"Hello neighbour...It's true - we've made our home right around the corner, up around the bend. Be sure to drop by whenever you're in need of a cupful of wonderful"

Well, Anthropologie did not disappoint! It was three floors of wonderful; from the eclectic use of material in the magpie chandeliers to the broken china skirt that took them a day to put together. They had furniture from Clark & Reilly, whose ethos encourages a movement away from disposable furniture - Old fashioned methods and materials make their items live longer than their purchaser!

There was a polar bear downstairs, marine animals hanging from the ceiling, big paper flowers, a plant wall, and large china sheep. There were the old Anthropologie favorites: latte bowls in an array of colours, pretty appliqued tea towels, frilled shower curtains, the prettiest of frill cashmere scarves, an adorable red felt hat and the hard back "classic story" books that had the nicest canvas covers.

My favorite item was the china tea and cakes plate candle holder, which has got me thinking of ideas for my dining table.

Have a sweet day!

Yes the picture below is of our lovely toilet in the powder room! Funny first photo to be showing you of our new house but these toilets are proving to be very exciting. To everyones delight they are soft close toilets which means no slamming of the toilet seat or lid - just a gentle push and they glide down slowly and peacefully. When we have a new visitor to the house the first thing the girls say is come and look at our magic toilets ... it is the small things that amuse us the most. I promise to post some more exciting pictures of the house soon - just keep forgetting to get the camera out in the daylight.
