Snow Day

& this weekend has been all about keeping cosy! Layering - the bed, the sofa, me!

White Company faux fur throws for our beds bagged in the sale....sumptuous & warm

Hush roll neck jumper perfect for cosying up! Bag it now 71% off :-)

Cushions, sheepskins.......perfect for early morning blog reading ;-0 

 Scented Winter candles.......

 More layers for me - this wrap I live in when it's cold outside! 
I live in an old, draughty house, built 1650, I need layers!

 Tea - copious amounts of tea, caffeine free where possible - these are my faves

 & a warming tot of Disaronno before I go off to my cosy bed :-)

How do you keep warm?
Hope you've had a lovely weekend & big thank you for dropping by!

Cosy Favourites

I adore the White Company. 

Simple style aesthetics & lasting quality that I have grown to love.

Below are my favourite Autumnal picks & with 20% off ending midnight tonight, 

what better reason to indulge?

These double walled glass mugs are just perfect for hot toddies and mulled wine!

I would adore this sheepskin strewn across my bed - 

in my book you can never have too much sheepskin!

On Autumn evenings, the minute I get in from work I light a candle & get 

cosy by the fire with my pup! :-) This blend contains my favourite scents.

Still on the lookout for a fold over clutch, this is lovely but I am 

hoping to find a 'sloppier' version - any ideas??

Thank you for visiting!
Happy weekend :-)

Awesome Autumn

I LOVE Autumn - my favourite time of year - & now definitely fully fledged!

I have had my camera with me constantly over the last couple of weeks, 

wanting to capture the things that say Autumn 

has REALLY arrived for me.

Sad that photographs cannot capture the stillness & chill in the air, 

warm breath in the cold air, leaves crunching underfoot 

& the smell of warming alcohol beverages - YUM!

Here's what I'm loving this Autumn :-)

Real fires

Building wood stores

Cosy cushions

The evening ritual of lighting candles

Last flowers of Summer clinging on...

My AGA, the heart & soul of my kitchen - 

she knows everybody's secrets - sssshhhhssshhh

Downton Abbey - ooohhh it's been 'Nitty Gritty!'

Loving Sunday Evening's :-)

Leaves crunching underfoot

Cheeky chilly day warm-ups ;-)

Film marathons - 60p each bargains!

Reading books that have been on my shelf oh, too long...

An Autumnal colour feast everywhere you look :-)

Pumpkins - soup, roasted, risotto...

Boots & cosy socks or even leg-warmers!!

Hot chocolate (& chocolate :-0)

Scarves in varying shades to mix it up a bit!

Sheepskins

& of course Fairylights!

What are you loving about Autumn?

52 Weeks of Happy (5/52)

Joining in with Jen from Little Birdie and her '52 Weeks of Happy' 

(although Jen has finished hers!)

 Four happy moments that have spontaneously made me smile this week!

• A trip to Ikea with my lovely Mum to look at kitchens. As we walked in we were met by this wonderful Christmas Display - what a creative idea - would love all those sheepskins to scatter around!

• This bundle of fun, 'Pan' (aka Stylish Pooch)  belongs to 'C' (aka the best friend a girl could wish for!) & has come to stay a couple of days. He is a Bichon Frise - the breed is described as being 'merry' & 'cheerful' - he definitely is!! :-) 

• Wow - this Neom candle I won!! In a FREE raffle at a Christmas Shopping Event here - I was soooo excited & the smell is *devine*.

• Finding this sneaky bottle amongst Pan's poochy things, as a thank you from 'C' for having him - anytime I say if this is my reward! ;-)

Hope all who drop by have had a wonderful week 

& some smiley moments too!
