Days of Small Moments: Lunch with my Boy & New shoes

21/03/2019

There is a wonderful hashtag on instagram it is called Days of Small Moments. I believe the best days are the ones that are unplanned, lived slowly and appreciated 1 minute at a time. Small moments are the magical ones. I was lucky to spend a day like this with my teenage son recently. He very obligingly, took some photos, so I can share my comfy new shoes with you too…win win!

Trying To Keep it real!

To dress up simply to write a style post, feels inauthentic to me. These days I prefer to record what I am actually wearing on that particular day. The OOTD aka ‘outfit of the day posts’ on instagram make me feel uncomfortable. I feel as if everyone is trying to sell me things. How do you feel about it?

Days of Small Moments: Lunch with my Boy

 

 

An unplanned Lunch.

So this post is merely about a very ordinary, normal day, nothing special happened, no big event occurred just a few of those small moments…

We were shopping for necessities in our local town and both of us were hungry. I suggested coffee and cake and we ended up with two huge sandwiches; a double BLT for him and an open crayfish with lime dressing for me. Yum and Yum! We chatted, we laughed, he took some photographs and the best thing? At 55 I know enough about life to simply appreciate a few small moments that added up to a good day!

New Shoes from Van Dal

Yes these are new shoes, but I am not trying to sell them to you. I am sharing how I wear them and hopefully give you some shoe inspiration too? As you know I am a jeans girl…

These new Bliss Loafers are a much appreciated gift from Van Dal Shoes. Leather, soft and very comfy with a small heel (I sometimes find ultra flat shoes make my legs ache?) Being a neutral colour (these are called Sesame) they will be worn with everything from jeans to dresses come spring. Do you like them?

Proud Muvva ! 
2nd year of his commercial photography degreeand a selection of my boy’s @jacobcramp work can be found in @pierjournal issue 2.
I think he takes timeless portraits. He only uses film and develops his own film too. I won’t mention what he thinks about digital photography ( 😳) 
He is also becoming an very good cook. He cooks for us when he visits. 
I can’t wait to see what the future brings for him.

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.

Cashmere and wool from @nomad_slt saved from landfill and made into a warm, soft and squishy top! Pattern by @papercutpatterns I’ve had it years and made lots of T-shirts.

I have a long list of stylish #japanesesewingpatterns I want to sew. They are mainly lightweight dresses and shirts, summer projects. All from these fabulous #japanesesewingbooks in my collection. 
One of my most worn makes was this shirt from the nano Iro book.

A bowl of fossils found on the beach. Large jar of hag stones that Marc brings home for me. A collection of beautiful @penguinclassics from a house clearance sale. An old wooden panel from a skip. An Ikea lamp that is 25 years old. Bits and bobs from boot fairs. 
All this and more makes for a home with spirit and personality and a very pretty #shelfie !
