Excitement and Change
These are my new Orla Kiely mugs they were a kind of moving in present type thing from my now flat-mate. They are just so pretty I rarely drink from them due to not wanting to damage them in any way. Things have been pretty crazy of late and I am really lacking time in which to blog. I am also having a bit of bloggers block, I have moved away from my inspiration (my home town) and now I am a little stuck! I am not going to let this or London beat me, I am going to get out there with my camera very soon and hunt down some shabby inspiration.
Wow! So, I really have to say a great big thank you to Yvonne over at Yvestown who wrote the most lovely and heartwarming post about me and my little blog the other day. I was so excited when I saw the post, I phoned my Mum, boyfriend and rushed round my flat like a mad woman. The excitement that finally knowing someone likes my blog and, that person is Yvonne! Iam very proud to me a member and reviewer in Yvonnes book club. My recommendation was Independent London a great little book all about the most exciting and unique independent shops that London has to offer. I wrote a full review over on the welovelocal blog. So life is changing and I am slowly learning to adapt, I have a major lack of free time, coupled with too much to do. I am off now to go and book my tickets to the London Country Living Christmas fair (I hope their are tickets left), maybe this will provide some much needed inspiration!?
Humble Abode
So, this post has been a very long time coming, sorry it’s so overdue. Busy does not describe what I have been of late. I have started a new job, moved house and left my family and boyfriend behind – all in the space of a month! I thought to appease my siblings I would do a photo post of my new abode. I now live in Greater London and work in East London on a website called welovelocal.com
Ok, so the above picture is my sorry ‘our’ (being me and Holly’s) living/dining room. Notice the Cath Kidston inspired oil cloth.
This is our little window feature of a Claire Nicolson card in a frame with a salvaged John Lewis metal H, because we are both H in this flat.
This is our prized corner, featuring my bargain £5 reclaimed 1960′s wicker chair and stone spot cushion. It is just a corner of pretty things, like my pink Roberts radio. Also it has Holly’s Christian Ward painting propped up like a colour explosion. Please excuse the biscuits in the picture!
Ok this is the kitchen, well, a snippet of it.
This is a real taster of the kitchen, it’s not the nicest, but hey ho we are only renting.
This is the outside in all it’s aged glory, it is quite adorable really. Well I happen to really like it.
Ok, so that is everything. I thought I would add a pretty picture on the end. These are just some of the lovely flowers that miles bought me, I put them in empty glass Diet Coke Bottles to make a bit of a feature. I must end this post here as I am so tired, and need to resign to bed for some much needed sleep.
