Bag Crush: Cath Kidston’s Bowler Bag

05.09.2016 by Leah // 7 Comments

I've always wanted to own a classic bowler bag, so you can just imagine my excitement when I saw that my favorite British bag brand has come up with one, in its signature design and material (PVC coated cotton): Cath Kidston's version of a bowler bag is perfect for me who doesn't like high maintenance bags and would like to enjoy it for everyday use.  No luxury leather ...

London Calling

Let me share with you this fondant cake I received from my Ninang Caro and her family last week (my birthday week), which AJ and I got to slice up only the other day. Next to Hello Kitty, I am addicted to anything British.  From my music preferences (The Beatles, Brit Pop heroes like Oasis and Blur, and even The Verve) to movies (I love watching BBC films) to books (Ian ...

Oliver & Maude

03.24.2014 by Leah // 6 Comments

By now, you must be very familiar with Oliver & Maude and its monogrammed Plexiglas vanity tray that has graced countless Instagram posts, and is perhaps one of the hottest items to have in your home right now. Photo borrowed from Oliver & Maude's Instagram. I've been stalking Oliver & Maude's shop since it opened in April last year.  But I couldn't decide on what ... READ MORE

Hello folks!   How are you liking my new blog design?   I'm so excited to tell you all about it - the design process (thanks to my angel, Patricia of Fancy Girl Designs), the joy (and stress!) of moving to a self-hosted blog (with tips to Wordpress users) and my plans for The Bright Spot. In the meantime, please indulge me while I show off our fabulous find at Greenhills 2 ... READ MORE

ARQ Curtains Annual Bodega Sale

11.19.2012 by Leah // 3 Comments

I've put a really big dent in my wallet after attending 2 warehouse sale events last Saturday.   One was the Home World Warehouse Sale at SM Megamall and the other was the Bodega Sale of ARQ Curtains at Plainview, Mandaluyong City.  AJ and I braved the traffic to get to these 2 places and it was so worth it.  We were able to score some really nice items for our home at super ...

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
