LOVE Donna Hay _ Royal Doulton


Anyone who knows me will know that I have a slight 
obsession with blue, white and linen.

So when I spoted the back cover of my new Country Style
 magazine my heart skipped a beat.

I already have a number of blue Donna Hay items in my kitchen
and have bought the blue Gordan Ramsy Royal Doulton dinner
set which I am thrilled with and they go together beautifully.
I didn't get the mugs for the set though as they weren't really
right and the teacups are lovely but I do love a mug for my coffee.

  Look at these lovely images.

I think there maybe some more blue purchases
Will I be able to resist those mugs. 


Off to do some work so I can fund my obsession.

Happy Tuesday

Soul Food

After wasting another hour of my life loosing the plot 
over my kids constant mess I found this image kind of funny 
and perfect.  I think I need a copy to hang in the play room.

I have been a bit slack on the blog thing lately, so much to 
do around the house and working on top of general 
domestic duties.
I forgot how inspiring reading my favourite blogs and 
discovering new ones can be.

So I will attempt to get my beautiful new house in some sort of order 
this week and start sharing some of it with you.

Going to do some creative decorating while waiting for
my new dining table to come back into stock, and for 
that winning lotto ticket to buy the rest of the furniture
that I would love to finish off the house.


Some of my favourite inspirational images.
I completely love linen











Off to take my little man to the movies to see Cars 2
He is four today.  Happy birthday Tobey xx
