A perfect day....

to go for a walk in the rain

to make a nice hot cuppa

to snuggle on the couch with a good book...

or maybe even with someone you love......x


beautiful, beautiful images always found here

Glasshouse....

On my day off at home I light a candle. Despite the mayhem that may surround me, I am instantly transposed to a space of decadence and calm. This is how powerful fragrance can be. Have you ever been somewhere and caught a waft of a scent that immediately takes you back to another place in time?.....


Glasshouse fragrances do this oh so well. Their range includes double wicked, triple scented candles presented in beautiful glass jars, body bars, body lotions and heavenly scented diffusers...The candles have been created using only the highest quality non-toxic wax and all natural lead-free wicks, both which encourage a burn that is pure and intensely fragrant.




Quite timely seeing that we have just witnessed a royal wedding {And I have to say Kate looked so classically elegant. Just stunning!} Glasshouse have released another gorgeous fragrance especially for Mothers Day. Capturing the perfumes of Freesia, Gardenia, Musk and Amber, this fragrance is most certainly fit for a Queen....

Happily ever after.....

I believe in fairy tales.....For this prince and his princess to be, my wish for them is that their story has the "forever" happy ending....


So, as I sit here writing this in my velvet jacket,{ worn especially in honour of this right royal occasion :)},..I shall show you some pics of a few more subtle souvenirs I have in store..:)

A quote made popular in Britain during the 1930's, however still extremely relevant today!

Always a good reminder when having a cuppa :)

Union Jack cushion by "Tex & Joe"

Well, I know that I'll certainly be glued to the screen tonight in anticipation of viewing 'THE' frock!! However, there may be a few royal family members that may not be fussed at all?.....:)

And not wanting to take anything away from Will and Kate's big day, just a little mention that NEST is turning ONE next week!!!!! I cannot believe that a year has flown so fast!!! But more of that over the next few days...... Wishing you all a lovely weekend x

I can "sea" greens

Lavallier loveliness....

My love of porcelain jewellery continues with the latest range I now proudly have at Nest. They remind me of the worn porcelain that I collected on the beaches of Penguin for many years. Pendants, rings, earrings, bangles and brooches are all lovingly handmade by Laureen. With Easter and Mothers Day just around the corner, a piece of Lavallier jewellery would be the perfect gift....

One of the beautiful crafters I've had sewing for Nest since the beginning is the very talented Brenda of 'Red Stitch Design'. Despite the fact that Brenda is very much in demand, she always comes through with the goods from my modest orders. Below is her latest creation to hit the floor just in time for Easter! These would make the most gorgeous "calorie free" Easter gift..
