Library love.

Is it me, or does time seem to be flying by at the moment? Sometimes, I'd love to hide myself away in a tranquil space like this little library, with no distractions and catch up on all the little things that need to be done. x

Today, I'd like to own...

One of these beauties!

I don't mind which colour, but if someone would like to install one of Roast Designs blown glass chandeliers in our living room while I'm at work that would be great...thank-you! x

Reasons to celebrate

Yesterday, I celebrated "No More Blue Carpet Day"

(...on my own, with an image of bunting in my head!!)

see why, here

....and tonight, for the first time in 27 years, I'm going to the ballet and I really can't wait!

Eye candy

With Spring upon us and Easter round the corner, it's not surprising I can't seem to get enough of these delicious candy colours.

This Friday, I want to live...

Here.

I know 'I want never gets' but sometimes, you just have to use that word! To me, this is perfection in the form of a house. The bright pink door, the duck egg blue walls, the Wisteria, the railings and that bike....colour co-ordinated and complete with basket too! ...Sigh! Have a happy weekend. x

I'm back.

Last week was a bit of a write-off. Suspected appendicitis does not a productive week make!!! Now that I'm back in the swing of things, I'm thinking a wall like this in the office would be good!

I got a little distracted here today...ok...a lot!

Yes...still here.

I bought these too!

More loveliness, every day from now on. x

Anyone for tea?

Well, I can't believe it's Friday again and to think, this time last week I was Paris-bound!

I thought I'd leave you with this lovely image from the portfolio of Minneapolis design firm, Gunkelman Flesher, which I found over at the ever-inspiring, Desire To Inspire! There's something about this room, which to me,  just says 'calm'. In fact, it makes me want to go and bake a cake and drink tea from a china cup! ...Who am I kidding?! 

I love the fact that the room is filled with traditional features such as the soft green panelling and the classic furniture pieces, yet it retains a fresh, almost modern feel. Simple and understated. Have a happy weekend folks! x
