The sound of silence

Yes, things have been rather quiet here. My days have been filled with lots of school work, and large amounts of coffee. Because neither of those is terribly photogenic, I have been lacking blog-post inspiration and the end of daylight savings and the cooler weather isn't helping much either, I miss summer already!!

Anyway, here are a few pictures from the past week of non-school related things which were on my camera, including a great use for 1970's glass light shades I saw in a local cafe!

I absolutely adore the mixture of retro and vintage furniture in this cafe

These 70's light shades have small candles inside them, which I thought was such a great idea! (Unfortunately I've never been here in the evening so haven't seen them lit)

At the front door. I just got home from a long day at school.
(I have classes until 8:30pm some days)

Exhausted from all that study!

The view from my kitchen window

I also haven't been keeping up with my blog roll, so now I have loads of catching up to do, I bet you have all been busy!

What do you do when you've been too busy working to come up with anything blog-worthy? Do you have 'fall-back' topics? Or do you keep photos of things to be used when you're lacking inspiration?I want to know your secrets hehe!

Afternoons

As far as I am concerned, all afternoons should include coffee, and a sweet treat!

Sadly I haven't had the chance to do any baking lately (although I have been snacking on a block of Lindt chilli dark chocolate which is delicious). Anyway, I just wanted to share with you my cute as a button 1950's "coffee" cup (ok ok I know it's a tea cup, but I use this one exclusively for my afternoon coffee). Like a lot of my favourite vintage things, this one was a gift from my sister (check out her new blog here).
