Things I've loved this week...

These are getting a bit of a regular feature on here...
Its nice though, to just round up some gorgeousness from the week...


Some lovely things this week; 
 a gorgeous new print from Anna Emillia (1) , Lisa Stickley cushion (2), and something I literally fell totally in love with this week (all over again) Elena Deshmukh cards (3), my oh my, she has some beautiful new editions to her collection including 'Souvenirs' and 'Sailor and Friends' inspired by her very own little terrier.
Keep a look out for them in the shops.

H&M have a lovely collection of home ware now which I recently stumbled across and I absolutely love this cushion (4) ; could be the bird, could be the 'etchy sketchy' technique or the gorgeous scribbly wording, who knows, probably all three, but its lovely isnt it...

Next up, an all time favourite of mine, liberty prints (5). Their new additions to the ever increasing offering of fabric definitely do not dissapoint. This lovely print is one of many new ones you can see over on their website.

Lastly, this lovely october desktop from Tabitha Emma (6).

happy weekend everyone

Feeling autumnal...

Well, after a couple of random hot days for October in the UK, 
I'm definitely starting to feel very autumnal... 
Its cold and windy outside and I'm transitioning from flip flop and flat pumps to boots! 

Thoughts of autumn have been aided by some beautiful imagery 
floating around blog land and over on pinterest, 
so I thought I'd post a few of my favourites to get you in the mood...



Just how beautiful do you need a colour palette to be for a new autumn collection,
