how long gone

well, long time no see, bloggers!

I have been back from my family vacation for four days now, and I will sheepishly admit that I have been avoiding the computer. I have so much blogging to catch up on, it's a little overwhelming! but I'm excited to share photos and stories from my travels with you, and to see what everyone has been up to while I was away. so I will persevere!

first and foremost, I would like to say a big ginormous thank you to my guest bloggers, Jen, Meanz, Mel, Hattie, Caitlin, Kyla, Kaitlin, and Brandon. I'm so thrilled and honoured to have such lovely and talented people support my funny little blog! every post was wonderful, and I appreciate them so much. you guys are the BEST!

(don't you guys agree? aren't they the best? now let's all get together and convince Caitlin to start a blog, because I feel like she would be infinitely better at it than me!)

now, just a little sneak peek at my travel photos before I fall asleep on my computer and have to clean the drool off of my keyboard in the morning... not a pleasant task, I assure you.

1. saw the Queen... twice. 
2. classic London lolz.
3. Olympic London
4. we're so good at jump pictures...
5. inside Notre Dame
6. lofty views

catch you on the flip side.
the flip side in this case, being tomorrow...
aren't you glad to have me back with all my wise and winsome ways?

Happy american? day

Hello Ocean in your bedroom readers, and Sarah K. admirers, I'm back doing another guest post for Sarah. My name is Hattie and I love to blog about life's adventures. My day job is a jewellery designer near Toronto, Ontario. 

Dress: Vintage, Value Village

Shoes: Billabong

Belt: Vintage, Value Village

Necklace: For Sale in my online store

Here's some random things about me...some are delicious, some are intense, some are neat and some are just plain ridiculous!

1. my favourite snack is ice cream drizzled in maple syrup with a sprinkling of chocolate chips

2. My two year lung-iversary is tomorrow (I had a double lung transplant at the age of 22, due to Cystic Fibrosis)

3. I run a jewellery business, hand designing one of a kind items using new and vintage pieces, since I was 15 years old. You can see my online shop here.

4. In my younger years, I thought American's independence day, was like our Canada day...and in front to my american cousin said "Happy America Day!" 

I hope for all the Canadian readers, your Canada day long weekend was great! Such hot hot heat we've been having. Nothing like spending it up north in Cottage country. For all the American readers out there, Happy Independence day! Any plans for the special day?

I'm a 24 year old girl with a passion for a fashion and a flare for accessories. I'm a jewellery designer by day and a blogger by night, from Toronto, Ontario in Canada. I have been designing jewellery for as long as I can rememer! Check out my shop where my items are one of a kind and made from recycled vintage pieces.

 I started my blog about two years ago, but this last year really started blogging as part of my business to show my costumers a way to wear the accessories with different outfits.

 I like cakes drizzled in liqueurs and collecting vintage tea cups. My favourite era is the 1920's,  (Oh how I've dreamed of being a flapper, it's usally my go to costume on halloween) and I love the idea of magic.
