PAPER PAPER PAPER
As I was searching through posts on my old blogger page to find images of those estate sale boxes the other day, I happened upon this post about my addiction to paper and trying to keep on the straight and narrow. A problem that has been with me since studying graphic design at college. Included in [...]

A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING FANCY
So as you know I collect and keep magazine pages by the bundle, and thought I would actually try out some of the things from the pages that I keep. My first trial is Fairy bread, usually seen served at children’s parties in New Zealand and Australia. It was featured in the last issue of Oh [...]
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 [...]
HEART HOME MAGAZINE ISSUE 2
Back home today after five days of fun and laughter with my mum and sisters in Ireland. I am waiting to go to hospital later to have a tooth removed. Trying desperately to take my mind off the impending pain, snuggled at home with a cat at my feet, I thought I’d share a few [...]

OCTOBER SURVIVAL GUIDE
So now the Summer has really gone, the smell of fresh mown grass, roses and candy floss are replaced with rain, fallen leaves and hearty dinners. This is the season when I like to start stock piling scented things for our home, zesty soaps for invigorating showers that wake you up when it’s dark outside [...]
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 [...]
DECK YOU WALLS
I have been an avid collector of vintage plates since I was a child, and after the purchase of two mismatched blue dinner plates, you know the ones, I have picked up more and more blue and white china for my collection, so when Emily from Catkin Collection sent over these images (I confess I’m [...]
TROUBLE TIMES TWO
The sofa has changed to a dark grey colour which I have brightened with some new cushions and a few I made. The four legged folk are already making the most of them, Marlo in protest keeps shoving them on to the floor, and now the other one has run off with my belt, surely [...]
CHILD’S PLAY
Inspired by this handmade doll I saw tucked away in Butlers Emporium (above) amazingly made by a twelve year old girl, I have made some super simple and quick pompom garlands, the mystery girl used rolled up tissue paper balls as the crown embellishments for her ‘Jack in the Green doll’
THINGS
Sorry for the absence, I have been making a wedding cake for a friend and in the rush to set it up, and in my usual style, I forgot my camera so no pictures I’m afraid. Now that it’s finished, things are changing at home. Here is a corner. Have a happy Sunday.
VINTAGE BRIGHTS
Inspired by a few recent days out digging through charity shops and antiques markets, I thought I would share another interiors look that I love. A blend of recycled things mixed with vintage mixed with new, all these room images are from the Living Etc Gallery.To get the look, reupholster and old chair with bright [...]
WHAT’S ON YOUR WALLS?
When I saw the book Creative Walls by Geraldine James in a shop in Lewes a few weeks ago I knew I had to get myself a copy. The first thing I do when I move in to a new place is plug in the kettle, put my toothbrush in the bathroom and then start [...]
