Bridal Gorgeousness.

Thought it was time for a bit of bridal gorgeousnesses as my calendar fills with beautiful Spring weddings on beaches, over the sea and in character filled buildings...

Pinterest. A Revelation.

I am just discovering the wonders of Pinterest, a fantastic free image storage website, similar to Flickr and others but beautifully set out, super easy to navigate and a wonderful range of modern, high res images from contributors. It is relatively new but has a growing following and I am finding it quite addictive. Check out my first forays....Treadgold Pinterest

How it works: 'Request an invite' to create an account. You will then be able to start creating 'boards' and 'pinning' and sharing photos with other people on the site. You can 'pin' an image from anywhere on the web as you browse blogs and wesbites and it will send it straight back to your pinterest collection.

Blogging: I have found it fabulous for saving images for blogposts as it saves the location of where you found the image and you can simply embed the link into your blog post so you always have the correct source.

Planning interiors: No more scrambling to remember where you saw that great pendant light, create an 'Interiors' board and collect inspirational images and product photos and 'pin' them all back to your pinterest board to look at later.

A few of my latest 'pins' below:

In the mood for Love. And Jewellery.

Let's think Spring and Summer thoughts with blushing brides, fresh blooms and beautiful Treadgold jewels...

Classic Glamour.

I am experimenting with combining images that have similar aesthetics, in the spirit of Miss Moss and others.

Some lovely, gorgeous shots to ponder today and a few little Treadgold pieces thrown in as well. Have a great weekend all.

Underwater Dreaming.

A colourful little one for you today in my inspiration folder...coral is a wondrous thing. Even though only a few pieces in my collection are coral, it is wildly original and inspiring when working with natural stones and materials.

I knew I should have kept up with my snorkelling...

New Year Evolution..

The holiday period gives you that precious time and space to relax and let new ideas pop into your head. I have noticed many bloggers launching new post ideas for the coming year and it prompted me to look at what’s ahead for me in 2011.

After launching Treadgold to the online world last year, I am still discovering how this blogging caper works and as we all probably do, wondering who is actually reading my blog.

I am inspired by those who have been doing this a lot longer than me and share their lives and creative journeys online. Trying to balance a full time job with our creative pursuits seems to be a challenge shared my many.

To those starting out good luck and hopefully I can add something worthwhile to the mix in 2011...

I’d love your thoughts on how you have found the blogging journey so far?

A Sea of Green.

Let's surround ourselves with gorgeous greens, lush fabrics and stones of aquamarine and moss green....

A Touch of Spring In the Air...

As the warm breezes begin and flowers start to show their faces on my balcony, I thought a little colour, warmth and fun was in order this week.

Bring it on Summer.

This is just about as close as you can come to 

a modern day Cinderella, boho style.
