TOP 5: A Royal Tea Party.

I love tea parties. I do. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is just an extra excuse to throw one, as far as I’m concerned. If you’re not convinced, hopefully these images will twist your arm:

1. These teacup and teapot rings can be bought separately, but they clearly belong together. By JodiaAnna.

2. This is a seriously elaborate set of paper cake toppers! I love it. By 3 Blonde Bears.

3. This photo was taken by me, peering into one of the window displays at Harrods. I wanted to jump right in.

4. If you’re up for a slightly subversive Jubilee weekend, you can by a Queen jelly mould, some royal temporary tattoos…and also some sick bags, in case things get out of hand. All by Lydia Leith.

5. A set of teabags from The Cake Nest. The queen’s in very good (if occasionally fictional) company!

Have a lovely Jubilee weekend, wherever you are!

TOP 5: Gelatinous/diaphanous.

In other words, things that remind me of jelly: brightly coloured, transparent, and probably a bit wobbly.

1. Luminous perspex panes in Itsu.

2. Jason Hackenwerth’s balloon installation for Selfridge’s, London.

3. ‘Jelly Baby 3′, by Mauro Perrucchetti.

4. Translucent and sticky dumpling pastry.

5. A filmy pink window at the Fashion and Textile museum.

p.s. Don’t forget to enter my prizedraw!

TOP 5: Postal delights.

My mailbox has gotten some serious action this week. This makes me happy, because we all know that snail mail is the best. check it out:

1. This was a gift from me to me. I’m very generous like that. (It’s a jelly mould.)

2. This was written on a parcel I received today. Are you curious?

3. It contained beautiful postcards by Natsuko Otani and a cheeky little face…

4. I won this Gemma Correll tea towel from Illustration Rally’s charity raffle!

5. I also received this postcard. I’m hoping it’s because I love Amy.

Other things I received in the mail this week were bills, and a lovely dress from ASOS which didn’t fit. But let’s not dwell on that.

p.s. I never knew a smily corgi could bring me so much joy.
