Coming home for Christmas.....

As you are all probably aware Christmas is nearly upon us; and we are all now madly wondering what we are going to decorate our homes with . What wreath to hang on the front door, what to decorate the tables with and how to decorate the tree . Its also a time when people arrive back home for a visit and a great time for catching up with lots of friends. I must say the thought of catching up with family and friends is the part about Christmas that i love the most.
Maybe a wreath like this one would do the trick....
This is absolutely gorgeous and would make anyone feel Christmas is here!
How about this tree in your main living area; snow and all........Have fun decorating and i will see you all soon.

This gorgeous book by Chirstina Strutt called "The Guide to natural housekeeping" , is now back in stock. This book would make a lovely a gift for anyone interested in natural ways to clean and care for your home.
Lots of goodies in this pantry cupboard.
A pair of wooden lamps with linen shades....everyone can do with a pair of lamps like these.
A bedside clock to remind you of what time you should be getting out of bed!
And lastly a good variety of decorations, ribbons and tags for gifts or something to add to our tired collections. Take care. x

Inspirations.....

As some of you may know we are flat out with the restoration of our new (old) home and i am constantly going through my files for ideas and inspiration; so i thought i would share some of them with you.
Love this kitchen for its rustic beauty.
What a great size island for working and entertaining around; i am afraid i will not have the room.....a galley kitchen for me.
This picnic getaway could be on the cards....feeling like i need a break.
Maybe even a French holiday stay....not likely. But guess what, everyone is entitled to dream!

Check out the size of this shoe last; under the side table....its huge. What a wonderful eclectic mix of bits and pieces. Have a great day.....see you soon.
