Disney's Concept Artist Mary Blair

Happy Birthday to the late Mary Blair, my favourite Disney artist. The woman behind concept art for many of the early classic films. Mary also designed the feel of the It's a Small World ride, lots of Epcot's styling, and the huge mural inside Disney's Contemporary Resort.

The Perfect 1960's Dress from Monsoon

The moment I saw this dress in the autumn window display of Monsoon, I was in love.
The cut, colour, fabric, I knew it would be my perfect Christmas party dress.

I tweeted the lovely Brooke at Monsoon and she was ever so kind to send me one out, so I can spend the winter adorned in mustard.

Have a nosy at Monsoon's rich, beautiful party season wear.

Say No to Stodgy Pies! Invest in a Tala Ceramic Pie Bird from Handpicked Collection

At times like this I wish I could bake, because then I'd have an excuse to buy this from www.handpickedcollection.com

You bake your pie with the ceramic bird in the centre, to allow the centre to cook fully and the pie crust to be crisp.

Cool Christmas gift for any keen bakers in your family.
