I'm engaged!!!!

My gorgeous boyfriend proposed to me on our recent trip to the Dingle Penninsula in south west Ireland and of course i said yes. We were sitting out on some cliff tops in the sunshine during a break from our bike ride when he popped the question :) i'm so excited!! i went wedding dress shopping with my mum and two of my sisters yesterday and found my absolute dream dress, it is so gorgeous, i wish i could post a photo here but you'll have to wait over a year until after the wedding, sorry.

However one photo that i can show you is the style of wedding cake i want (ignore the colours). I think it looks quite scrapbooky and definately has that cool twist that we want!

I've been away for a couple of weeks so haven't been in the scraparium for ages (i'm getting withdrawal symptoms) but i'll be back into the swing of regular layouts and posts soon :)

Guest blogger: from Nancy & Betty

Why hello there. I'm (Hannah) Abby's sister and from Nancy & Betty - we design and make stationery with influences from around England, vintage finds and the simple and the quirky from the everyday. We are rather find of Polaroid cameras, typewriters, retro dial phones and Noddy to name a few. Other things that tickle our fancy is the British seaside.

Above is a selection of our collection to give you a tease - to shop online and see lots more information about us visit http://www.nancyandbetty.com/ In case you were wondering, the name comes from my/Abby's grandma, Nancy and her twin sister, Betty.

Other things that we like the look of are; Frank (A place for British alternative applied arts and contemporary craft) - it's down the road to us in Whitstable, so if you are in the area, go and visit. We also like the look of is Treacle in London - selling homemade cupcakes and other edible delights. Lastly, a blog that makes us want to have flowers everyday (and who wouldn't?!) is Miss Pickering. I have so many blogs and places I would love to show you, it definitely needs another post though, hint hint.

Also, Abby has some very exciting news which involves plenty of stationery (hooray!) and lots of flowers.

Thanks for having me Abby, I had a ball. xx
