tea and a swim


Love this tea set by Illustrator Esther Horchner. Think the girl Skinny dipping in the tea is the best and the fact she left he knickers and shoes on the side.

Quilts




My mum bought me all the bits I need to make my own quilt at christmas. As we went to see the quilt exhibition at the V&A last year and I fell in love with the idea of making my own.
Some quilts in the exhibition were family treasures that had been handed down for years and told the whole family story. Through to artists taking the idea of quilts to communicate their thoughts, such as Tracy Emine or trying to reinvent the quilt like Caren Garfen (top)
Now I just have to get round to making mine!

I think this idea would look perfect in a bathroom. A wall full for vintage and found mirrors, all different sizes. The cottage we want has just the wall for it. So fingers and toes crossed we get it.

I went to France in November to stay at my parents house in Montre. Its such a gorgeous little town, with only a few shops and cafes. Where we spent the whole weekend blind guessing menus. Think I may need to spend sometime on my french again! The houses in the town are stunning, I just had to take a few pics.
