Summer has made another brief appearance here in London this week so it feels a bit strange to be posting about my autumn essentials. Be that as it may, I have been lulled into a false sense of security by the weather here before and this time I am not falling for it – I am forging ahead with my autumn preparations despite the heat! It wouldn’t be autumn without chilly evenings spent under a fluffy throw on a snuggly armchair reading a good book, or devouring warming casseroles, or bundling up for a walk through the park. I’m also hoping to refine my baking and gardening skills and fit in a few pampering sessions. That should take us right into winter when the real hunkering down will begin! On that note, let me get back to the sun!

Let the shopping commence!
Tuesday, 31 January 2012
Over the past weekend and in celebration of passing my driver’s test (have I mentioned that a few million times?) I wanted to buy myself a little ‘well done’ present – that’s allowed, isn’t it? But as is always the case, whenever I go out armed with cash and determination, I can never find anything I like! Shops were stocked to the rafters with floral print shorts, wide-brimmed sun hats and bikinis…. considering the temperature is 4 degrees today, it just didn’t feel right buying flesh-baring clothes. But what about Spring/Summer home accessories? Is it too early to start embracing them? I thought it might be jumping the gun a bit but that didn’t stop me from ogling at the goodies and putting together a little list of my Spring must-haves!
1. Lemon pillow; 2. Mantle Clock; 3. Re-useable Water Bottle; 4. Thyme Scented Candle; 5. Pendant Light; 6.Bronze Plate; 7. Hovis Bread Tin; 8. Sauce Jug; 9. Throw; 10. Bottle Opener; 11. Silver Egg Cup and Spoon;
Periwinkle…

There is no rhyme or reason for this post… I just felt like posting a bit of colour to brighten up my day! I was going through some of my inspiration folders over the weekend and realised I save a lot of pictures featuring periwinkle blue. It’s the kind of colour that instantly uplifts my mood! Are you a fan of periwinkle? Would you use it in your home?
