Kinfolk Magazine

Fabulous photography  from Kinfolk Magazine.

Have you noticed the ever increasing trend for on-line magazines? They are popping up left  right and centre, and the latest to hit the zineasphere is Kinfolk, created by a group of people who like to do nothing more then gather together with family and friends  around a table set for a simple meal and enjoy the simple pleasures in life like great food, the out doors, or creating a simple feast of bread and cheese around an art party in the out doors. Sounds lovely, do you like to table-scape and gather?

The weekend project.

Hello how is your weekend going, fine I hope, I'm a little under the weather with a summer cold, so this weekend I've been taking it easy on the sofa in between small burst of energy to do a little weekend project and practice my camera skills, oh and my photography results are in.....drum roll please.....I got a B grade!  

As a treat to myself I bought a new scarf in anticipation of the Autumn which will be with us all too soon.   

Photography Me! Samantha Stansbridge,  Scarf

Scarves are one of my favourite accessories in my wardrobe, and I'm sure this stripy one is going to be my new best friend this Autumn, its in a lovely drapy  jersey material and very wide which makes it perfect as a shawl too, and takes an out fit from simple to chic.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

The weekend project, little black lamp.

Welcome to another weekend project.  I bought this little lamp in the sales last week from  B&Q, but once home,  thought that it needed a little something extra, and while  checking out sequins and beads on Ebay, came across some lovely black shell discs and decided to buy them to add to the edge of the lamp shade.  I also picked up some little black beads in town today to go with them.  Simply sew on using a curved needle (I found a curved one better, to fit around the frame of the lamp) push the needle  round the bottom of the shade and through the fabric,  thread the bead on, then the shell, then back through the bead and up into the shade, tie a not and that it! 

Display idea for your budding Picasso's

Ikea Facebook

If you have your little ones home a the moment on the school holidays chances are that the kitchen table has been turned into a creative area in a bid to keep them entertained, and while checking out the IKEA Facebook page, thought that these makes for a great way to display all those little master pieces once the front of the fridge is filled up.  Any budding picasso's out there?

...and keep the holiday spirit going by adding items and post cards from your summer travels to an Ikea curtain wire or string.

A colourful Autumn with Rice.

Although I'm busy creating a black and white theme in my living room, I am actually rather drawn to bright colours too, so I'm loving a dose of colour in the new Autumn/winter  catalogue from Rice, which is soon to be available in October.
