A couple of months ago we celebrated our first Christmas since welcoming baby Evan to our family. Since I knew that he would be spoilt with gifts from family members, I wanted to organise a token gift for each person that was “from” Evan. Thankfully a friend spotted these DIY fridge magnet kits at The…
Loving… Stowe & So {gorgeous gifts}
I love finding local online stores that have original and reasonable items. I came across Stowe & So towards the end of last year, and I immediately added some of their items to my Christmas wishlist! I love my little piggy cereal bowl, and my “deskpet” calendar brightens up my desk at work. I also…

The truth is that I love finding pretty ways to store things, which is particularly…

Loving…Cork Trivets {DIY}
You may remember this 30 Days of Creativity post about cork trivets. I really wanted to make a couple, but I thought it would take about 10 years for us to collect enough corks! So I was really pleased when I found a shoe box full of wine corks at Milnerton market soon after that, for…
Loving…Little Honeypot
I recently came across this lovely little online store called Little Honeypot. It’s filled with beautifully curated items that would be perfect in anyone’s home, or as a gift for someone special. I’m so in love with the heart soup bowls and the heart tea set! Here are some of my favourite items, but you can pop over…
