A New Sort of Cable Tidy

Do cables drive you mad, they do me and I imagine they must do the same thing to Maisie Maud Broadhead as she came up with the idea of making art from them. This makes me want to extend every cable in the house and I never thought I would ever say that. But if you can actually stand cables then you could always give your laptop a festive look by plugging in those lights (bottom picture) into your USB port, from Cox and Cox.

Love This Look

From Vivienne Westwood's Anglomania range at Urban Oufitters. This is my kind of style, so comfortable.

Susannah Hunter - The Queen of Leather

I think I would have to take a Valium before entering one of Susannah Hunter's London shops. Soft leather, velvet linings, silver clips all go to make up her bags and on top of that she is producing furniture adorned with those fabulous leather flowers. I think I need to lie down.

New York New York

So good Frederic Lebain photographed it twice. He did it once, produced life size prints then went back and placed them over the original place. Why you may ask, well why not?

My Sort Of Interior Designer

If I were in need of an interior designer this is the person I would make a bee line for.

Richard Goullet creates dreamy interiors that look as though they have been put together over a long period of time.

Beautiful details abound.

Creative corners catch your eye.

He isn't afraid of bold colours and

big statements but

he is equally as good at soft, cool palettes.

All in all my sort of interior designer.

Hotels For Birds

Claridges
Just when you think you've seen it all you discover you haven't. Take a look at these Bird Hotels from Sparrow and Finch.
If I bought one of these I wonder if the House Martins and Swallows that visit in the Spring would use it instead of trying to build nests in my window recesses and crapping all over my windows.

Vintage Patisserie - Hold Your Own 1920s Tea Party

Last year I was invited and attended a party in London for TShirt Patisserie an innovative company indeed. Yesterday I discovered that Angel Adoree has now opened Vintage Patisserie a company that hosts 1920s Tea Parties in your home or at a venue. This girl just blows me away.

Only she could find glasses such as these,

create tea parties such as this,

bake cupcakes as stunning as these,

provide her guests with 1920s accessories to wear at the party,

sell vintage china online and

amazing accessories as well. She exhausts me just thinking about how inventive she is.

The Alabaster House

Let me introduce you to The Alabaster House in North London.
My cottage is called The Cottage, not very imaginative but that's what it has been called for hundreds of years so I aint going to change it. Not only has this house got a great name but it lives up to it.
