Weekly Weak Knees no. 59

Weekly Weak Knees is a collection of the things that are making me happy this week. Some of these posts have been shared in my daily “currently loving” sidebar feature, but most is a new mix of design, great food, my favourite posts, positivity, handmade goods, DIY’s and a little fashion that I that can’t stand you not knowing about. Why not start the week off inspired, right?

shoulder satchel from Indie Darling

⚬ Hilarious, brilliant musical version of Downton Abbey with Colin Mochrie. My favourite part is 2:50 about how making sure a straight actor hit “the gay notes”- it’s flat out breathtaking ;)
