Paris connections - new DVD

I've just heard there is a new dvd out soon called Paris Connections.  How about this for an innovative idea?  Tesco is funding the film and Trudie Styler, Sting's wife is centrepiece in its production.  I cannot believe it.  Whatever next....Morrisons Productions, Asda Associated Films, Lidl Works?

Are they going to give you extra clubcard points just to buy it.  I don't know, I'm a bit dubious about its success.  But I will be the first to cheer if it makes headlines.  It's movies on a small scale but apparently it's supposed to be a high-end feature.  The Guardian asked if it would be one of Tesco's Finest range.  I had to stifle a snort, I'm afraid...

Take a look at http://www.parisconnectionsmovie.com/

I tried to get on the site, but their blog was down.  Looks like they used the Tesco Value server.  Either that or there's been a massive influx of interest.  I doubt the latter and think it may well be down to dodgy wiring or the slip of the technician's hand.  Oh well, let's hope their producing is First Choice.

Enjoy, people.  I better get back to my day job.  The one that pays the rent.  Happy musings....

Found Things

Watercolour by Golly Bard
I found this wonderful watercolour at Golly Bard's Shop on Etsy.com.  Take a look at http://www.etsy.com/shop/GollyBard?ref=seller_info 

It is just the most gorgeously simple discovery I've made in a long time.  I love it!

And what did I get up to?

I paid a visit, this weekend, to an old favourite place of mine - Steep Hill, Lincoln.  I just love its windy, wobbly streets and the steep ascent to the gorgeous Lincoln Cathedral (where they filmed parts of the Da Vinci Code).  It really oozes history and if you manage to get there, make sure you take a rest half way. It's a Steep Hill.  Aptly named.  Around the same place you'll find the leaning lampost - you can't miss it - it really doesn't look sober.

It was whilst resting my weary husband here that I discovered this gem of a vintage shop.  Take a look at http://www.tastyvintage.com/index.php.  Wow - so beautifully laid out and with really exquisite and wearable vintage items.  Time stood still in the back room where I found myself emotionally snagged to the antique lace and corsetry, tucked away very discreetly and aesthetically at the back of the boutique.  It took two rounds of the shop before I could be dragged out, empty handed and against my will, by my better half.

Take care, lovely people.  Happy accidents and lucky finds to you all.

This is a sneak peak at all the creative musings I've been having lately.  I've drawn lots of inspiration from my friends around me and this lovely summer that we've been having lately...
