thoughts from staying up to watch the sunrise

I've been doing more art recently, and even though I can't tell if this creativity is going to last I'm enjoying it whilst it's here.

It was so hot and sunny today so I went into town to go to the art shop and also to buy some thread to sew my girls patch onto my denim jacket. There was this fair going on because it's a bank holiday and there was this jazz/gospel type band playing and the happy vibes were flowing. Everyone under the British sky was barbecuing today, my family was no exception and everything felt so typically English and it's a great feeling. Despite all this British-ness, I was kind of going for a preppy American teen look this morning as I've been feeling particularly inspired to visit America recently, I just feel like there are so many weird places to see that look as though they should only exist in films or books.  My number one destination goal is Salvation Mountain, I have never wanted to go anywhere more than I want to go there. It's so beautiful and I think the fact that Leonard Knight made it, without planning, purely as a non-profitable tribute to God, love and peace is an inspirational act in itself and if you watch this documentary you'll see that he has some really very wise things to say. 

 

 

I have to find a way to get here. 

Also, I went to go see The Place Beyond The Pines yesterday and I really recommend you see it, even if only for Ryan Gosling because he never ever ever disappoints ever

I bought a bunch of fake flowers and some flamingo lights to decorate my room with from this shop I had never been in before, but it was much bigger on the inside than it looked from the outside. I am constantly redecorating my room, but I think that's healthy. On the right is a photo of the dentist's cupboard from Little Shop of Horrors and I just really like the tacky shrine idea - I think it is fangirling in it's ultimate form and is kind of creepy but nice to look at. I have a few mini shrines in my room, but they are mostly just pictures with meaningful  objects around them that relate to the person or experience in the picture. I like creating things like that in my room because I feel like it all makes sense and it is very satisfying being organised and making sense out of what looks to be a mess on my windowsill.

 Also, I cannot believe I finally got one of these babies!!!!!!!!! Sosososososo happy, I'm going to sew it onto my denim jacket and I feel so blessed to have one!!!

I made an 8tracks playlist of all the songs I have been listening to recently, which you can listen to here because for the life of me I can't figure out how to embed it into this post. 

I really love the 60s aesthetic and music, and these 2 songs have been the soundtrack to my past week or so.

Been listening to the soundtrack to 'Drive' a lot and am very tempted to buy the picture disc vinyl with Ryan Gosling on it........but for real this soundtrack is something else - I cannot stop listening to it
