Colour Pop

Since it's been raining and a bit grey this week, I picked up these beautiful coral pink flowers to brighten up the living room. Sometimes all you need to put you in a good mood and lift your spirits is a small blast of amazing colour, whether it's in the form of a few simple flowers, a new pair of bright shoes or freshly painted nails in a pretty shade.

Dinner, Drinks & Drinks

With Husband & I's impending move to the southern hemisphere, it occurred to us that we'll be unable to take our rather well stocked bar that we have accumulated over the years with us. So with the slightly nauseating thought of having to get through over 20 bottles of alcohol on our own we had a few people over on the weekend to help us make a dent in it. Needless to say Husband took the chance to slow roast as much meat as possible and I forced copious amounts of cheese and cake onto our poor unsuspecting guests. Topped off with a magnum of champagne, ginger ale cocktails and shameful Glee karaoke, there were a few sore heads in the morning. I'm definitely going to miss entertaining in our cosy little flat!

Tea For Two

On a recent trip to Copenhagen to visit family, I came across a very cute idea of spring flowers sprouting out of dainty teacups. These were part of a display in Royal Copenhagen department store to celebrate easter and looked so pretty and quirky all sprawled out across a dining table set with fancy dinnerware and huge tree branches with random decorations.
I attempted to try something similar for our table at home. I bought a couple of hyacinth bulbs for £1 at the flower market and re potted them in two tiny teacups from a home ware store. Although my cups and saucers are far less fancy than the ones in Copenhagen, I think they are quite a cute addition to our house.
