Jewellery red:
Hello there! Sorry, I have felt a little lacklustre and not much to say in a blogging sense. Well, I have got stuff to say, but lack the energy! I made some poppy earrings to wear this weekend. Made out of mere scraps of felt and some black buttons on either side. They certainly look 'home-made' so these wont be featuring in an Etsy-shop near you!
Hat red:
Here I wore them on Monday with red beret!
Outfit red: (er, not so much!)
Saturday, I wore these ancient Falmer jeans that actually came with four poppies on them (they pop on and off!) Sadly I've lost one! Worn with red-edged converse!
Here was a simple outfit with touches of red. I found this Collectif sailor top in a charity shop a while ago for £3 after really liking the exact same top for £20 in Collectif a week earlier in Spitalfields and wishing I'd bought it! Can't believe I forgot to put the red hat on I'd been wearing out all day! A different one!
Blog red:
The lovely Lauren of Someone like you is celebrating her 3rd anniversary of her blog- check out the pretty red dress someone sent her!
Creative red:
Beautiful displays by the talented Sonja at church on Sunday. That amazing lady makes so so much out of so little and she is so humble. She even composed Christmas songs of praise whilst being a PoW in Malaysia as a young child. The kids focus talk had a really important, simple point, "Loving our neighbours as ourself". If we all did that, there would be no war.
Nature's red:
Look what you gain as a reward when you actually get out of bed at 7am instead of panickingly leaping out of bed at 7.35!
Poetry red:
A Poppy haiku
Red Poppy stands tall,
Reminding of sacrifice
Sign of Peace to come.

How unusual are those dungarees with the pop-off poppies? And what are the chances of you, queen of all things nautical, bagging a cute sailor top for a bargain price?
