miserable january




Struggling to find inspiration this very grey miserable January, although no excuse really as my friend Christine, who can make the simplest things look stunning presented me with these 2 delightful hearts made from french vintage fabric, which I love....and then I found this gorgeous tin at our local flea market, and it was full of buttons, all for a fiver! I then got very excited about the potential of our local antique shops and came home with this beauty (!) of a victorian armchair which just needs to be upholstered in some chic stone coloured linen and given a lick of farrow and ball paint...........

    love you and your incredible way of being so darn much like me on the inside! We are so darn much alike!!!!

    We will get through January and somehow find lots to do in February...and make plans for March and then on to the summer!

    Hang in There!

    I LOVE January, it's like the first 4 weeks of a new baby - easy because of all the sleeping and lack of complex demands. But I am in summer here in Australia... Coldness is a dampening downer to the human spirit, time to think dream cook read draw see all things passionate to warm the psyche.
    Love your attempts at self rescue and enthusiasm with your cherishing gratitude, your surprise retail therapy, and your Big Undertaking with the chair rescue! Yes, can't wait to see what you do with it. omg can you deep button?
