A memory from our wedding day in black and white, enclosed behind glass in a beautiful zinc frame c/o Culture Vulture Direct, is the latest addition to our ever growing gallery of family photographs. After years of confining hundreds of images to the hard drive of my computer, I’m now determined to surround myself with as many memories as possible. There’s certainly plenty to choose from. Take this week for example, we’re currently visiting my parents in Dorset and I’ve probably taken approximately 800 photos since Friday.
I pulled these particular pictures out while Mr. LA was overseas and the children and I were stuck at home battling a ghastly tummy bug. I’m terribly susceptible to sentimental daydreams when my husband is away. Think evenings spent pining for my beau like a lovesick teenager. It’s quite pathetic.
Mawkish tendencies aside, these snapshots are pretty perfect if you ask me. I love the simplicity of these frames and the dreamy look they create. I plan to play around with the two I have a little more, perhaps adding a few items of ephemera, like ticket stubs, stamps and small handwritten notes. Found objects and items foraged from nature, such as pressed flowers and fallen leaves, would work well too.
I was immediately drawn to the eclectic array of goods on offer at Culture Vulture Direct. Celebrating the creativity of artisans from around the world, much of the range showcases traditional crafts with a contemporary twist. While the collection includes everything from exotic furniture and colourful clothing to delicious food and wonderfully scented toiletries, it’s the unique range of home accessories that has me browsing for hours on end. You must take a look at the Christmas department too, it’s pretty special. My wish list seems to grow by the second!

My frames were a gift from Culture Vulture Direct, but all words and opinions are my own.
