Did you get books for Christmas? I did. I always get books. The people who know me know me well. I get so excited when I open a book, of any type, as I know that within the cover contains a potential journey. A journey that I’ll remember forever if I love the book. I [...]

As I write this the twins are in bed, Robert is making supper and I have feet that are tired so they are tingling a little. It’s nice to be sitting down, tapping on the keyboard and be able to see Robert pottering in my peripheral vision. We’ve hit this year running and already time [...]

I’m crazy for tables right now. Ever since the table of my dreams was built by my Dad I’ve been obsessed by dressing it with different settings, colour schemes, cloths etc. I can often be found nipping out in to the paddock with various items from the kitchen or dining room in my hands in [...]

Dreams are funny things. Some dreams have the power to hurt and some have the power to heal. Dreams have the power to get us up and out in the morning as we work towards achieving them and dreams have the power to keep us buried with the bedclothes over our heads as we dread [...]

Today I’ve got a before & after for you and a wee makeover that has given this corner of the entrance hall a fresh new look. This is how this footstool looked last Summer. It was one of those purchases that was far too cheap to pass up even though I had no idea when [...]

There’s definitely some brightening up happening in my house at the moment. Mirrors are being painted, flowers are being picked and brought in to the house and various corners are being made-over to reveal brighter spots and vibrant fabrics. Part of this new ‘Springtime’ look are these cushions. When I spotted the fabric I was [...]
