One of my greatest joys is discovering fresh blogs that express a new way of feeling and seeing. I'm so happy to share the lovely world of Pretty Good blog, an exquisitely stunning photoblog created by Mary. I'm drawn to her beautiful, pure and crisp photos and the amazing clarity of them all. Her imaginative, short and sweet witty proses also tickle the mind and soul. (Insert long, happy sigh!)

The following images are some of my fave posts from her blog (images posted here with permission of course). Isn't it amazing how she conjures such lovely photos and words with such delicate tenderness? Visit her blog here for inspiration!

I'm delighted Rachel Ashwell now has a blog.

I used to watch every single episode of Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic show on tv but it stopped airing after sometime. From the show, I developed an appreciation for the sweetest, softest neutrals and the calmest whites. Think fluffy unmade feather beds awash in an explosion of morning sunshine and reflected light gleaming from crystal chandeliers or pale pink roses tucked inside white ceramic vessels adorning the most unexpected places. The charm of patina, the glow of candlelight and the quiet simplicity of a seashell are celebrated for their understated elegance. There is indeed beauty in imperfection- wabisabi English style.

Happy Sunday everyone!

I am in heaven looking at all the marvelous vintage storybook illustrations on Flamenconut's Flickr Photostream. Apparently, she must have this secret library filled with rare storybook treasures. I swear I can gaze at her Domestic Bliss photo set for hours! Look at all those home sweet home goodness! How excruciatingly charming and cute!

Have a cup of tea and enjoy!
