Home Sweet Home....

I really couldn't tell you what I have actually done this week if I tried!!.....I have just kind of slumped. I am so tired after the expo and all the traveling that I have just pottered around the house this week and enjoyed being home. I still haven't properly unpacked {but will do right after this as I am so ashamed of myself} and am still catching up with all my emails, post, things to follow up from the show etc etc...... I am just really enjoying being home, and being able to relax - so, in a way I have just written off this week {I had all sorts of good intentions of getting straight back to work on Tuesday morning..?} in a haze of pottering, Tennis , cooking nice things and relaxing.....phew ;)

Pictured above is a beautiful scarf by Agnes & Hoss...I got the green Eucalyptus pattern and also a Starlings patterned one in cream and orange as well! I can't tell you how lovely they are in person...and I have so enjoyed wearing them {although because of the heat, I have not worn them as much as I would have liked...yet!}. The green Eucalyptus print is just the most perfect ochre-y green...that wonderful tone that looks so chic with black, and the cream Starlings look fab in a big pussy bow with a pair of natural linen cullottes I have with a cool box pleat though the front....very retro secretary! Thank you Stephanie....I am truly enamored with them.

This week {being home and all} I have been thinking a lot about Domesticity....and how it has become such a wonderful area of focus for cool design. {This is all going through my head as I stood in the kitchen cooking listening to the leaves rustling in the tree in the garden - a true plus point for not having double glazing - and as the cool summer rain poured down on those leaves this evening, freshening everything up and making the outdoors smell delicious!} I am a real sucker for kitchen things...and have collected LOTS over the years {which, considering I still live at home, and don't have to, just want to..is quite a feat!} and am especially partial to a nice tea-towel {quite the domestic goddess..ahem}!! So, I have had a little round up of some of my favourites.....!

These printed tea towels from Joanna Kinnersly- Taylor are divine, and I particularly like them as I collect vintage glass jelly moulds!! I also love these classic {and oh so chic in a simple way} waffle tea towels from Divertimenti.....and last but not least I love these quirky graphic print set from Mibo that I found via Design*Sponge. I think another collection may be in the making....!???

I hope everyone has had a good week so far...over the weekend I have plans to catch up with a friend over lunch or dinner on Saturday, and on Sunday I will be doing some organising in my studio and watching the Wimbledon Men's Final.....go Federer!! :)

Have a lovely weekend all...hugs, xox
