Jan Constantine

Cream diamante collection by Jan Constatine

Grey pop art collection by Jan Constatine

I am loving the new take on the traditional British interiors, from Union Jack cushions to stag heads. On my hunt for a Union Jack cushion I came across Jan Constatine. I had seen the last image numerous times but did not who the designer was. Well, she is the lovely Jan, and I think my favourite is the pretty map cushion in pale blue.

From the website:
Jan Constantine designs include original hand embroidered textiles inspired from nature and our world. Whether it is the bold Union Jack, the true Love & Peace or the vintage Country Garden and Botanical, her designs are unique. Each of the Jan Constantine Collections has various hand embroidered products ranging from home accessories, cushions, throws and lavender bags to scarves, handbags and nightwear - something to suit everyone.

Hooray the weekend is here and as it is October it is appropriate to post pink this Friday in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Happy Pink Weekend to you all.

~ Nappy Bags ~

I am officially obsessed with nappy bags and here is my latest must have bag!!

It is a beauty isn't it - all brightly coloured for spring/summer.

Admittedly I do have a number of nappy bags but what is one more - my clothing is a little restricted to easy access tops for breast feeding so I will have to get my fashion fix with a new bag!!

Clarissa Hulse is a British textile designer with a strong emphasis on botanical images and colour. The hallmarks of Clarissa’s work are her use of colour and natural imagery in conjunction with beautiful fabrics.

Products include wallpapers, fabric, cushions, upholstered vintage chairs and lampshades.

I love all the shine and shimmer in her delicate work and want to inject some glamor into my living room with one of her Rose Briar silk cushions from the Aquamarine collection.

Have a sweet day!

To my sweet little one

Happy 2nd Birthday!

~ Oh to be able to wiggle my nose ~

Well the boxes are out in preparation for our final move!

It is still 3 weeks until we get to move in to our new house but time is precious so better get a few things under way in the packing department.

One day I would love to be able to wiggle my nose like Samantha on Bewitched and swoosh everything was moved into its correct spot in the new house!! Ahh to dream! Actually it would really nice to be able to have a number of things done by wiggling my nose!
