We are going scrapbooking mad here at The Paper Parlour! Whether it's a scrapbook, memory book, scrap book album or photograph album we are finding that if it isn't stuck down it soon will be. We have just got some brilliant scrapbooks in this week in two different sizes and in an array of colours. The MT Tape and Cavallini Paper Tape are great for sticking polaroids/photographs, maps and tickets down in Cavallini stamps and Papaya Art glitter stickers decorate around the edges and space in between.

We have been featured in The Sun on Sunday Magazine in a piece brilliantly titled 'Get Your Geek On!'. They showcased different pieces of lovely stationery and storage items and our Cavallini Alphabet Stamps have been given the thumbs up!

We have some glittery gift bags from Papaya Art in for you to package gifts in style.

We have finally had delivery of new items from Papaya Art! Please keep checking back in with us as we are expecting more items over the next few weeks. We have numerous spiral notebooks, postcard sets, celebratory banners and art panel prints galore.

We have just got a new stand in which is perfect for holding sandwiches and cakes! Recreate the sophisticated elegance of the Ritz in your own home for your afternoon tea.

Well I am willing the sunshine to arrive properly with all my being! I am spell bound over every flower bud I see. I felt a post dedicated to flowers was needed. 

 I read an article in the April edition of Elle about Thierry Boutemy which was very interesting. Thierry Boutemy does floral arrangements for a wide range of people and events from weddings to films and fashion shows/campaigns for top designers and directors. He is based in Belgium although he originates from Paris. He created the flowers for the Sofia Coppola film Marie Antoinette.

Thierry Boutemy's work is never predictable

Once Wed and artist Michelle Armas joined forces to create these beautiful images. The floral arrangements are inspired by Michelle's amazing paintings and colour palettes.

The picture below is one I took. Using the lomogrphy LC-A camera I took some pictures in the Autumn and the last image I took that day I slid the button back so the next image I took would overlap it. I completely forgot about this and did not use this camera again until the following spring and this was the image I found. I love getting a bundle of pictures back and not knowing what you are going to find, that is the beauty of lamography.
