The Key on Holy Mountain...

 

We went to the woods still with the body and mind we had the night before...

Alex wore my latest Flutterbydaisy SweetHeart Dress

That now lives far away in Italy :)

I made a necklace too ... from pressed flowers and resin and lace

a Victorian Mourning Locket...

... Find them in my *shop* ... they have names and are called 

Secret Garden necklaces...

I found all the flowers myself... 

and kept them

pressed them

in a big book

I feel like Im in there too sometimes...

After our walk and dance in the woods Alex took me to her Tattoo shop Holy Mountain it's in Scunthorpe and is pretty inside with art... 

... she drew all over me and now I'm new...

...with a circle for entirety and complete and the female, initials of those who got to my ind before you could marry me, a sewn needle going through, and some collar bone dots because we felt like it...

Here are some more flowers for you from the land of Etsy...

Tales From the Treehouse

I gave her my key, I guess it means more to her than me... I shouldn't have gone or came or stayed there was nothing left there for me just heavy heart and nothing ... though I wish it was nothing but there's so much - so much nothing it's hard to ignore... it's all over.  I wish I could be like the other, one day, no feelings to feel anymore, because feelings hurt... not enough smiles to equal out and fade out and make you happy, not for me because of the wish I made in the circle when I was small.  It all comes back on you three times, even with the wishes were dreamed with good intention ... mother earth can be cruel.

So I shall just sit and sew and give you all the smiles inside I have left, until they are no more.

Nevermore he said and he is one of them.

Dolls in Houses, with Esther Dee and a Duck...

A Pretty house: half fallen, half restored - magic bits and bobs in all its nooks and crannies... this is where we went: me and my fluttery team (make-up: Luna Viola, assistant stylist: Sylvia Mann) to take dolls house photos of Esther Dee in Flutterbydaisy frills

find new dresses *here* tomorrow : find more photos from this shoot *here*

Esther Dee and the Carousel at The Comedy, London, 13th April

... here we finished cocktails, bopped around, caught up, rocked out and jolly well had a good night...

* Photos: Barnaby Cooper / Hannah Daisy *

...She didn't realise she had a new friend; that duck followed her everywhere....

Tales From The Treehouse

A bee busy and there's not enough coffee in the world... if you'd have stayed and left work somewhere else we would have probably fallen further through a caterpillar hole where time goes all funny then 3 hours have passed in a slow blink of an eye.  I wanted to be closer to you; inside your chest and your eye, like the movie where they're tiny.  

Inside.  Inside and all over...

Who would have ever thought this could have happened.

...It's the rest that's unbelievable now... but I'll get a magic pass and escape, might be wrong but I'm not caring, at least we can sit in the dark together.

The bunny: loved.

Playing with Cameras in The Garden...

Some photos printed from a shoot a couple of months ago when it was still warm enough to dance around the garden in a summer dress, just. We took our old and new cameras to play...

Tales from The Treehouse

I'm trying to be healthy and I think I'm allergic to it ... my body is unsure what to do with all this fruit and soup inside and keeps asking me where all the caffeine is at. Berries in my washing and not even a bubble in my bath. My bed is a nicer place to be now though... also because sometimes, like in a minute you rock up at my door, I like that. That other place seems so far away right now, and more, and I don't much mind it seems - I guess here is growing on me again; moss not mould... but not for long because the middle of nowhere calls, like now, but in reality and with more fields...

Girl of my Dreams... Lula

* Polaroid From Lula Magazine Issue 2 *

* Cover print from Lula Magazine issue 1 *

One day walking through eBay I came across an A5 Kirsten Dunst embellished Lula Advertisement postcard from 2007, I was trying to get another Lula fix after I'd bought all the back issues I had previously missed, so I bought it and cyber-bumped-into Becky Smith, the creative director of Lula up until issue 8, we got to talking and now I have lots of Lula goodies arrive in the post, some of which are these prints and polaroids that now live on my wall. I'm a happy bunny and so is my wall...

* 3 more Lula Polaroid out-takes *

More tales from the treehouse:

Pool in a favourite unlikely haunt and there's me and there's you and we're talking about things that matter and I'm happy. I won't try to keep the pirate that wants to run away to play in fields in the dark with twigs for breakfast, as much as I'd like to - because that would be selfish. I do like mornings now though and falling asleep and all the things we do in between. Witness me fall. But not stupidly this time, not blindly, just completely.
