SPARSELY SPARKLING
Yesterday, excited but a little shaky after my tooth was taken out, we went to choose our tree at a lovely family owned farm out in the freezing cold. Usually a drawn out affair with too many contenders or none quite right, but yesterday was quiet, a world away from the weekend choosers, clutching to [...]
SIX THINGS-RIGBY AND MAC
Pale, simple, faded with a shabby glamour, my six things today come from the three shops that make up Rigby & Mac. ‘The dulwich trader at No.9 combines country style with a touch of glamour, Tomlinsons at No.89 has a feminine, vintage feel and proves that pale is definitely interesting and Ed at No.41 is [...]
PRETTY THINGS WINTER 2011
Happy Friday! Last night we had front row seats for the best firework display of the year, the christmas lights were lit our in town and from our bedroom window we get a better view than if we were in attendance. So, the big tree is lit, lights are twinkling everywhere and I can no [...]
SWEET SWEET HOLIDAYS
Perfect to perk up a very dark and dismal Tuesday, the Sweet Paul Holiday issue is out toady and it’s packed with 172 pages of festive joy! My husband is insisting on no Christmas behaviours until December the first but, I don’t think he can stop me, my inner Elf is too darn excitable.
FEATHER YOUR NEST
Love love love this feathered ‘quilt’ wallpaper from Georgia Horton. I love the pink colour way, maybe my husband and I will have to have a bedroom each when we move and vote each night as to where we’ll stay? Or could we agree on grey?

COMING ROUND TO EAT
I was having a little quiet time yesterday over at Lynn’s and after catching up I found her link to Camel and Yak, initially I popped over to investigate the beautiful May Issue of Jeanne d’Arc Living Magazine, but I quickly strayed into the furniture department. As you know we hope to move at some [...]
RUFFLED GOODNESS MIXED WITH RUSTIC CHARM
A great day for me and all Rachel Ashwell-Shabby chic lovers, I have been waiting patiently for The Prairie to be finished and oh my goodness, when can I leave Blighty and move on in? I love all the ruffled goodness mixed with rustic charm and the odd sparkle here and there. Go see go [...]
BEDS, WHAT BEDS?
Hello, sorry for the long silence, we had a full on grouting, fixing, cleaning and painting weekend, making the bathroom all shiny and new and finishing off those niggling things around the house that you just learn to live with. With this first weekend of June being a washout it was clearly the right time [...]
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Lately I am obsessing over blues and coral, and also impatiently waiting on a parcel of semi precious gem stones to arrive.Trying to get the house ready for a photo shoot, but with these two naughty tigers following me about (touching and sniffing everything I touch like a day long game of follow the leader) [...]

My natural instinct to tear paper took over and I ended up falling for these eleven beautiful things. Sibel Earrings Crista Jacket silver [...]
