Head in the Sand

I can't seem to get my head out of the sand today. My thoughts keep on drifting back to the wonderful day I spent with Harry & Brad on the beach at Straddie yesterday. Brad's Father's Day wish was to spend the day with us and the dogs on the beach so that is what we did. After such a busy time at work for both of us lately it was so wonderful to sit and relax for a few hours and be with our special boy.

So, I'll have to come back tomorrow when my head is clearer. I do have lots of wonderful Summer/beach inspired posts this week so stay tuned!!

Tidbits

Here are a few little tidbits I am inspired by this week. I think it's the colours and the patterns and the wonderful mix of things I am loving!! The multi coloured floral fabric is one which we will be using in our windows soon at the shop....I love the little pops of orange in this fabric!! We will also be hanging the pink peony fabric in the bottom image in our front windows at Black & Spiro in coming weeks {this fabric is so me!!}. Oh and also in the bottom image you can see my absolute favourite Nina Campbell candles which we also sell at Black & Spiro!!

Past Inspiration

Look at this seriously beautiful sofa Grace Kelly is lounging on...

All you would need to recreate this look is a vintage sofa, a roll of black and white ticking, some black fringing and a good upholsterer...I am inspired are you??
