I can hardly believe it's been a year since Kirsty and Julie started bringing us their own special brand of stylish inspiration. I was lucky enough to be a guest poster in those early days and when they asked for Coraline, I gave them the spookiest, strangest Coraline I could come up with:
Since then they've covered everything from flawed works of art to the beauty of Tiffany, with a fantastic 12 Days Of Christmas workshop in between; and this weekend they are holding a big blog party to start their second year with a bang. They've got guest posters (including Dina Wakley) and inspiration and giveaways..do pop over and say hello - you could even introduce yourself with their handy list of questions. Mine goes like this:
- Everyone knows that I like toile but you'd never guess that I also love gingham
- I'm proud to admit that I like Morrissey but my guilty pleasure is almost all other 80's music
- I'm inspired by hard work and it surprises me when I discover how much I can do when I really try
- I'm always organised but never ready
- I've got lots of cookery books but I've always wanted a personal chef
- I've tried to like exercise and it didn't work
- If I never ate baked beans again it will still be too soon
- I didn't wash my own car today and now I'm the only one with dry feet
- It's not that I can't cook but I'd really rather wash up
- Doing nothing makes me really fed up
- Someone once told me he'd buy me a bag of chips if I'd let him walk me home and then we got married
- I'm happy to say that all kettle chips were not created equal and some are even better than others
So that's my list. Have a great party Copy+Paste!
Today I'm Loving...everyone who thought I was my little sister in Thursdays photo. I'm the big one!

Ahhh remember those heady pre-High in the Sky-guest-blogging days? Time flies eh?
Love your Q&As. Funny how some other people responded that doing nothing made them happy!
And organised but never ready - what a lovely paradox!
Thanks Sian - for joining in with us today, and back then and hopefully on into the future.

Loving this list - such an interesting way to get to know people better xx

What is your fave Morrisey song? Love Copy+Paste and the story about the chips! Cute.
Great list, and fun to read how influential chips are in your life (aren't they crisps over there?).
Will check out cut & paste.

Poor Rinda... English confusion again! Chips are those lovely, chunky, fluffy-inside, fried potato sticks... kind of like your old French Fries, but with rather more substance to them! We buy them from the Chip Shop round the corner - they put a big scoop of them in a paper packet, then wrap that in newsprint paper(without the print though). The best way to eat them is hot, straight from the paper, with a little wooden pronged chip fork. Most people like a little bit of salt and vinegar sprinkled on top.
Crisps, on the other hand, are those lovely, crunchy, flavoured discs of deep-fried potato, that you can buy in little bags and munch noisily during the quiet moments of a film in the cinema (sorry movie at the movie-palace!).
Sian, I loved your list - it made me laugh.
I never knew about Cut & Paste before this weekend. What I want to know is, if it is your favourite blog - why didn't you tell us??
Great post! I'm enjoying Cut&Paste's blog party too.
Loved your list - your no.6 is famliar!
Great answers - I can so relate to number 6!
Well, I'm #3 to say that #6 resonates with me. Great list; love the way you've done it though it seems like a lot of work to me.
I'm with you on the second part of #2 ;-)
Oh my goodness Sian! Would you believe it was your Coraline that led me to properly discover Copy+Paste and also what inspired my Coraline duckie - I didn't realise that was YOU!
Great list of 12 things, Sian - made me smile! I'm with you on the baked beans thing, All the way. And back again. x alexa
Great list Sian! Who would've known that your heart could be won over a bag of chips! I'd also very much like a personal chef!!!
I absolutely LOVE #11 on your list!!
I would have allowed anyone to walk me home on the promise of a bag of chips to eat as we walked...when the vinegar soaked thru the newspaper they were wrapped in & you burned your mouth because they were freshly fried!! Ah..youth!! But to marry him too was something special!!
Thanks for sharing your wonderfuil list!!!
Whata a great list,I can really relate to number 6 and number 7 - and I will definitely go over and check out C + Paste x
Love your list and simply love your Coraline - one of mine and Penny's favourite films.
Excellent list! Did you get the chips? :)
