A Cosy Afternoon

Outside is wet, cold and uninviting so I am looking forward to staying indoors, lounging on the sofa having a lazy afternoon, keeping warm by the fire. I love cosy weekends with nothing much planned except a pile of books, cups of coffee and a home baked cake for afternoon tea. The sofa is piled high with cushions and blanket and I am looking forward to settling in for the afternoon.

A Pefect Weekend

 

I have lovely plans for the weekend ....

nothing too exciting

but plenty of time to relax and enjoy the simple things in life like:~

time to spend in the kitchen baking

french cheese and good wine

leisurely breakfasts with homemade bircher museli

long lunches with friends

some creative downtime in my studio

and some time to catch up on a few chores round the house.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Bedtime Stories

One of my favourite places is bed.

 I love big soft beds that you sink into

with fluffy feather filled pillows and goose down quilts.

 I love freshly laundered bedlinen and air dried sheets. 

 I love lots of layers and being warm and cosy. 

I could do away with a lot of things in life

but I could never live without my electric blanket!

Earthy Tones

 

 

 

When it comes to country style, I love earthy tones and natural textures - nothing too slick and polished. Rustic timbers, recycled floorboards, stacked firewood and chocolate finishes all come to mind. Fabrics are robust and hard wearing like wool, cotton and linen and rugs are warm and chunky - perfect for a fireside cup of coffee and some freshly baked goodies!
