Thursday Treats is my absolute favourite post to put together and as I write this a few days early (yes I love it that much) am sat here with two teeny kitties snoozing on my desk! Oh yes, the Williams’ have kitteeeeens! I am SO FRIGGIN’ excited. They are Maine Coons so are going to be ginormous but right now let’s enjoy the cute. Let me introduce, Rachel – I’m ever so beautiful but still a little shy – Williams and Henry – I like to explore everything & the other day I nearly climbed up the chimney – Williams

kittieeeens

Okey doke, on with the rest of this week’s goodness…and yes I think you’re right, Thursday Treats is getting longer and longer every week. I guess you can never have too much of a good thing!

♥ This week I was asked by 16 year old writer and blogger Rachel Phipps if I’d be interviewed for her website. Hell to the yes I would! Head over to her site, Waste my Life Pretending,  to read the full article. I particularly enjoyed answering the question ‘What’s in your bag right now?’ answer – ‘ a hell lot of crap it would seem!’

♥ UK artist Gemma Hadley of Apostle Art does fabulous mixed media work and offers a wide variety of commissions that can be adapted to create you something very personal. How about a piece of art depicting your favourite engagement or wedding image to hang on your wall? “I do my art based on wedding photos (ie I did one of a couple doing their first dance)” Gemma told me “or I can base it on a photo of their time before marriage. I can adapt wedding photos using acrylic, beeswax, paint or whatever the client might want. Much of my work is figurative and experimental, but when I do a commission I like to do paintings for couples, I love the fact it’s more of an ‘artifact’ – something that preserves the memory for life with daubs of acrylic and painterly energy. 
Yes, yes, yes I want one!

PS UK readers, don’t forget, the Designer Wedding Show kicks off in Battersea, London tomorrow from 10am. I’ll be hanging around soaking up all the prettiness (and taking photos with my friend David McNeil for a future blog post) tomorrow, so if you’re around, pop down, say hi and maybe even get yourself featured on Rock n Roll Bride.
