Wondering

Wondering whether I should take a break from C&H and concentrate on my travel blog or ramp it up and take up some of the offers for advertising. I've never been one for decisions. Advice welcome. x

Ever flattered and excited. Thank you Snippet & Ink.

Their First Apartment

This is mum and dad's first apartment. Mum tells me it was very chic at the time. I like how she has roses in a crystal vase in the kitchen and they reappear again on the contact-paper-covered- TV. Either she was ahead of her time (or we're behind) - When I look closely I notice trends that have come and gone and come again since...there is a bird cage in the dining room with a table setting I'd kill for now. More flowers and plants in the living room with mirror tiles on a green feature wall and a Kartell storage cabinet (just out of view). The bedroom comes into its own and I love the sheer curtains in the spare room where her little sisters would stay.

I wonder what my kids will think of my apartment in decades to come.

Hello Sweetpea

Domesticity

A waterfall of shirts to iron, planning Paris, tea in the sink.

Sunday Cuppa

The simple things. A perfect mug of steaming hot tea on a (freezing) cold winters day. I go through phases with tea (as I do with most things) and my latest tea obsession is Rose with French Vanilla, it tastes like molten Turkish delight. It's made by Dilmah and it's in a supermarket near you.

Pretty Little Things

I've stacked the shelves which Mr built with to house all my pretty little things that make me happy.
