The moment that everything changed for Linda McCartney was when she took that first photo of The Rolling Stones.

She was working as a receptionist for Town & Country magazine when she was sent to a press reception and was the only photographer allowed on the yacht when it was finished – where she captured this iconic image.

Linda went on to become the house photographer at the Fillmore East concert hall and started working for Rolling Stone in 1966.

She’s responsible for some of the most well known photographs of popular musicians of the time – capturing the images of people like The Beatles,  Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and her husband, Paul McCartney.

She photographed Eric Clapton for Rolling Stone magazine, becoming the first woman to have a photo featured on the front cover (11 May 1968).

All of these images and more are in the beautiful coffee table book, Linda McCartney: Life in Photographs. Do want.

I haven’t owned a watch in years but I’ve been thinking of getting one here in London to keep as a milestone/memory that I keep with me every day.

This year has been one of the hardest and amazing years of my life. One day I’ll tell you all about it. In the meantime – sporty or classic? For some reason I’m drawn to three or four. I think. I mean – I like them all.

Which’s your favourite? Do you see your watch as an investment? What sort of watch have you got?

Well, you know that I’m a fan of The Veda House but who knew that it was produced from such a gorgeous workspace!?

You can see the full tour of Cassie’s workspace and a great interview on Eva Black’s Blog and find out more about her inspiration here.

It’s National Stationary Day here in the UK so I thought it would be nice to highlight 6 thank you cards that have caught my eye lately.

I read somewhere that an emerging trend in online business is to take it offline. I agree 1000%. There’s nothing like receiving snail mail especially in this fast digital age.

It’s been really interesting to see how popular catalogue shopping is here in the UK too. I’ve noticed some of my favourite online shops are printing their seasonal catalogue. I was so excited to receive the Bodie and Fou catalogue in the mail.

Holding something tangible really adds another dimension to the customer experience – especially for those businesses that don’t have a physical presence.

I think sending a thank you card to your best customers, valued partners and anyone else who has helped you on your path would go down a treat.

Do you send thank you cards? Do you love getting things in the mail too?

Have you met Clare Vivier?

If you haven’t yet been formally introduced, I’m sure you would have spotted her gorgeous bags on some of your favourite blogs.

You don’t often get to see candid behind the scenes photos of a growing business, but Clare let’s us see just that on her blog.

It’s a beautiful way to see the growth of her business, with pics of her studio space, packaging goods up for online stores like shopbop and her new space while her first shopfront is being fitted out.

You can just feel the excitement!
