Happy Friday lovelies! 🤩

Hope you've all had a good week. Ours, as you may have seen on my stories has been a sad week. So our break is well timed.

Time to relax and have fun as a family. The first half of this year has been very stressful due to a number of things, so we're looking forward to taking a break, having some fun and making sure the second half of 2026 is memorable for all the right reasons.

My shop will remain open, but orders won't be processed until Monday 3rd August.

Wishing you all a lovely and relaxing weekend.

Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend 💕
As it’s been cooler I’ve managed to do a few things around the house which has been nice. Bit of a spring clean and a potter - moving accessories around for a bit of a refresh. 🌟

A mirror I had in the workshop has been given a kick of paint and is now up in the bathroom. Love a bit of upscaling. 💕

A delicious Sunday lunch followed by a walk.
Ive processed your orders which will be in the post tomorrow. And I’ve also squeezed in some work - all will be revealed soon!

Have a lovely Sunday evening 🤍

There's something about the weekend that makes you slow down just enough to notice the people around you. The noise of the week falls away, and what's left is the stuff that actually matters. 💕

These little clay signs started as an idea about exactly that, the phrases we say to the people we love, or sometimes never quite say out loud. Hand-stamped, torn-edged, finished with twine. Small enough to sit on a shelf, meaningful enough to keep for years.

Our family. Our story.
Three words. Everything in them.
New to the shop this week. Find them via the link in bio, or just drop me a message and I'll send you a link 😊

There is also the option to add your own personal message/ quote.
All the details are in the product description. 📝

☀️ Another sunny day - another salad option for lunch
I love a good salad. It has to have some protein in it and some crunch. 🥗

Again, super simple to make at lunchtime.

Ingredients:
- Tin tuna (I use the one in spring water)
- Mayo (as much or as little as you like)
- Salad leaves
- Rocket
- Diced apple (I used a Granny Smith’s)
- Walnuts - fibre
- Pumpkin seeds - protein
- Cherry toms
- Cucumber

Mix tuna and mayo together. Add diced apple and chopped walnuts (can also use peanuts for a salty crunch). Mix well.

Make your salad up as you like it and top with your tuna mix. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Drizzle with avocado oil. 🥑 (or olive oil)

Enjoy 😊

Do you love a salad? I love them in the summertime but I struggle with them in the winter. Prefer something warm.

Enjoy your afternoon lovelies. Friday is in sight! 🙌

Good morning lovelies ☀️
Another sticky one last night. Our bedroom is like an oven 🥵

I’ve come outside to have my (first) coffee to enjoy the cooler air before my workout.

It’s a hive of activity here on the patio - pigeon walking around with twigs for her nest, shrews running about in the borders, our friendly robin sitting on the fence, blackbirds on the lawn and a mummy sparrow busy feeding her noisy chicks. And I can also hear our guinea pig - Blossom squeaking away.

It’s nice to have just a few minutes of peace before the day starts. I’m so grateful for this as I used to commute into London and that must be hideous in these temperatures. My heart goes out to all the commuters!

Wishing you all a lovely day ☀️

I've had a little refresh of the website this week, and one of my favourite new sections is now up and ready to browse. 😊

It's called Gorgeous Homewares for Summer Gatherings and it's exactly what it sounds like. The kind of things that make your home feel a bit more you when people come round. A pretty jug for garden flowers. A chopping board that's too nice to hide away. A glass cloche that makes even a plain candle look like it belongs in a magazine.
Nothing on there needs an occasion.

But if you've got people coming over this summer, or you just fancy a little treat for your home, it's a good place to start. 🌞

Link in bio to have a browse. Hope you find something you love 💕

I just fancied something fresh for lunch today.
So I cobbled together a really easy salad 🥗
Recipe below if you fancy it -

Prawns
Melon
Cucumber
Rocket
Salad leaves
Marie-Rose dressing (homemade)

Mayo
Ketchup
Splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire

Mix them altogether and sprinkle with paprika 👌

Easy-peasy and done in minutes.

Hope your Monday is going well and you can enjoy some sunshine ☀️ x

Happy hump day lovelies ☀️

Just had a little walk around the garden with my coffee. Doing a mole check as we’ve had a few this year and as cute as they are - they’re ruining the lawn. 🙄

Today marks the end of a chapter for me and the start of newness 🤩 Lots of things in the pipeline that I’m working on, which I will share with you as soon as I can.

Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday ☀️
Happy hump day! x

Had a little mooch around the garden this morning. It’s a nice temperature at the moment so making the most of it before it gets roasty-toasty!

35 degrees today. 🥵 Bit much when you don’t have air con or a pool to cool off in and you have work to do.

Stay hydrated today lovelies 💧

🌞 🌞 🌞 Scorchio!!! 🌞 🌞 🌞

The beach is calling this weekend. I love a beach day and is there anything better than a picnic on the beach!? 🧺

This XL tote bag is perfect for all your bits and bobs - picnic rug, sun cream, flip flops, books, games and all the snacky-snacks.! You can fit the lot in here and look stylish whilst you're at it.

It's a lovely deep navy - perfect colour for a trip to the coast.
And if you need some picnic mugs, I have those too, in both a crab and lobster design. 🦀 🦞

If you would like both the mugs and the bag, you can buy them together for a discount.

Sorry I've been a bit quiet these past few days.

To be honest, this year has thrown us a few curveballs, and most recently really heartbreaking news about a friend. ❤️‍🩹

But no matter what life throws at us, being at home makes me feel as if I'm in a big hug. 🤗

I love the word 'home' and all that it stands for. From feeling safe and happy, to taking your bra off after work and lounging in your PJs without a care of what you may look like. 😄

We're still creating memories, managing to laugh and of course, our friends & family are always welcome. 😊

What does home mean to you? I'd love to hear your thoughts...

Wishing you all a lovely day x

Happy Friday lovelies!

Well, the word is, that we’re going to get some actual sunshine this weekend! Imagine that in June! 🙄

Busy one today. Work and then working on developing something new to offer in my shop. 😊

Meeting a friend for a walk and good ole catch up which will be lovely.

Making a start on the downstairs loo and shower room - it’s getting a little spruce up this weekend. I love a mini DIY project. 😍

Wishing you all a fun-filled Friday 🥳 x

Good morning lovelies,

Happy hump day! Hope you've all had a good start to the week.

I've got a little update for you. 📋

This week I sent out my June email which includes a story from our life in the Suffolk countryside, a recipe for elderflower cordial, I recommend a perfect book for summer reading and what I'm enjoying in my home right now.

I've added a few new pretty home decor items to my shop. I'm personally obsessed with the gorgeous candle snuffer. I've always wanted one.

I'm working on a new set of products which will help you and give you tools to do certain interior tasks. And by tasks I mean lovely interior things 😊

I will let you know as soon as they are ready.

We're about to start a mini interior project by updating our downstairs loo and shower room. We're repainting over the cool grey with a lovely warm stone colour, replacing the towel rail and adding a few new accessories. There's also a shelf and some hooks which I need to think about too. Not sure what I'm doing with these yet.

I love the magic transformative effect of a tin of paint. ✨✨✨

I cannot wait to get started on the painting this weekend. I don't like all the prep but the actual painting I love. 💕

Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday x

Do you have a morning ritual? A little routine to get you up and going?
Coffee before anything for me! ☕️
This morning it’s a coffee whilst I write my to-do list, then a workout & get ready.
I’m working on something completely new for my shop which I’m excited about. It’s something that will be loved by those who love an interiors project 📝 🏠

Will share when I can 💕

I often get asked if I use the home accessories in my shop in my own home - and the answer is yes! 😊

I only ever design, produce or purchase home decor items that I would have in my own home. 💕

All of my products are especially designed and curated to fit into a modern-country home.

Some items are purely decorative, others have a practical purpose and there are those for special occasions like “cake Fridays”. 🧁

It’s been a long week hasn’t it! Weather definitely hasn’t helped ☔️ But we’re here now - Friday and time to celebrate 🥳 Will you treat yourself today? Maybe a nice lunch or glass of wine (or two) this evening? Or maybe it’s just taking your bra off and changing into your comfies when you get home 😁

Wishing you all, the best start to the weekend x

Good morning lovely peeps!
I saw something the other day that said "Buying new home accessories is cheaper than buying a new house". 👌

If you're anything like me, you're constantly wanting to have a little "interiors faff" where you move furniture and home accessories to freshen up the look or use of a room in your home.

The only reason I ever want to live in a huge house (I'm thinking chateau or castle) is because I've got so many ideas for interior design that I want to try. My home simply doesn't have the amount of rooms I need. 😂

Am I constantly on the look-out for a cheap chateau in the French countryside - of course I am! 🇫🇷 🏰 😊

So as the chateau option isn't quite viable yet (kids to think about) I am always tweaking my home interior. And as it's the start of a new month, I thought I'd share some new home accessories with you. Who doesn't love a new chopping board? Especially ones as pretty as this one. I have to admit I have a slight obsession for them. I'm sat in the kitchen typing this and from here I can see eight chopping boards. And that doesn't include the ones I have in the cupboard. 😳

I also have Heidi - the new (very cute) vase which sits nicely with the Hugo pot (last photo), or on it's own and has many uses. I love home decor that is both pretty and practical. 💕

Wishing you all a lovely start to your week and the month of June 🌞

We had a little mooch around a farmers market this morning. Saw lots of pretty bouquets 💐 which gave me inspo to make my own when I got home.

We’ve got a cottage garden full of beautiful blooms. I picked a selection and arranged them purposefully in a messy style to go nicely in our countryside cottage. A structured flower display would look out of place in our home.

My tall white jug is in my shop - perfect for flower displays. The shorter, handled vase will be in my shop soon! Just need to take some pics first 📸

All this sunshine has nudged my first peony to bloom 💕 I love, love, love peonies- they’re so fluffy and pretty. These cream ones are all about to bloom and my pink ones won’t be far behind.

I love them but I just wished they lasted longer.
Do you have peonies in your garden? 🌸

Hoping this evening is a little cooler as it’s not been fun trying to sleep in this heat has it! 🥵

I had a little shop-shop recently and bought another two notebooks 🙈 I’m a sucker for a notebook. I’ve got loads but cannot resist when I see a nice shiny new one 🤩

I’m always slightly apprehensive about starting a new notebook as I want that first page to look nice and for the notebook to have a specific purpose.

I’ve started a gratitude journal several times now, do it for a few days and then give up because I can’t get passed being grateful for my family and if I don’t mention them I feel guilty 😂 So I’ve given up!

It’s like that question “if your house was on fire what would you take”. Family obvs but the question is really about what items you’d take with you.

Is anyone else having the same issue? Or is it just me being a numpty? 😊

Maybe I should start the journal again and write at the beginning “it’s a given that I’m grateful for my family” so I can actually be a bit more in-depth each day.

I’d love to be able to journal like those peeps who do it properly with little sketches, use pretty washi-tape and different coloured pens - but I just don’t have the time.

Do you journal or write a diary of some sort?
My husband keeps a digital diary which includes photos for that day. But I’m old fashioned and prefer pen and paper. 📝 And the less time I’m on my phone - the better!

So tonight after I’ve watched Gogglebox (rock n roll over here) I’m going to take myself off to bed and try writing in my gratitude journal again. Maybe I can be grateful for having a new notebook and it being the start of the weekend 🥳

Happy weekend lovelies 💕

Such a busy but beautiful day today.
Spent at home pottering about in the garden, cooked a roast and even made a cake at the last minute. 🍰

Going to enjoy our roast chicken with all the trimmings and then all crash on the sofa to watch a film.

And to make it even better - it’s a bank holiday Monday tomorrow 😁🥳🤩

Hope you’ve all had a lovely day too 💕

When I was younger the kitchen at home was just a practical space - meals were cooked, jam was made and it was where our pets ate. 🐾

Now kitchens are much more important to a home. When we moved into our characterful cottage the kitchen was very dark and layout didn't work at all. When we first viewed it I remember thinking at the time - this will have to change. 🌟

I wanted a kitchen that was light and welcoming. A multi-functional space where everyone is welcome, and that is now what it is. It's a space where we can relax, as well as cook, do homework or my own work, have family catch-ups or entertain friends. I honestly don't know what we did before we got the island. It's always got so much stuff on it! 🙈 Where the hell did we put it all before!?!? 😆

And the thing I love the most about the space, is that we made sure we had lots of shelving and surfaces so I can add my decorative accessories - I mean, who doesn't love a bit of interior faffing! 😍

If you love interior faffing too - check out the kitchen accessories online.

Good morning & happy Monday!

📆 New week.
🌟 New start.
💕 New home decor.

Meet Hugo! The cutest little pot for your home. He may be small, but he has lot of uses. From plants, to storing kitchen utensils and your dinner candles! But he also looks super cute on his own.

Come with a decorative leather tag which says "for you" - making it the perfect gift. Would make a lovely new home gift.

Hugo is in store now - pop along to my bio where you'll find the link to shop 🛍

Happy Friday lovelies! 🤩

Hope you’ve all had a good week. Soooo glad it’s Friday!

As the weather is starting to cheer up my husband and I are out in the garden more. There’s lots to do!
As gardens go it is very high maintenance! Always in need of some TLC. 🙄

We’ve got a smallish patio area that doesn’t really have a use. It’s higher than our main patio area, so one of our projects is to dig out a space in one of the boarders and pop in some steps leading up to the small patio.

It doesn’t get much sunshine as there are tall hedges and trees, so we’re going to clear it all out and start again with plants and flowers that survive without much sun. Apparently, hydrangeas are good for shaded areas? 🪴🪴🪴

If you have any advice for a shaded garden area I would love to hear as I’m not that green fingered (as you may know from my previous post). 🙈

Will you be out in the garden this weekend? ☀️

Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday. 💕
What have you been up to? Something nice I hope.

I've done a bit of everything today, including a workout, planning garden projects & baking healthy treats for the week ahead and a naughty (but nice) ginger cake for pudding later. Cannot wait to have a slice of that with some vanilla custard 😋

But a part of my Sunday is to plan - what is coming up next week? We have so many different appointments, meetings and places to be, between us that I need to have them all logged in one place so I know what I'm doing, or where I need to be.

I hate thinking of what to make for dinner each day. How the hell did that become my never-ending job? Nobody tells you this is what you will have to do every - single - day. 🙄 So to save time during the busy week, I plan meals on a Sunday and make a food shopping list at the same time.

I'm not very good at winging it - never have been. I'm a planner. I like to know details in advance - whether that's a work meeting / new project or something like a weekend away. I like to know what's coming up so I know what I need to do in advance. And don't get me started on my lists. OMG I have sooooo many lists and planning notebooks full of ideas for home and business! 🙈 😆

So I'm now trying to put things in place such as the meal plan thing so I reduce the probability of unwanted surprises and stresses during the busy week ahead. And Sunday os the perfect day for this.

Do you like to plan or are you a sod it, let's just wing-it type of person? Sometimes I wish I was a little bit more of a wing-it person but it stresses me out. I much prefer to have a plan. 📝 Are you the same? Let me know in the comments...

Wishing you a lovely Sunday evening 💕

Growing and keeping plants alive is probably normal for most people. But for me this is a massive achievement! I am useless with indoor plants. 🪴

I love greenery in the home - it helps soften the edges and adds texture and colour. So I’m a massive fan of faux stems, plants and trees.

But whenever I’ve tried to keep a plant alive in my home it’s dead within no time at all. 😳

I’ve had friends and family gift me plants and it takes me all my time to not say - “no, you keep it as I will kill it within weeks” 😳 Instead I smile, say thank you and quietly whisper to the plant that I’m sorry.

My mum gave me a little cutting of this at Christmas and it’s still alive!!!! And it’s grown and everything! 😍

I just hope I can keep it going 🤞
Any tips on indoor plants would be much appreciated 😁

Wishing you all a lovely weekend 💕
