CHERRY ON THE TOP
I have friends that create things, lovely things. So I am really excited to see my friend Katherine’s new hat line Madrugar taking off. These are just a few pictures of her beautiful designs, keep up to date with buying info and new looks on Katherine’s new Facebook Page. Looks like they had a great day at the shoot [...]

91 MAGAZINE-MY FAVOURITE PAGES
Up to my elbows in matchboxes and all the things that need to go inside them, but I have slipped away for a break, to read the pretty pages of 91 Magazine’s second issue. I love to see what Caroline and her contributors have been up to, our paths sometimes cross at blog or press [...]
SOMETHING FOR SUNDAY
Beautiful illustrations from Amy Borrell’s wonderful portfolio over at her site Cake with Giants, found via Jo Klima on twitter this morning, and if you haven’t already seen her design for the Frankie Magazine diary for 2012, go swoon at it’s beauty! x All images Cake with Giants.
WINTER COAT WISH LIST AND PATTERN LOVE
I love short or three quarter length sleeved coats, just right for flashing a bit of wrist on a sunny winter day or for pairing with long gloves if it’s chilly, and these from the Marni Fall 2011 RTW collection are beautiful. Beyond my budget, but Zara always do a good alternative. Below, I can’t get [...]
SILK VELVET DIAMANTE VINTAGE
My favourite booth at the country living Christmas fair was that of Rosie’s Armoire, with dustings of powder blue all around, sprinkles of embellished sherbet velvet, vintage cutlery with a delicate patina, pretty charms with vintage roses, hand stitched fairies jostling alongside lavender sachets, old suit cases and wooden crates filled with owner Helen’s signature printed [...]
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?
BLOOMSBURY
This morning, I am on the hunt for a selection of princess worthy pink wallpapers, (please let me know if you have spotted any particularly pretty new designs). Whilst on my travels I found this new look book for Sanderson’s Bloomsbury collection, after my visit to Charleston earlier this year, this makes me very happy. I [...]

PEPPERMINT
Up until recently wedding stationary on this side of the pond has been very dull, tons of pearlescent card stock, cream bows and white writing, I even ordered my own invites from the US, so you can imagine how excited I was when I discovered the beautiful work of Lizzie Carpenter of Peppermint paper designs, [...]

RESORT COLLECTIONS 2012
Back to work today, I feel like I have been away from the shop forever and I am looking forward to my walk to the Old-town. Sadly I was not the winner of the euro millions draw and will not be filling my work and play wardrobe with the entirety of my two favourite collections [...]
ZOSIENKA AND ROSIE ILLUSTRATION
If you are online tomorrow morning your Saturday browsing should definitely start with a trip to Zosienka and Rosie Illustration I have seen their Walrus tea towel before but never any of the other pieces and they just keep getting better. I love the lion in pyjammas tote and the tiny painted ceramic hearts. And well, while [...]
LITTLE PEOPLE
With my old dolls house laying empty and in a bad way, I was wondering if I should start the epic project of giving it a makeover, and with charleston still stuck in my mind I wonder if that is the direction I should take? Also it will need some inhabitants as the original dwellers [...]
WORTH THE WAIT
Looking through the Brighton Made 2011 exhibitors I found three stands that HAVE to visit. Only downside is I have to wait until November!Laura Slater printed textiles, modern patterns on lovely linen, layered and faded just the thing to switch to after my long love affair with florals, I think the husband will welcome these [...]

WALK THIS WAY
Being on vacation, on the road with no wifi and sleeping when the UK was awake, I pretty much missed all the excitement of London fashion week.
