Oh we do like to be beside the sea...

June is a really busy birthday month for us with my neice's, my mum's and my youngest's birthday all within 6 days of each other! This year to mark my mum's 60th we went away for our annual family holiday to the coast for a fun packed family holiday where four little girls had the time of their lives despite lots of rain. 

Trains + disco's + games + characters = very happy children....




On the last day we went for a day trip to Southwold. I've never been before and feel a bit left out as everyone and anyone seems to have been already and it really is as lovely and beautiful as people say. It really was the perfect way to end our holiday......



The pier is full of creativity from artists Pure Evil homage to George Orwell.....



The metal work on the pier is amazing from Tim Hunkin including the Southwold sign, even the bins are beautifully designed. There's also this amazing clock tower near the end which performs special tricks on the hour which my little ones loved! You need to check out his novelty amusements too at the Under the Pier Show.





There was a vintage car meeting whilst we there so I managed to snap these with the iconic beach huts in the background which I'll hopefully turn into some prints very soon....

Vintage illustrated cards......

I've finally put my popular vintage cards on Etsy. Lots of people love the ladies at the hairdressers which bring back fond memories of their mothers. So for a little bit of nostalgia here are the cards....





Pop over to our Etsy shop if you want one to bring back a little nostalgia every day.
