It's cold and very wet here today - the only place to be is in front of the fire.

By the Fire

Spring has well and truly disappeared here .... perhaps it's time to admit defeat and light the fire!

Keep the Home Fires Burning

Spring is fast approaching and nights around the fire are nearly over for this year .... just one more cold snap please!

Fireside Flowers

I can't think of a lovelier way to brighten a winter's day than beautiful flowers on the mantelpiece!

Pretty Things All in a Row

Some simple, pretty things to end the week!

Variation on a Theme .... Mantelscapes

Mantelpieces are another wonderful way to add style to a room - just like tablescapes. From simple candles and fresh flowers to collections of antique treasures, you are only limited by your imagination!
