Rule Brittania!

I don't think I can resist this little cutie from Hobbs to wear for the Queen's Jubilee...now to justify it's P.P.W...

Brittania Hat

Have a look at the rest of the wonderful Hobbs collection here, especially take a look at N.W.3., it's divine! I left the shop with these beauties earlier...

N.W.3. Hampstead wooden wedge

Now I have no issue with the P.P.W of these as they'll go with my entire wardrobe. From my 1950s day dresses to cute little shorts worn with one of my many cream blouses! They'll even be cute with woolen tights in the winter! Well done N.W.3. for designing such a trans-seasonal wooden wedge, another design triumph!!!!

My latest find

I quickly had to share with you all the most fantastic find I stumbled across yesterday. Whilst browsing the local charity shops I felt those butterflies a fluttering in my stomach when I spied this...

An absolutely amazing Royal Doulton coffee set in the most beautiful soft lilac tones. Dating from the mid 20th Century the design lines are absolutely stunning.

I really can't express how chuffed I am with this set and I can't wait to display it in my new kitchen. It will be so divine to sip thick hot chocolate from one of the delicate cups, happy happy times!

A Horrockses birthday treat

You may remember me talking about the relaunch of Horrockses bed linen here. I was ever so excited about getting my mitts of some linen, but after having to plough my funs into the house renovation I never quite got around to ordering any. So imagine my delight when my gorgeous friend Rachie from A Chi Chi Affair gave me this darling for my birthday...

This beautiful cushion is now sat proudly on my bed, a touch of perfect colour amongst crisp pintucked white cotton. So a big thank you to my lovely friend Rachie, you know me so well and I'm utterly chuffed with my cushion!!!

Cross my palms with silver

I've been a very lucky girl! For an early birthday present the darling gals I work with gave me some silver coins to spend at the lovely Liberty shop.

Now you know I'm a stickler for quality and branding, and these silver coins really hit the spot. Individual, fun, stylish and instantly recognisable I can't wait to browse the lovely rooms of the iconic store and choose something to get! Now they say money burns a hole in your pocket, so imagine what size the hole that these beauties will create!!

The gals also did me an afternoon tea in the office complete with Rose lemonade, mini battenburgs and cucumber sandwiches. The table was decorated with Midwinter Stylecraft and this lovely rose which is now sitting happily in my bedroom.

All in all a fabulous day,

Pip pip,

Restored to former glory

I was given this stunning Art Deco table a while ago. In a rather sorry state I wandered for a while how best to restore it. After stripping and revarnishing failed, I decided to give her a lick of Farrow and Ball. All in all I'm chuffed to billio with the results!

Arthur!

Let me introduce you to Arthur, or Basil as he's more affectionately known due to his bushy tail!

Never a cat person, we adopted him just under a year ago, and since I lost my much loved dog, whom I had for 13 years, two weeks ago he's been a total fluffy rock!

So here's to Arthur and all our furry friends!

Happy Easter,xxx
