The Nightingale and the Rose, Oscar Wilde and Del Kathryn Barton

Imagine my excitement when I came across a beautifully illustrated edition of Oscar Wilde's tale "The Nightingale and the Rose"- illustrated by none other than the ridiculously talented Del Kathryn Barton 

Oh Oscar! your words are brought to life beautifully in song, art, audiobook and of course, trusted dusty dog-eared tomes of your beautiful prose

Here is a beautiful reading, for if you are pottering away...

What a wonderful idea come to life, Wilde's words with Barton's mind-blowing art.

Enjoy!

Birthday soon!

Since it's my birthday soon, I am doing a ridiculous whimsy-wish list!

A moon for the walls in my room, now that my once view of the night sky has been replaced by the neighbours' elevated house

A journal to fill is never put to waste with me! The Safavid style one by paperblanks is beautiful!

The works of Tesla, a very important man from our history, please do yourself a favour and acquaint yourself with his genius if unfamiliar with him, I would also recommend becoming a hardcore Alan Turing obsessive too, I am very happy the Imitation Game is doing such a great job spreading the history of one of the greatest minds ever

And taxidermy! The above piece was an Etsy I let slip away! It would have been well loved and treasured, it reminds me of Polly Morgan's work, where she turns taxidermy into sculptures

Anywho, most of all, a couple of ciders with the ones I love, and a picnic with my dogs at the park I live near would be the greatest! We must treasure our time with one another, and marvel at its wonder!

Miu Miu Spring 2014 boots

Even in this obnoxious shade of orange, I cannot get these boots out of my mind! They are kickass! Brown is my favourite colour, but the orange has somehow worked its obnoxious charm on me whilst typing this sentence...

Bella Heathcote above and Elizabeth Olsen below in the ad campaigns where first I spied these beauties

To remain on the dream wishlist forevermore!

Corky Saint Clair necklace

Long lusted after an anatomically correct heart necklace

but this one has birds in it too! Reminds me of the Bukowski poem Bluebird, "there is a bluebird in my heart..." Full poem here

Why would you want for any other combination? :)
