The last few weeks have been pretty busy, but not so mad that I haven't been enjoying myself. In fact, the reason I haven't written any blogs in a little while is because I've been doing so many enjoyable things and have been making the most of seeing people and going places. 

With so much awesome stuff going on, I knew I couldn't skip out on a 10 things post, especially as it's going to take me a while to get everything written up. So until I do get some more reviews and musings online, here are a few things that I've really enjoyed this May: 

I have this thing for quotes. If it has a quote I like on it, I'm getting it. As a result, my house is full of lovely little touches that feature some of my favourite words. I even used quotes instead of table numbers at my wedding, which are also now hanging in my house. When you love books and movies as much as I do, it stands to reason that a good quote is going to be the perfect finishing touch to any decor. 

This is why I was super excited when Old English Company contacted me to see if I'd like to try some of their products. One look at their site and I knew I was going to struggle to just pick a few things and not end up filling my basket with extra lovely stuff. 

There was so much to choose from, with stationery, prints, homeware and even gift wrap on offer, all featuring fun designs and brilliant quotes. Even better, the products are hand-lettered in England, using simple and elegant designs that are really striking. This meant that even the smallest product on their site has something special about it. 

With so much to choose from, it ended up taking me a few hours, plus several discussions with friends and the husband, to pick out a few things. I ended up choosing a mug, a print and an enamel pin, along with a T-shirt from Old English Company's sister company, Letter Clothing Company - which you can read all about in a blog soon. I also chose three quotes, two about female empowerment - because who doesn't need more of that - and one of my favourite Emily Bronte quotes.  ​
