Womans best friend?

Good old Ralph Lauren home never fails to inspire. And I love the colour and texture mix in these pictures. Faded florals, patched denims, homely mutt. I am seeing a recurring theme with dogs around here, you can't beat a friendly hound when needing to add personality and warmth to a home setting. I have almost been tempted myself, I do love dogs and their cheeky personalities, if it wasn't for allergies, and If only they didn't molt. There is nothing glamourous about living life in a flurry of pet hair. And no I don't want a labradoodle.

I am well aware that I may be sucking all the joy out of having a dog with this post but I have to keep perspective. Maybe once I own that country cottage and go about my daily daily life wearing wellies and a wax jacket, maybe then it will be time for a dog. This one is already winning me over and it would be nice to have a little someone to keep me company on dark winter walks, especially when the husband is away. I would get a rescue dog. I have a friend who works at Battersea dogs home. I could bake home made dog treats and sew him a patch work bed. I can't look into this ones eyes anymore I think he knows.

Elements

1. i love cinnamon toast + rilakkuma, 2. macchiato, 3. today's bread, 4. monday'slunch

Taking different elements from my Flickr favorites this is the Saturday I hope for myself.

A healthy lunch, fresh baked bread, a warm drink with friends, cinnamon toast before bed. How will you spend your Saturday?

Dark streets v cosy home

Update. Not really one to make excuses, maybe sometimes I should spare peoples feelings? A few of my friends invent elaborate stories as to why they can't make it to things that they have been invited to. Don't say you have to help your dad move house then get caught lunching at a country pub with someone else! Selfish old me, I will just say I don't want to go.
Anyway the long and the short of it is my sister has bailed on me tonight so I'm not going to the surprise party. I didn't need much persuading, I was back in my joggers within two minutes of her call.

Friday feeling

Why when I am supposed to be at a surprise party in an hour, am I wrapped in a blanket taking bare faced self portraits, playing this flickr game?
I have procrastination down to a fine art. As soon as I get in I just wanna stay put. But I really should make the effort to interact with real people I suppose. There is also a chance I might dance off a few of the pounds of chocolate I have consumed in my husbands absence.

I'm wishing you all a fabulous weekend.

colourways

Friday morning sunshine found at Baggu seen here Its fun to pick your favorites and make your own colour collections.
Now I just have to decide which ones?

Harvest festival

Where I'd rather be. I love how the models, products and scenery all blend together to form one fabulous bohemian Autumn/Winter soiree. Join the party at Gucci

Whimsical walnut mill

The lovely Sam, one of my etsy customers, has sent me a picture of the sweet folk she created at a recent Julie Arkell workshop. I am beaming to see the antique lace from the collection Sam bought being used as part of the outfit for her creation. I expect it was easy to be inspired surrounded by such scenery, part meadow part english country garden, set in the grounds of a fourteenth century french walnut mill. Its just breathtaking. Rooms can be rented here for bed and breakfast so you can also stay in these beautiful grounds.

Bandwagon

I too love ban.do They are all so pretty. So I picked my four favorite favorites. Dare you to try and find one you don't like!

Ana de Armas

Esta preciosa mujer de nombre Ana Cecilia de Armas es cubana de nacimiento y conocida en España por la interpretación de Carolina una muchacha desenfadada en la serie El Internado. Ana tiene tan solo 20 años y desde el 2007 se convirtió en una codiciada estrella de la pantalla española.

En una sesión para FHM nos cuenta sus aventuras: “A mí me gustan mucho mis tetas”. Al ser preguntada sobre si ha hecho uso de sus encantaos para conseguir sus propósitos, afirma: “Sí, los he utilizado para que me den una copa cuando ya han cerrado un bar o para que me dejen entrar en un sitio cuando no tengo invitación”.

Starbucks on every corner

Car ride. Dark city. Late night. Hot chocolate. Can't sleep. Up early. Get lost. Meet new people. Team building. Sharing stories. Presenting facts. Silly games. Scheduled bathroom breaks. Old buildings. Hot tube stations. Catching up with good friends. Thai food. Evening streets. Dripping tap. Deep sleep. Big breakfast. Black cab. Laughing lots. Learn a little more. Farewell. Train home. Super glad to be back in the peace and calm of my own home and familiar bed.

Smart casual

The husband has gone to Sunny LA and Vegas. Is it wrong that I am wrapped in a blanket with the heating cranked, devouring a box of chocolates and watching Master and commander? Sometimes you just need an epic film combined with the woozy feeling one gets after eating too much chocolate to complete your day. And Russell Crowe grubby but charismatic is a little bonus I guess. Though fifteen minutes in and this film is taking a rather gloomy turn. Might have to turn it off after all.

Saturday nights in are so rubbish. They (the TV people) must figure its the most popular night to go out, so the poor sober fools like me get stuck with Russell and some terrifying below deck surgery or Match of the day. This is why everyone I know is drinking in town.

I'm off to London for some kind of training for a few days. I will miss you and all your blogs. Another room filled with new faces. A bit more corporate garbage. Dress smart casual. Surely one contradicts the other? I'll just have to suck it up. That lottery win is elusive as ever. Enjoy your weekend. Be back Tuesday to catch up.

Note to husband:- I will be out most of the week so I'm only busting the heating bill tonight : )

Berries and bracken

After popping into town yesterday to drop off some more possessions to charity and treat myself to my bi-annual manicure. I grabbed a hot buttery jacket potato from the take away stand on my way back home. Then settled down in a blanket with my potato an the new issue of country living. Many Autumn pages later and feeling inspired I finished off one of eight wreaths I am making for a local shop that stocks a few of my things.

Lily and Agathe

A Tuesday thank you to Tanya Joseph of Lily and Agathe for making me her blog of the week. : )

Based in the south of france, as well as writing her own blog Tanya has this Super cute shop selling all kinds of vintage inspired treasures. If you haven't already, go see!

Last day of summer

I have to work three out of every four Saturdays and Dean is off to Vegas for a trade show next weekend. So I think this will be the last summer day out for us. Long drive. Beach walk. Pebbles and sand dunes. Hot coffee. A jar of dark chocolate biscuits that I managed to fit into my oversized handbag. Hope you are all enjoying the final days of this brief season.

Next time all the leaves will be red turning brown and we will walk in the woods. I am thinking of investing in a pair of these boots for each of us. Practical and cosy. It does get very muddy and quite treacherous in the woods around here. Think I might draw the line at the matching waxed attire?
