luna lighting

 Recently I have become ever so slightly obsessed with candles, especially scented ones. I just find that burning one during my yoga practice or in the evening at the end of a long day really relaxes me and I get the best nights sleep. When looking for pretty ways to display them I came across this rather lovely company called Luna Lighting. I love the simplicity of their designs and the variety they offer - I am particularly fond of the cute bicycle tea light holder! 

Do you burn scented candles/incense to relax you?

RE

Whilst perusing the Liberty website recently I read about a brand opening up a permanent shop in Liberty's pretty walls, a brand called RE.

The brand sells homeware and manages to do so with originality and passion. Most of the items are found, some are recycled, but ALL are beautiful.

Here are some bits I'm putting on my 'when I'm rich I'll shop here' wishlist.....

Have you discovered any new homeware brands recently?

Gnome Sweet Gnome

Having a cold is never going to be fun, but I think these tissue holders by Gnome Sweet Gnome would do a pretty good job at cheering you up! 

(It's the simple things that make me smile)

I think my favourite one is the elephant! 

I hope all of my UK readers are OK after all the rioting, can't believe what's going on right now, it's absolutely awful. Loving how communities are coming together with the clean up though- shows a great side to the British public. Hope everyone is staying safe and staying strong.

Love Mae

As I get closer and closer to moving out of my family home for the second time, my thoughts have been turning to interiors. So when I came across these delightful wall decals by Love Mae from one of my favourite blogs, Daydream Lily, I pretty much squealed with excitement. 

They are simple, but effective. Perfect for adding a unique touch to any room. I particularly like the rain clouds and flying swallows...

   

Did everyone enjoy the wedding yesterday? So pleased she wore McQueen- she looked stunning! Anyone have a street party??

Viva la Fabric!

Came across yet another case of making the ordinary extraordinary the other day, check these guys out...

Viva Fabric

Give them an object, any object, and watch as they cover it in fabulous fabric for a truly original look. I especially like the retro phones, teapots and stools. Check out their site here.

Pretty cool, right?

Updating my life

Have been incredibly productive the last few days, scurrying around desperately to prepare myself for my month in Thailand and whatever lies in store for me after. Amongst other things I've updated my CV and applied for 5 internships for when I get back from Thailand..... I just need to wiggle that foot in the door! In between that today I've decided to update my blog more regularly, afterall I'm not working anymore and there's only so much organising one can do in a day.... So prepare for updated posts galore, wow, your gonna be sick of me :)



Even if it's just posts about things that made me smile. Like these! These pics from http://sweethomestyle.tumblr.com/ make me want to rent a room for the sole purpose of holding books in.

I can't wait to move into a place with Antony later this year- I can see it already, and it's so damn pretty. I'll invite you all over for tea and cake.

Something else I see in my future is one day owning a variety of gorgeous cameras (and hopefully knowing how to use them!) when I get some I'll invite you over for tea and cake and I'll take pictures of you eating it :)
