Kempton Antiques: Part II
Finally time to share my vintage finds with you today. We found the chest from an antique shop near Hampton Court Palace in West London and it now lives in our living room. The scarf on top was a find at Kempton, as was the wooden cabinet with drawers that you see above. That’s also in…

Kempton Antiques Part I
Time to share some phone camera pics of our early morning at Kempton Antiques market last Tuesday. To say we had a successful morning would be putting it lightly! We were on the look out for an antique chest to use as a TV cabinet and also some dining chairs. We were fortunate enough to…

Busy, busy, busy
Hello my friends! I’ve missed blogging these past few days but have been incredibly busy and so haven’t had the time. However, I’m back now and have so much to post and share.

Today I’m inspired by…
letting people know that I’m thinking of them – even if I haven’t been able to see them for a while. One of my favourite ways to do this is to send an edible treat through the post to their office/workplace. It always seems to be appreciated! Doughdough.com offer these Easter treats at the moment.
