I Found a few quirky things that I would like to have one day. It includes this apple memo pad from Design Museum which is so adorable you can even get a pear. The other vintage bits are all from Svpply which is an amazing online store to shop at.

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my Illustrations :) It's rather daring sometimes to release your own art into the world. Today

I had some time to wash my car, and plant my new lettuces into my veggie garden! Hopefully the slugs won't get them! Is it true that if you throw egg shells around your plants that slugs won't eat it lol?
