My only home...







I discovered these cards at one of my favourite (and little known) stores, Space, in Exmouth Market, earlier this year - I bought two not to send, but simply to keep because they are so gorgeous. I'd been hunting around for ages, trying to find more. 

My favourite reads: "My home will have no windows, doors or floors, nor bricks or mortar, my only home is in your arms and nowhere else". The "Can we, shall we" is also adorable.

I was confused and thought they were Roger La Borde cards originally - mistakenly - but thanks to Whole Lotta Lovely, I've finally figured out who they are actually by. 

And now I can't stop flicking through Rob Ryan's site; he's on Etsy too and you can order them on Purple Greetings too.

Enjoy the poetry in craft on the weekend xx

Done that myself too – ended up just buying Rob Ryan cards for no real reason than just to own them! I always think when you see things that are that pretty for that little money – it's worth the purchase ;)

I just spent the evening framing the first and second cards in the pictures. Picked up two different black frames in an antique store, both different but complimentary, and a couple of mounts. They look great because the black of the frames and the mint green of the card background sort of puts them together as a series. I'd recommend framing cards almost as much as framing tea-towels!

louis vuitton wallet is designed around the hobo slouch look. Because the leather is so soft, it doesn't hold a precise shape. Instead louis vuitton wallets is gathered under the brass riveting at the four handle points. It then hangs down in a soft curve. The gathering look is mirrored on the sides of louis vuitton mens wallet . The Mahina is actually adjustable.
