Liberty Love

I have been reading Holly Becker's blog for some time now & cannot wait to get my hands on her new book, recently launched at Liberty London. It only took a mere glimpe at her recent post & I was instantly in love. Incredible table styling, such fine detail! I have been a big fan of Liberty fabric for a long, long time & this just brought it all together. 







During my 12mths in London I visited the Liberty of London store maybe once a fortnight! It could only be described as my 'Holly Golightly' moment . . . when dreary, cold, lonely, damp(a little over-board?)London became too much & weaved its way into my normally happy disposition I would make my way here & within minutes the shiny, sparkly, printed, patent, wares on the ground floor would ALWAYS make me feel good. Sadly, the purchases were slim . . .it was often a choice . . .should I have meat for dinner at all this week or could I sacrifice & buy earrings instead! 

And just in case you love the print as much as I do . . .

Wallpaper - The Ultimate Guide


 A friend of mine recently mentioned she has decided to wallpaper the inside of her cupboard- what a fantastic idea! I love the way wallpaper can dramatically change a space.

How wonderful would this be for a playroom!? Although, it might drive me crazy if Henry doesn't stay in the lines! Also how would I enforce that he can only 'create art' on THIS wall!?

Button Wallpaper also by Studio Ditte
And they ship world-wide

And there is that table again!

Easter Holiday!

Happy Easter!

We're going on a road trip for a few days . . .  (not sure how successful this will be with a crawling 7mth old!)

I hope you have a lovely Easter break & I'll see you again when we are back at home.

Fingers crossed the antique shops are well stocked & open over the holiday!

Mother's Group Morning Tea

Tomorrow morning I am having some friends over for a Mother's Group Morning Tea!

Luckily Henry had one of those long, lovely sleeps today so I had a chance to do some baking.

Here is my tray sitting pretty & waiting.

Special Things on Etsy

Simply Hue

It is no secret. Etsy & I are in a firm, committed relationship. 

We hit it off immediately & have been inseparable for the past 2 years. We get on like a house on fire.

Etsy always remembers my 'favourite' things, makes me feel great on an otherwise ordinary day & brings interest & colour to my life. I'd say we are soul mates.

And to think, I receive all of this passionate love & I only had to give a few insignificant numbers on my credit card. 

Etsy, I can't see a future that does not include you.

Fabulous Fabrics

My latest project 'The Playgroup Room' is nearly finished . . apart from a floor rug & wallpaper (not in the budget just yet!).

Last weekend I won this little black rattan chair on eBay. What a steal! I have decided to lacquer it in the Honeysuckle colour I posted about a few weeks ago.

And cover the seat cushion in this green trellis fabric.

I'm hoping it will look bright & quirky with the mix of Floral, Spot, Stripe, Ikat & now Geometric fabric.

The only thing I really need now is industrial strength scotchguard!

More pictures to follow in a few days.
