White and Rustic

 

 

Surround yourself with what you love ....

For me that means my family, my friends, nature, my lovely garden, 

beautiful furniture, antiques, chandeliers, design books, 

fashion magazines, artwork and recipe books.

These things collectively make me happy and fill my life with joy.

Wild About Roses

Everywhere I look, everything I read and every conversation I have is a

an endless source of ideas in my life, work and wardrobe. 

Inspiration for me comes in many forms :

a book, a movie, an old Vogue, a piece of art or a fashion exhibition.

Today I'm feeling nostalgic for these

wildly romantic rose prints!

Mother's Day Treats

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day

I am looking forward to afternoon tea with my mum.

I have made her a little hamper of some pretty indulgences :-

a scented candle, some handcream and a box of macarons.

Which I'm sure she'll love.

I am simply looking forward to a little pampering:-

an extra long lie in,

perhaps breakfast in bed,

and a long hot soak in the bath.

For me that will be a perfect day!

Red Hill Charm

  

 

 

 

 

Here are a few of my favourite things that have always
attracted me about life in the country :-

* healthy, active kids with a sense of adventure
* white painted cottages
* 'shabby chic' furniture in pretty pastels
 * time to bake, sew and garden
* room for ponies, dogs and chicken

Golden Days

 

 

 

Now that Autumn has set in, it's time to think about :-

lighting the fire on chilly nights
baking an apple pie
making some homemade pumpkin soup and
 going for walks in the park to hear the leaves crunch underfoot.

Stay cosy this weekend!

Herb Gardens

A herb garden is your little patch to nurture nature.

No matter how humble your home is,

a herb garden only takes the tiniest corner of the earth
or a couple of terracotta pots to flourish.

My favourite herbs are:-

Mint in tea
Basin on salad
Rosemary on lamb
Dill on Fish
Parley sprinkled on soup
Lavender in my drawers
