Friendship

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." - Albert Camus

This is one of my favourite quotes by Albert Camus. Friendship, to me, is one of the most important things in life. I can count my dearest friends all on one hand. I don't need lots of friends. I just need the few very special ones I do have. Thank you my nearest and dearest for your loving friendship. You are all so special to me!

Crisp Classic & Beautiful

I love these images of Victoria Hagan's work. So fresh, crisp and classic. I love the navy and white striped floor rugs and the beautiful white painted built-in cabinetry filled with collections of beautiful things.

La La La La Layla...

Look at this beautiful store which I found via Domino. Layla is located in Brooklyn, New York so unfortunately I won't be visiting anytime soon. But if you do live near here you must go and check it out for me!! I love the look of this gorgeous shop!!

Jane d'Avril Blog

Just a reminder to go and have a look at my design assistant's blog Jane d'Avril. This week she will be treating us with some gorgeous black and white images and I loved her post recently about jewellery on display. Click here...

Nice Bedroom

A pretty bedroom above via Sarah Kaye. Doesn't the wallpaper transform this room?!!

Peppers Spicers Peak Lodge

Last weekend I was lucky enough to experience 2 nights away at Peppers Spicers Peak Lodge and what an experience it was. I had the most relaxing weekend I have had in a very long time and the lodge and it's staff were amazing. Each of the 10 guest rooms has a beautiful stone fireplace which was my favourite treat of all!! Thank you to Lou who is the most wonderful host. I will be returning to this beautiful sanctuary very soon!!

New Things At Black & Spiro

A few new bits and bobs in the shop this week. Lots of vintage treasures and a gorgeous old white cane chair which I love. I also love the silver boxes and the set of 4 vintage poka dot teacups and saucers. But one of my favourite finds this week which is on the table in the top 2 pictures is the old framed ballerina sketch.
