I call these shelves in my kitchen 'The Prop Shop'. This is where I stack the vases I buy, the ceramics I collect and the bottles I accumulate. I pile them up and amongst my books. These are the shelves I turn to to find vessels to hold flowers or candles before setting up for a dinner party or some happy snapping.












I recently went to a stunning, slightly mad, completely theatrical all day 










I stopped buying fashion mags when I fell in love with interiors mags and got sick of the "how to please your man" and "get a bikini body in 2 weeks" articles, but Elle and Vogue were always a class above. I just could not resist these covers. The contents are delicious too.
