Old Town Inspiration - Vintage Treats!

 

I ventured into Hastings Old Town today with Danny and my older sister, The Style PA, to peruse Hastings Old Town for vintage inspiration. We also went to view a potential wedding venue (but that's a story for another blog post. Needless to say it was mightily exciting!). These lovely scrabble rings were courtesy of Little Treasures, one of my favourite shops in the old town.

I love old apothecary cabinets! Each drawer should hold something different and mysterious...

 

The Imaginarium in the Old Town junk yard... I think if I visited the junk yard every weekend for a year, I would never struggle to find new and interesting things each and every time!

 Very tempted by some lovely old maps...

 

 

Pretty things!

I love the idea of using old suitcases for storage and decor.

Wedding Ideas: Scrabble or Lego?

 

I am a massive fan of Scrabble! My favourite necklace is a scrabble "geek" necklace, and I would love to bring a little bit of Scrabble into the wedding celebrations somehow. I really like some of the ideas above.

 Danny is a massive Lego enthusiast and has kept every brick of his (precious) Lego since he was a child. So it would only be right to have Lego versions of us on top of our cake! Though, of course, I'd have to customise the Lego wedding dress so that it was polka dot!

 

There are some really lovely Lego themed wedding cakes out there too...

 

I Just Love Scrabble!

I Love Scrabble... Me and my sisters without fail, every Christmas, sit down to some epic games of Scrabble. The world seems to share my love for geeky game and has incorporated it into all kinds of lovely things! Like my wonderful "Geek" Scrabble necklace courtesy of Miss Holly's Boutique over at Rokit Vintage... I also really want the Scrabble sofas and the Garden Scrabble!

"Geek" Scrabble Necklace

I'm back home for Easter and I took a welcome break from essay writing and job application forms to pop out and have a nice meal with the parentals in Porters - a lovely little place in Hastings Old Town. I had jerk chicken, chips and salad, and my mum had the most delicious greek style cottage pie with aubergine and feta mash. Yum!

I absolutely LOVE my new necklace courtesy of Rokit Vintage and the talented Miss Holly's Boutique! It combines my love of scrabble (You can't beat a good game of scrabble on a Sunday afternoon... or any aftrnoon for that matter!) and all things geeky...

You could get some serious points with the word "geek" on a triple word score!

I spotted this fuscia plant in my parent's front garden, all of the flowers were heart-shaped! How lovely!
