Spotted! Canvas Leather Backpack perfect for summer trips
Lookety look! A pretty canvas leather backpack! If there’s one thing that annoys me in the summer, it’s having to carry a handbag – you need a bag with you, but when you’re out and about adventuring, you want your hands free, don’t you? but backpacks are inherently ugly, so I usually make do with a lovely messenger bag (which is actually just too small for purse/keys/phone/sunglasses, never mind...
Spotted! The MOST beautiful summery swallows mug from Sophie Allport
Oh, isn’t it just a Very Beautiful thing? I am a HUGE fan of Sophie Allport’s designs, her farmyard animals and pets always win me over with their loveliness. But this elegant Swallows Mug design just whooshed me with an “oooh!” when I saw it. The birds! So SO pretty! And calm, and summery, and perfect. AND it comes in two sizes too – which is a salve to my personal bug bear. My very favourite cat mug is...
Spotted! I bloody love my cat mug
I Bloody Love My Cat Mug. And I do – bloody love it, that is. Isn’t it great? Just guaranteed to make you smile smugly, and reach for a stroke of a softly arched back while you wait for the kettle to boil (or at least not curse too loudly as you trip over the fur bomb winding around your feet whilst your sleep head tries to co-ordinate the kettle and the tap first thing in the morning). It even works on me – despite...
Spotted! Beautiful Girls Summer Dress with 20% off!
Oh SUCh a pretty dress! I love this – perfect for summer parties and weddings, the gentle floral pattern is delicately pretty without being too overtly shouty-girlie that my daughter would turn her nose up. The delicate lilacs and blues of the flowers, coupled with with the soft cream background and gentle yellow of the butterflies… just a totally dreamy combination. I find you really can’t go wrong with butterflies,...
Spotted! Achingly pretty vintage melamine picnic plates!
I LOVE eating outside in the warmer weather, but in the past melamine picnic plates have been less-than-inspiring. But I just spotted this over on John Lewis. Isn’t it SO pretty? That vintage green, that soft floral meadow impression of a design… and it’s melamine, so utterly perfect for summer eating in the garden, or whisking out for impromptu picnics. This is actually the contrasting side plate in the Croft...
Spotted! Quirky Hare doormat (and there’s cats too!)
A Hare Doormat! Oh me oh my, it’s a thing of beauty. It’s a doormat – with HARES on! Such pretty hares, too… (Hares are the new Owls… you knew that, right?) The quirky design is in all the shades of spring – I just love it. And so darn practical too! Have you seen Turtle Mats yet? If not, and in your house you have children, dogs, a gardener or anyone whoever steps outside… you NEED one....
