I'm not talking smelly, nor infested, I'm not in any way condoning a stinker... more so, a beautiful rejuvenation... or if it looks great as it is, just keep it that way. Take a look at these little wooden treasures, promise me you'd take a seat for a cup of tea with cake? Z.

Come Sit A While
Reclaimed objects make me very glad, but even more so when they're useful...and not only useful but truly used! In particular, making use of an old chair that has a history and a present, makes something promising of an otherwise bleek looking future.

Oh Brother
The stitch is a great thing...Sewing, a work of simple genius. I've taken to sewing on the train these days; small pieces of functional mending, sometimes a decorative darn. Lyndsey McDougall makes light work of a needle and thread with nimble fingers,

Pop The Cork
Cork, not only because of it's eco qualities but also it's warm look and soft feel, is a big deal in interiors these days. Remember the old tea stained pot rests at your grannies? ...well now we have everything from coasters to chairs, flooring and bowls! Available new ofcourse, but you could find some old versions in charity shops, maybe not the Morrison chair though...
Cork bonus: When you're done with it, stick it in the compost heap! Enjoy. Z

Bunt Me
This Summer, I encourage you, whether it's a saturday BBQ or a big celebration, get hold of some colourful bunting ...and string yourself out!
Hand making them would be all the better, everyone had a go at it in Primary School, if you didn't, heres more reason to try... I bet there's a flag flying high somewhere in your heart! Enjoy. Z

Bookalicious
I've stumbled upon a load of photographs on Flikr of beautiful chromographically arranged bookcases. These pictures make me smile... maybe it's the neat freak unleashed or the colour obsession within, but they do just make finding and reading the entire home library look all the more attainable! ...give it a whirl.

Steamin
There's something cherished about my Sunday morning wake-up... a tasty breakfast, no rush, no day of work ahead, morning sun as a bonus, complete with a mug of steaming coffee. The coffee itself, and how it's made, is particular, but I think half my joy is in the mug I drink it from... here are some samples to get you brewing... Together, raise your mugs and cheer... heres to the day. Z

Keep It On
The Hat, in various shapes and sizes, has had a comeback. The variety is definitely part of the fun, and it's an interesting search to get one you love, I'm still on the look out. Here are some well worn head-pieces to stir you into bravery, go on, don some headwear today that maybe makes you feel like a sore thumb... Enjoy. Z

Morning...
For my first blog, I have plunged into the sea of 'hand-made cards' ...in at the deep end I believe! Despite the over bearing trend that it is and wishing that all 'card making kits' would go away, I have found some relief in a few gems that stand out from the crowd... how lovely to receive one of these through your door...
