Week 3 of the Ashley and laurie linkup…so how was your week? Mine looked a little like this
Hello week 3
My week:
The good:
1. I spent a super Sunday in Oxford. with creative friends, playing with flowers at Bicycle Blooms Oxford flower shop
2. My son turned 16 ouch (I feel so Old!)
3. I visited London as part of ‘London Design festival 2017’ and had breakfast at Skandium the new store in south kensington and got to see some beautiful string shelving units, styled by some interior bloggers. This one below was my favourite.
I also visited the Graham and Brown house of wallpaper in Soho and learnt about the design process and historyof their beautiful wallpaper. The pic below shows a mood board from their wallpaper of the year, it’s called Pierre…
The bad:
I had flu and it left me with a chesty cough and no energy at all.
The Ugly:
I saw a bad car accident last week and it reminded me of how precious life is and to always say goodbye to your loved ones (even if you are annoyed with them) because you never know if you may see them again. My Mum taught me this. My Dad died in a car accident when I was 2.
“…it reminded me of how precious life is and to always say goodbye to your loved ones…”
So enough of my week how was yours?
My Fave Featured posts from week 2:
I loved Fair Meadow Place’s crafty idea for velvet pumpkins and Alecia’s post here from styling the pearls:

Oh Skandium! I love that. Of course, I may be a bit biased when it comes to anything Nordic… still, I love the black and white Marimekko plates.

Yes I can see that the best design in my opinion is usually anything nordic!

My youngest turned 17 this week also. I’m so sorry you had the yucky flu and isn’t it amazing how triggers can bring deep feelings to the surface. I’m so sorry you went through the loss of your father at such a young age.

Yes things that trigger memories are fascinating the smell of old books always takes me back to my childhood too!
