New to Blogging

Hello!

Well, it's here, my first blog post, how very exciting! I've had a little encouragement to start my own from a new blogger friend called Frankie. You can find her over at Curiouser and Curiouser and I suggest that you check out her lovely blog! (after reading mine first, obviously!)

'home before midnight...' is my own little place which I named after my favourite fairy tale, Cinderella. I always loved it as a child, the Disney version was obviously the first time I recall hearing the story but I also had a beautiful ladybird book which I treasured. As an adult I now collect beautiful books, I have quite a selection now! Imagine my absolute JOY when, on my book hunt last week, I see Cinderella in Waterstones window. The same edition I used to have, it has been re-issued to mark it's 50th anniversary and I couldn't be happier! (I should point out, I'm 28, not 50!) Anyway, I rushed in to buy a copy and I cannot recommend it enough. Just look at the beautiful pictures:

 They just don't illustrate book's like this any more!

So anyway, love of Cinderella aside, the other reason I picked 'home before midnight...' is because I ALWAYS am. Heck, I'm usually home by 8 haha, I'm sure anyone else out there with Lupus can relate. So that's the inspiration for the blog name explained and I can't wait to start blogging all kinds of fun things! Watch this space!

What's your favourite childhood fairy tale?
