A Passion for Blue

Several months ago I posted about "A passion for Blue & White" by Carolyne Roehm and now I eagerly await my copy that I ordered months ago. I have always loved blue and White and my passion for collecting ginger jars has never wavered, I love filling them with bunches of beautiful flowers, clustering them in a group to make a stunning table centrepiece. As soon as my copy arrives I'll post more images of Carolyne's inspiration book.

Happy Week-end

Wishing you all a very Happy week-end x

Xmas at lily-g

Another late night, I felt like Santa working in the very early hours to unpack I think hundreds of decorations ready for Xmas. Our store looks amazing and I'm starting to get excited about my most favorite time of year Christmas!

True Style.....

I'm so totally inspired by Brooke and her husband Steve, they are both amazing and there renovation too beautiful for words I just love it! Please go and visit her Blog to see the before and after shots and you will be equally impressed, they certainly have a fan in me!!!!

A great post by Anna

One of my Favorite blogs is Villa Anna so when I stopped by her blog I just fell in love with her recent post. Brooke and Steve Giannetti have renovated there home beautifully and it will definately go down as one of my favourites. So please go visit Anna and then go visit Brooke's blog (velvet and linen) and be totally impressed!

Hermes

On my recent travels to France I was on the constant look out for a vintage Kelly Bag by Hermes, rummaging through the vintage stores and markets there was not a bargain Kelly bag to be seen, well not in my budget anyway. On a recent buying trip how-ever I found these beautiful vintage leather bags inspired by the Hermes Bag, they are quiet large and amazing quality perfect for that week-end away. RL is by far one of my favourite stores and I love seeing the masculine vintage tan arm chairs the old LV trunks with clusters of old books and gorgeous silver pieces, the palm in the corner, the sisal rug etc...just love it!

RL Trunk

I love the mystery of the Trunk, found in Grandma's attic filled with treasures we now love and adore, Vintage pieces and special memories. I have just ordered these fabulous trunks for our store, made of linen and vintage leather, very Ralph Lauren!
