my crib!

the boy came to visit at the weekend! i usually spend my weekends in town with him, so it was lovely to be able to enjoy the sunshine in the 'burbs for a change. because of this my little room is far tidier than usual so i thought i'd take a few snaps of some of my bits & bobs!












twig heart which guards my door
laugh, love, live heart given to my flatmate by our lovely friend Lisa x
where i keep my tooth brush (this is in the bathroom!)
shoes & mags... some of them
star lamp, my fav mirror & beautiful tulips
pretty pretty tulips
my amazing light alarm clock- awful in the mornings without it!
my note board with lots of bits from fav people & places
my hand knitted (by me!) scarf which has been so warm & much needed & my lovely vintage bag
super pretty light shade

blue eggs for breakfast!







pastels are huge this season and this extends to food - sweets & cupcakes are a given, but eggs? yes! you can get these gorgeous eggs from sainsbury's. they're from a farm in good old Cornwall of course! the shells are an amazing powder blue colour from the Old Cotswold Legbar hen.
but the question is how do they taste? i poached them this morning and had them with some seamed broccoli salt & pepper and a sprinkle of hemp seeds (my new favourite thing- i'm putting them on everything!) and they were damned tasty! go grab yourself some fashionable eggs!

purple magic









this week i finally managed to pop over to Liberty and cash in my amazing Liberty vouchers which i was lucky enough to be given from my Mum for xmas and from the lovely boys & girls as a leaving pressie from my last role (thanks all!). if you've never seen Liberty vouchers- they are amazing- they come as over sized coins in a luxe black velvet pouch and a lovely purple Liberty box. they make the best gifts- you feel so special when you get one. the only thing is you don't want to spend them!!

for ages now i've been coveting a Liberty print silk scarf. the ianthe print is my all time favorite- a fantastic French Art Nouveau pattern. i particularly love the colours in this one! a wardrobe staple already x

thanks everyone x
