So I've decided to start a little category of posts called 'The Little Joys' - in life I'm all about this.
The random mix match of simple things that add a little extra smile to your face.
So here are this weekend's & I hope it inspires you to think of your little joys too -
Striped Breton
It surprises me how well a striped breton top can fit right into your everyday wardrobe
& stay put through out the seasons.
For sure a staple!
It looks great with peachy pink lippy too (my favourite!)
Pukka Teas and Green & Blacks Thin Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt
The way to spend a rainy weekend afternoon is with these two bad boys.
Sainsbury's have a great stock of both brands & various flavours.
*Hint: Pukka Teas have medicinal properties, they don't just smell and taste good they do good.
I'm actually hoping these can be a replacement to my daily cappuccinos, so I can ditch the caffeine.
'Unashamed' by Christine Caine
Christine Caine together with her husband Nick, founded the well know anti-human trafficking organisation The A21 Campaign and founded the 'Propel Woman' organisation.
She is one 'dangerous' woman for the Kingdom & full of faith.
The tagline? "drop your baggage, pick up your freedom and fulfil your destiny" - phoar!
I'm only at the beginning of this book but I hope it really takes me somewhere, I need a good challenge!
I don't read often, so when I do read a book it's for a purpose... I'll let you know how I get on.

Hand Printed Cushion by Lucy Turner (screen printing artist)
I met Lucy Turner through my work at Studio Souk, she specialises in the art of screen printing.
Screen printing is often under-appreciated, but it is so amazing & one of the arts I admire the most - the level of work required is 'eye watering' to your average 'punter' but to Lucy it's her passion.
Bold colours excite her, going a bit extravagant and bizarre is her thing and not to mention she is a absolutely lovely & inspiring!
She gave me this cushion as a little token, but to me it meant a lot! - I had been eyeing it up since I started working with Studio Souk back in April. I just absolutely adored it, as it sat on her retro white bar stool at her work bench...
You know when you just fall in-love with something?
& no matter what you will never stop liking it
(I feel like I should be saying this about my husband!)
- but no, instead i'm saying it about a cushion (lol!).
It caught my eye immediately.
Don't worry I feel this way about my husband too...
;)
Unfortunately my apartment doesn't do it justice right now,
I haven't found the right spot for it yet and probably won't at all
- lets hope our next home will!

Thats everything for this week.
