One of my favourite songs by Eliza Rickman is Cinnamon Bones, I love the way the video has been shot and I love Eliza's beautiful voice.  


Eliza Rickman Black Rose

I have recently discovered the artist Eliza Rickman, she has an amazing voice and her songs are always beautifully haunting. I love them all but this is one of my favourite's.

Mr darcy

I watched the new short series "Lost In Austen" and I thought it was brilliant. It was an excellent twist on a classic and the actors and actresses were amazing.  Elliot Cowan playing  Fitzwilliam Darcy was brilliant and so attractive in regency clothes. :D











Edmund Blair Leighton

People have asked me before who my favourite artist is and its been difficult to say because I've never really had one. However, after looking for some inspiration for my artwork, I stumbled upon Edmund Blair Leighton's "waiting" after seeing this I looked at other pieces of his work and I love them, especially the regency ones.  I think that his work is so bright and fresh looking.  Edmund Blair Leighton was an English painter born 21st September 1852 and died 1st September 1922.
