give me that extra excercise as well as do wonders for my mind. 2. My business will be up by the end of the year! It has to be, it's a small pressure but I feel that I need that pressure. Since 2012, I have learned so much about myself, what I am capable of and I know that I can do it. 3. As most relationship's that 'spark' can die out, and I really don't want it to! Just a little affection can do a relationship the world of wonders. I want to be the old couple you see still holding hands and kissing. 4. I love to make things, I always have. Even if it's a little embroidery, I want to teach creativity to my daughter. Its the most satifying thing I know! I used to draw everyday, make jewelry and  I loved it. I need to bring it back.

Favourite season

 Its no lie to say that Autumn is my favourite season, and already there's a clear crisp feeling in the air. I love Summer, but there's something quite satisfying about layering up with thick scarve's and those lovely wooly jumpers. To match the tree's, i'm loving rusty red's and browns, gorgeous green's and deep oranges. I'm dreaming of kitch patterned tights, russian hats and those perfect pair of boots.

Sweet Chivalry has been on to some dreamy vintage pieces lately, I can't even put into words how excited I am to open the shop! It won't be far from now, Christmas time hopefully! Soon I will be able to post an opening date, we can have a little online opening Christmas tea party. I just need to promote promote promote!

Expect

The progress and news of Sweet Chivalry.

The latest codes and discounts will be posted in our newsletters!

I will post the daily do-ings of setting up a business.

Sweet Chivalry dreams of pink, glitter, sweets, stars, cooking, glamour, luck, chance, flowers, Marie Antoinette, birds, ribbons, ideas, home, passion, lovely people, difference, gardens, chiffon, lace, snow, children, mermaids, kisses, ruffles and the sea.

I have already made a vow to myself that Sweet Chivalry will have real images, real 'photoshoots'.

The images will be taken of people like your best friend's sister, your Mother, women that are something to look up to. Who are happy to be who they are. I want photographs of people enjoying themselves, none of this over posey-ness! Smiles, laughter and a little playfulness.

I think everybody needs a little of that sometimes.

I look forward to you joining me in my journey.

I havent been able to blog for a while as im so busy creating the website for Sweet Chivalry, its going very well.

Heres a quick screen shot. The photo is a sample of a slideshow that will have new products, updates and more.

A busy life.

Since my last post I have been so busy! It was my birthday on Wednesday, which was spend attending mine and Freya's first toddler group (quite terrifying honestly), getting upset about the loss of a vintage shop and buying fancy chocolates in Barton mill. Thursday my wonderful Dad came to see me as he wasnt able to on my birthday and suprised me with the greatest present i've ever received, a new telescope! It's no lie I am a HUGE enthusiast towards astronomy and now I have the chance to persue it further. Saturday was spent with Lee's family at kids world, where Freya had the best time and yesterday was dinner with my Dad and his lady. We went to Frankie and Bennies. The gingerbread latte truely is the yummiest thing i've ever had, I have to find out the recipe.

Before dinner, as I was lucky enough to have birthday vouchers for Hobbycraft, we had a look around. There was nothing in particular I was looking for, until I walked past the book aisle. And a book caught my eye, it was Emily Martins Paper Doll Primer! Emily Martin is one of my favourite artists, a couple of her paintings take pride position in my house so least to say I was excited when I saw it so much so I think I was given a few strange glances at my reaction when I picked it up. It's definitely the best thing I've brought myself in a very long time. Me and Freya read through the already made dolls and their stories. As soon as I could I was already creating my own paper doll version of us. I'm so happy with how they've turned out! They look just like us. All I have to do is find some pretty paper to mount them on and add name banners and they'll be up on my wall. I'd forgotten how wonderful paper dolls are and I think it may be a new hobby for me.

I also have this lovely coming in the post for me. I cant wait.

Vanessa Carlton - Carousel

I've always been a great lover of Vanessa Carlton, her music always seems to appear to me when I most need it. Her new album is magical.

 

Today is cloudy, slow, housework and cuddles.
