Spring Updates

Spring has finally arrived - and with it showery weather, gggggrrrrr...
Although my home is for sale, it is still my home and like many I like to update and change my home around with the changing of the seasons.

New bedding and towels in lighter materials, candles with lighter fragrances, updates to rooms happen quickly with a lick of paint :-)
With lighter mornings I hang darker curtains. 
These are from Next, lovely velvet material, lined and the drape is lovely.
The bedding chest below I bought to store all our ski equipment, rather than having it in different places all over the house.
A new small painting, which I love - more on this later, but there is nothing like artwork to add a breath of fresh air! :-)
Move things around, give things new homes, shake things up a bit!
The rug below, thrown over the pew is a Flokati Rug from John Lewis. Bought to keep our bottoms warm whilst we eat, but also for Sebastian to play on. 
These are gorgeous rugs, made from lambs wool - 
Flokati rugs are handmade of shag wool rug, traditionally made by the Vlachs peoples of the Pindus mountains. The natural colour of a flokati rug is off-white and entire rug is wool, including the backing from which the tapered shag emerges. After the rug is woven, it is placed in the cold water of a river to fluff the shag.
& of course there is nothing like flowers to make you smile on a spring day!!

How do you welcome Spring into your home?
Happy Spring!

Repro Rockers

One of my best buys lately has been these Charles Eames Repro Rockers.
One for my daughter for her birthday (in black)and one for my Sons girlfriend for Christmas. Available in a host of colours, I got this zingy orange for 'S'.

Despite their looks they are so comfortable and their compact size is great for bedrooms or smaller homes. Warmth can be added with a sumptuous sheepskin like this one from John Lewis.....which sits on my daughters rocker. 

We surprised 'S' on Boxing Day with hers!!


I now want one myself - the only thing is, which colour to choose?
Happy Weekend!

Christmas Jumpers

Gotta love a Christmas jumper - there are some gorgeous ones about at the moment. Not too late to grab one for a Christmas get together - I always wear one to the Pound Secret Santa Jacob's Join at work!!
Glittery, sparkly, light-ups, funny, wordy, there's something for everyone! ;-) It's National Christmas Jumper Day tomorrow for Save The Children - here's some of my favourites!
 Next
& here's mine - bought over the years. The snowflake long sleeved tee is from Sainsburys - on sale now & perfect for under a furry gilet or cosy cardigan!
This jumper from French Connection comes out every year. It weighs a tonne & is so sparkly!
I adore my 'Kissing Deer' tshirt from Ted Baker, the fit is lovely with a 'v' back & ruching detail.
& this year's buy from Sainsburys! Really pretty pastels.

Will you be wearing a Christmas Jumper tomorrow?
I'm off to find one for Mr.L to get him in the Christmas Spirit!!

Currently Coveting......

but not likely to be mine unless I win the lottery!!

Admired this in John Lewis (in black) - fantastic design I thought - 
then I sat in it....OMG it is the most comfortable chair ever.

Wouldn't go in my home - then I saw it in brown on line.....


What do you think? 
Who has fallen in love with an item that is beyond their budget?

I hope it inspires travel, wanderlust and exciting adventures!
