Scandi Cushion / Winners Announced / Discount Code

 

My heart did a little skip when I came across this cushion in my favourite junk shop.  Gorgeous colours!  Hand embroidered!  Scandi-tastic!  Just need an Ercol sofa now and I'm well on my way to my sofa-of-dreams.

The giveaway has now finished - the winners are SAM and HELEN D.   Massive thanks to everyone who entered, I was so thrilled with the response and wonderful comments.  As a way of saying thanks, there is currently 15% off in my Etsy shop, with the coupon code PARTYBAG, which will last until next Friday.

I've really enjoyed Lou's series of guest posts this last week - particularly the other house tours.  Fran's and Kerry's are both stunning.  Mine was tidy for about 3 hours after I took the photos, and now it's back to its usual haphazard state.  Oh well.

Sofa Crush

I seem to have developed a hopeless, can't-stop-looking-at-the-picture,

need-to-get-me-some-of-that, full on girly crush on this sofa and its styling.

I'm loving the midcentury-modern-meets-Finnish-folk feel of it.

It's giving me all kinds of ideas as to what to put in our summer house 

now that it's getting colder (and my mum has nicked her sofa back).

The contents of my kiln the other day.

Nothing nicer than cracking open a kiln full of colour and pattern.

Our new chest of drawers. It was very tatty to start with,

but after a bit of love and beeswax (and some new bakelite knobs)

it looks very at home in our house.

My new cardigan, thrifted of course. I love this pattern.

I was overjoyed to see it on a cardy.
