It's a new day.

As you can all see Papered Thoughts has had a little face lift! I am very happy with how everything has turned out - Almost all the graphics were created with paper by me & then scanned & edited. A big big big thankyou to the wonderful Katrina over at pugly pixel - powered by pastries.. I could not of created anything like this without her amazing website & tutorials. If you need some fantastic graphics or pretty tutorials you'll find her super helpful!





         

 

So what do you think of the new layout ++ Pages? - anything that doesn't work for you? Anything you think should be added - I would love any & all feedback!

With little help from my friends..

This is a desperate plea to all those bookworms, literary lovers && "feet in the sky - nose in a book" type girls (&&boys) <3 As an avid reader I am always on the look out for book lists/suggestions (something I often talk with my penpals about) But after reading four amazing books in a row I feel I may have stumbled into a little bit of a dry spell!! 1 week with no new book in sight! *gasp*

So here is what I ask - via comment, email, snail mail or carrier pigeon please send me a list (long or short!) of books you would recommend.. I don't like trying to fit my tastes into a genre - so below are two lists - books I've recently read and loved & all time favorites. A lot of love to anyone who replies & saves me from my literary slump :) - peace && love

An Adventure to Newcastle

Oh what a Wonderful Day! - Mummabear, Baby Sister & I Adventured about 2 &1/2 hours north of home to the beautiful Newcastle.. The Main reason was I had been dying to go to the amazing Olive Tree Markets - Which was just as fantastic as I thought it'd be! Then a stroll down Darby street & an amazing lunch (seriously) at Zinc on Darby. If you ever find yourself in the beautiful seaside town here are a few shops I highly recomend - Blackbird Corner // Cooks Hill Books // Honey Bee // Antiques and Collectables on Darby // ++ So Many great Cafes...








I Have never seen one of my garlands "In Action" so it was super cool to bump into the lovely Trish Stenzel of Wanderlust by Miss Fancypants - Her clothes are fantastic, I adore the skirts <3



Salted Caramel Macaroons <3
