A Beautiful Beginning...

A beautiful beginning...

It all started on a rainy Easter holidays Tuesday, I found myself in the shiny apple shop in Brighton. I love apple products. I love the smiley helpful staff and the new-ness and streamline computers, the various I products and everything else that goes with it. It's the same feeling you I get when I am in WH Smith and look at new books and stationery and get excited about a new sharpie pen colour that I don't own....Just me? 

Well anyway, I bought myself a shiny new iPad3. Yes I did! & in a Carrie Bradshaw Sex & the City kind of way I thought, new iPad, new start and a new blog. I'd like a Jennifer Hudson type assistant to turn down my invites to parties and organise my wardrobe but we aren't quite there yet.


I digress.  I have wanted to write a blog for a really long time.  I had a brief attempt at one a few years back but I felt it was more like a tamagotchi that I had to keep feeding in order to keep it alive rather than something I felt really passionate about. I want my posts to start with 'Guess what I wore on Saturday night' instead of 'I'm really sorry I haven’t posted in ages'... I read so many blogs that I love for all different reasons. In my opinion you cannot beat a blog with a good outfit post, anything to do with make and do, baking and anything that involves a new product and a bargain outfit!





Anyway this blog will be more of a place I can share pictures, (lots of pictures) thoughts and general musings of what I like and find pretty. Primrose was the name of my sisters doll when we were growing up and I like all things pretty. I'm Gemma by the way, virtual Hi coming your way! 

So if you fancy joining me get yourself comfy grab a brew and have a little peek.

  1. Hello there! Welcome to the blogging world! I just started my blog a couple of weeks ago and I think I like the look of yours already! How are you finding your new iPad? I spy Churchill Square!!

    PS I've added your Twitter after seeing Gemma tweet you, it's my personal one rather than my blog one, shesaysitall x

    1. Hey thank you for your comment, I've just had a look at your blog and it's very lovely, I like the bunting too! The iPad is ok a few issues with it and blogging on it is tricky, but getting my head around it! And yes you are right it is Churchill square in the background, I try to avoid it and head to the lanes when I can, I feel more at home with the vintage teapots and windchimes in the lanes rather than the leisure wearing lot up in the square! Haha! Lovely to virtually meet you
