My favourite colour

Aren't these lovely? Floral on dark background is always such a good combination especially with these vibrant clashing colours. They are made in South Africa by a woman called Fances White.

Community Radio Day

We love a bit of community radio in our house in fact it is pretty much all we listen to mostly RRR our local station which I may have mentioned a few times, but I aslo can't go past a bit of This American Life, who can though? Any how today is national Commit to Community Radio day as the government is backflipping on a promise to help these stations convert to digital format which could mean many radio stations are silenced. It wouldn't cost much to get them all started and you can click on this website to register if it is something you are interested in. Just this morning I was in the car listening to RRR and this some Shiver and Shake by Sweet Jean came on. What a ripper!

Wooden Fabric anyone?

I just saw this wonderful set of wooden clutch bags. Aren't they lovely?
They are part of  Tesler and Mendelovitch's research project into creating "wearable wood" transforming wood into textiles. Amazing
