Inspired...

I am beginning to wonder when time will slow down? Seems to be flying by whether I like it or not at the moment. But I just spent a well deserved hour on the sofa in front of the tv catching up with Grand Designs and am now full of inspiration and admiration... did anyone see last week's? If not you should watch the catch up now here!

The Scandinavian mid-century inspired house was built by interior designer Kathryn Tyler, who had never even owned a house before and was only 30 when she built this earlier this year! She designed, project managed and basically did everything herself and did it all under budget and on time - I am in awe...

(And I've just found these images here too. Just beautiful.)

Meanwhile this was my view as I watched... (apologies for the quality which is the reason I never post photos of our house - it's a dark old wonky cottage and at this time of year is even darker!)

Stockists!

We have stockists! Which is part of the reason we've been so slack with the blog of late - we've been busy busy busy fulfilling orders! And boy are we excited. Just the very word makes us feel all professional!

First up is the lovely Boo Vake in Perth, Scotland. We were so flattered to be included in this gorgeous little shop - just look at the company we share!


And second is the beautiful new website from Fen and Ned. Their photography and stock is just stunning. I've already added a few things to my own wee imaginary 'wishlist'.

And there are more to follow...

Last days of Summer...

Oh dear. Another month, another post. At this rate we'll be lucky to reach 12 a year! Doh. Must try harder!

I've been meaning to post photos from our Summer holiday since July so thought now is as good a time as any (and what with the lovely new computer it no longer takes an entire evening to upload photos - hurrah). Well Summer is pretty much over and I for one am not sorry as I'm a total sucker for Autumn. My favourite season. But having said that I did enjoy going through these... farewell Summer.
