Cosy Crochet

Every year I underestimate how long it takes me to get organised for Christmas. Tonight is the first in ages where I feel like I can breathe easy again, all my gifts are bought/made and wrapped and I nabbed a fab new dress to wear over the hols! Outfit to post to come on that later in the month. 

These pics are of a wonderful crocheted shawl which was passed down to me from my boyfriend's lovely Mum. Her granny made it for her and I am so delighted to have inherited it! It's so cool owning a piece of clothing that has a special history. I'm wearing it all the time these days, throwing it over sweaters, dresses and coats.

Sweet Dreams

I love bed time. I'm in my element when I'm curled up in bed with a cup of lemon and ginger tea and a good book. I've been known to spend hours online sourcing soft furnishings and quality linen to adorn my bed. When I buy new bedlinen, I can't help but sneak into bed early and feel the softness of a new quilt on my skin and cosy up for the evening! Vintage bedlinen is my latest weakness. Vintage and retro prints are so much prettier than their contemporary counterparts. The shots above are of some of my recent Etsy purchases. I just love the simplicity of the floral duvet cover and the intricate crochet work on the pillow case is so unique.
