I love a good mooch about an antique centre. It’s like a step back in time & it’s great seeing lots of old bits & pieces and imagining them in my home. Last Saturday we went to Lassco Three Pigeons at Great Milton, Oxfordshire. The thing I like about Lassco is that they always have [...]
I’ve just stopped sewing to show you these little daisy chain brooches I made yesterday, I especially like the green and white one. I love this handmade doyley that I bought at the weekend, the embroidery is so neat, I wish I had a whol…
Regular readers will know that my OH & I are planning a few home improvements. I love going to shops & looking around at the different pieces of furniture & imagining how they would look in our home. One of my favourite places to go is John Lewis. This is because they have everything I [...]

Just a quick post to wish you a Happy Easter!
I somehow managed to turn the mess above into these little snap frame purses. It took me ages to work out a pattern to fit the frame and get the shape right. I haven’t quite finished them yet, but I’m happy with how they look so far.&nb…
This morning I have been along to the launch of Liberty‘s Homeware department, which includes their new Outdoor Living section. I warn you – I’m going to gush, quite a bit, about how great the products are. But they are. The floor is filled with beautiful furniture, plush cushions and fabric and amazing outdoor pieces. [...]
My home and my words are featured in this month’s Vintage Life magazine. (Available at WH Smith, Sainsbury’s and via download.) It is a gorgeous little publication full of vintage loveliness and I am extremely honoured to have been included. The editio…
I’d forgotten what fun it is to spend an evening just us girls. It’s an excuse to be unabashedly giggly and silly without judgement, to eat lots of cheesecake and and banoffee pie and tarte tatin and seconds of the latter – without … Continue reading →
It’s been a beautiful day here today, clear blue skies and bright warm sunshine. I woke up early and went for a run across the park grounds, then back home to do some chores around the house, before meeting my mum at the village pub for lunch. Wh…
Last Sunday my mum and I went to The Old Pill Factory in Witney, which is an amazing vintage shop full of all sorts of lovely things from homeware to jewellery. My mum bought a pretty teapot and I came home with this floral tin, I love the flower…
I’ve had a few (unexpected) days off work due to the snow, so my boyfriend and I have been trapped in our little village, which has been quite nice, but hopefully back to normal soon… Have you been enjoying the snow? The little china deer …

We spent a lovely New Year’s Eve at home with friends. Think plenty of retro drinks, vintage party attire and an 80′s play list – Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, The Human League, Madonna and so on. Trust me when I say it wasn’t too difficult to give my kitsch…
