Determined to actually do most of these this Autumn!

👩‍🍳Doing pumpkin fritters has been on my agenda since I had some amazing Tanzanian ones earlier this year and always trying to figure out ways to not waste the inside of the pumpkin.

🌲Making sure I go outside regularly is high on my list and tempted to get a Forestry England membership.

✂️Tis the season for cosy craft evenings! Going for smaller less time consuming ones so I can feel like I achieve something in the evenings. And if you haven't already seen, I've got some workshops planned at the shop for group crafting fun.

👻 And of course got to get started on my costume this year, glitter or fuzzy bat is at the top so far 🦇

Workshops are back! And not just one but I've got three lined up for Autumn starting with a fun filled night inspired by one of my favourite films Practical Magic 🌟

I'll be dressing up the shop, we'll be painting pots for rosemary and binding sage for the next full moon whilst drinking 'Midnight' Margaritas 🍸

Links in the bio or just head straight to my website to book, spaces are limited.

It's all about the dopamine decor 🤩 I often get told my style is eclectic and if that means most of the objects in my home hold value, then it's me down to a T.

Decorating should always show your personal style, fill it with goodies that hold memories of past trips and make you feel happy even if it's a tiny spoon!

Snack bowls from South Africa, Morocco and a vintage one of my nans!

Fell in love with this lazy crocodile hanging in a hammock in an artisan shop in Oaxaca, Mexico 🇲🇽

Urchins, shells and pebbles picked up from all over the world. My favourite place was Nahoon on the east coast of South Africa, every step of the dune had something to discover 🇿🇦

My love of camels is a bit obsessive 🇲🇦

Hidden behind our kitchen door (its got glass windows so them all the time) you'll find a pop of colour with a woven fan picked up in Kalk Bay (fave town near Cape Town)🇿🇦 and the banana print is from a collective shop in Manningtree (that has now shut down unfortunately) 🇬🇧

Greece is always a good idea 🇬🇷 got this little church up a mountain in Naxos and holds a special place in our hearts for a time in our lives 💙

Never not bought a mirror back from Morocco, eventually the whole wall will be filled 👌 🇲🇦

These are actually my nans from her trips to Asia but they just remind me of my grandparents and their home 🇻🇳🇸🇬

My bedside table is filled with crystals I've picked up from my travels.

Love a cocktail and smuggled these back in my carry on my NYC 🇺🇸

I bought this print for Alex in Mexico as it reminded me of him whilst I was away and now takes pride and place in our hallway framed by a recently painted exotic blue arch 🇲🇽
