Sunday Antique Markets

One of my favourite things to do on the weekend are exploring the Sunday markets and the country Antique stores. The trips are always filled with excitement and anticipation, wondering if you will find an undiscovered treasure, a fabulous bargain and then there's always the possibility that you will come home empty handed! A Devonshire tea on the way is always the perfect pick-me-up if nothing catches my eye.

Autumn Moments

 

 

 

The leaves are turning to shades of gold, bronze and liquid amber.

It's your last chance to head outdoors.

So pull on a jumper and take advantage of the fresh autumn air. 

With shorter days and longer shadows,

it's time to make every hour of daylight count.

A Bright Eclectic Mix

Colour motivates me to create

I am crazy about colour and love every colour under the rainbow.

I love experimenting with different colour combinations to create something fresh and new.

I am always challenging myself to mix unusual prints, colours and patterns to create a look

that's exciting with an unexpected twist.

A Sunny Balcony

No matter how small a space you have there is always room for a splash of greenery ...

It may just be a sunny balcony or a small courtyard but it will still have potential.
Being married to a landscape architect I have seen the
most unattractive, dingy external spaces
turn into an oasis of lush planting, calm and tranquility.
He has transformed neglected gardens and outdoor living areas
into spaces that are welcoming and inviting.
It's amazing how a few plants and a little imagination can transform a space!
