Little Weekend Links 72

Cherry blossoms rain down on my head as I walk home from work these days, the sun still brightly shining against an unusual bright blue sky. (Let’s hope that keeps up for the weekend…).

I’ve been doing a lot of brainstorming recently and just launched my first instant download on etsy which is pretty exciting.

It’s for makers and etsy sellers who want to promote their business – mainly through social media – broken down by date with four specific ideas each day in May.

There’s 124 different creative ideas to work with and more to come for June. If you know anyone who might like a copy, send them the link!

Other than that, I’ve been out enjoying drinks with the girls and taking a long walk all the way from Chelsea to Balham which will be up on the blog with lots of photos on Monday.

I’m also gearing up for TBEX (travel blogger conference) in Costa Brava, Spain next week. Anyone else going?

What are you up to this weekend?
