Bits and bobs... neon pink


Hi everyone!
It's Bits and bobs time! I've gone for a neon/fluoro pink theme this time. I was never really into neon when it was fashionable in the 80's but I am loving it now.
In this image you'll see my bricklaying twine, a bracelet I made from said twine, paint, stationery, a print by artist friend Christine Scott and the paper Airvase. The vase is such an odd thing, typically thoughtful Japanese design. I expected it to be made from plastic, not the paper that it is, but it has real strength to it.
Well, now I hope that some of you join in. If you do, please either send me an email with your link or post it in the comments and I'll edit it into the body of this post so we can all check each others' Bits and bobs out. I think this could be fun! I for one am really looking forward to seeing your Bits and bobs....

* The lovely Marian from The Hut Chronicles has joined in with some beautiful autumn colour so please pop over for a look (and check out her amazing garden). Thanks Marian :)

* Yay for Edwina for The Weekend Island who has photographed part of her fab collection of haby. Thanks Edwina. I'm a big fan of blue :)

My New Zealand friend Amanda of Small Acorns has posted a lovely group of saucers with a real kiwi feel. Thanks Amanda! It sounds like you have a LOT of bits and bob collections :)
Wishing you all a great week. I have a very busy 7 day working week ahead so not really looking forward to that :)

  11. I'm in next week too, love this idea sarah! And I love all your neon pink too, those air vases are beautiful. Oh and yes the puppy is going to be my boyfriends, we picked him out on Saturday, a springer spaniel ready to come home early August. I am soooo excited, ithink Matt is more realistic about having to train him but I just want cuddles : )

  12. HI Sarah, I have joined in by instagram and twitter, hope that is allowed. You will never guess my collection. Ok maybe you will. I am a bit obsessed by crochet at the moment. Great idea, I look forward to playing along again.

  13. Hi Sarah, I popped in to say hello after reading your great comment over on Jules blog and blow me down I follow you on Instagram!
    This is the best part of blogging and Instagram for me, the connection of like minded ladies just doing our own thing, enjoying the journey.
