May The Fourth Be With You!

Well, truth be told, when it comes down to it, I am actually quite pretty-traditional-girly. By this I mean, I like owl prints, Art Deco glass, cake, bunting, beach-huts & anything by Cath Kidston. I like toadstools, buttons, cherry blossom, retro pirex, swing dresses, coloured nail varnish and afternoon tea. I like chic-lit, music from and inspired by the 30s & 40s, the seaside, cats, watching Poirot on a cold afternoon, vintage caravans, and picnics in the summer. But when it comes to watching films, well that is another kettle of fish altogether. It's life Jim, but not as we know it .... You see it is true to say that I am a BIG Sci-fi fan. Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate - I love them all.

So in celebration of Star Wars Day and my love of all things sci-fi, here is a list of my favourite sci-fi inspired items found on Folksy this week:

 Star Trek Felt Badge - Pictureofgrace

  Star Wars Paper-cut - Gingerhearts

 

 Stormtrooper Lego Cufflinks - Bits and Badges 

Star Wars Finger Puppets - MuNGBEANS

Aren't they awesome? Which is your favourite?

Are you a sci-fi fan too?

What's your favourite thing on a Friday?

Live long and prosper. xx

Meet Me On Monday :: 7/12

Ooops, thought I had published this a fortnight ago - oh well, better later than never ....

Well, it was another cold one here this weekend, but we had fun none-the-less. What did you get up to & what have you got planned for the week ahead?

This week I'm:

Making :: these yummy chocolate truffles as a Valentines treat for Mr A (and putting them in a cute jar, so that I could join in with Quirky Boots' Jam Jar Collective).

 Growing :: daffodils. They are really starting to come up now. In the mean time I've been enjoying some cut ones on my windowsill.

 Eating :: hot buttered crumpets, the perfect comfort food, delish!

 Loving :: the snow on the trees on Sunday morning when the sky was blue. It looked like they had all been decorated with lace, magical.

Visiting :: the Vintage and Handmade Fair in Market Harborough on Saturday afternoon and coming home with this lovely green glass trinket box, to add to my collection of Art Deco Dressing Table Glass.

Wearing :: a flower corsage in my hair to add a splash of colour on a cold, grey day.
Listening to :: everything. Me and my best-friends had a fun-filled kitchen-disco Saturday night / Sunday morning and we listened to everything including Adele, Paloma Faith, Noisettes, Caro Emerald, Amy Winehouse and even a bit of Tom Jones!      
Watching :: Star Wars in 3D with Superhero later in the week. I am a secret sci-fi fan and I can't wait.
Joining :: the Much Ado About Paper's fab give away in celebration of 100 followers. Have you joined too? What a great stash of pressie's for the winner.


So what are you up to this week?

Have fun. xx
