Today is a special day...

My wish was granted.

We woke up to snow this morning!

A gorgeous parcel arrived in the post, containing this beautiful print from Abby Try Again.

I just love it!

There were also a couple of very kind surprises inside.

This one is so fitting for today's weather....thank you so much Abby!

...and I was about to say we are waiting on some very special news, but as I write this I've just heard that my beautiful friend Jemma has had a gorgeous baby boy Max.

So, congratulations to Jem's and Chris, who will undoubtedly make the most amazing parents!

The snow was definitely for him. x x x

A touch of coral does the trick

For some reason I'm not usually drawn to red interiors but today this shot by photographer, Anna Williams, really caught my eye! I think it's the coral tones to the red which really appeal to me and I love the combination of this colour with the purple flowers. Bizarrely, I think I own every shade of red lipstick that MAC sell!

Anyone for Cheap Chic?!

....Yes please!

Emily Chalmers, author, stylist and owner of the truly wonderful shop, Caravan, in East London, has released her new book here in the U.K and if you head on over to Decor8 you can see a full review, alongside beautiful images from the renowned photographer, Debi Treloar. 

We bought the pineapple wall sconce after visiting Emily's shop during a weekend in Shoreditch and I just love it! I've decided it deserves more attention than it's getting in our bedroom, so it's currently awaiting it's new home in the living room....if it ever gets painted that is!
