Cool, Calm and Collected

I love collections - even the simplest things, if displayed together can look wonderful. Everything from antique silver to butterfly nets, starfish to glass candle holders, wooden boxes to unusal mirrors - put together they look fabulous!

Sunshine Fresh

One of my earliest memories is of my country grandmother doing the washing on Monday morning. The copper would be filled with water and when it was boiling like a witch's cauldron, she'd add the washing. It would bubble away for what seemed like forever and then it was put through the wringer until it resembled flat boards! She would then hang it out on the old wire clothes line where it spent the day in the sunshine and breeze. At sunset it was brought in, folded and put into the ancient linen cupboard. Every time I open my linen cupboard I can smell her cupboard full of sunshine and lavender .... bliss!

Working in Style

Because we seem to spend so much time working these days, don't you think it's worth the effort to create your own beautiful workspace. If your lucky enough to have an office space, why not indulge in a little luxury - surround yourself with all the practical things you need as well as some of your collections and treasures!

Tablescapes

Tablescapes are another of my very favourite things! They're such a lovely way to display collections of old and new treasures and give such an insight into the personality of the person who gathers these interesting bits and pieces together. Love 'em.
