Verdant Day

My garden wants you

This would look perfect in the garden. With me in it. Yes it would. Made by Patricia Urquiola via SeeSaw.

Selby induced jealousy

I find the SELBY almost painful to visit. I covet and coo and drive myself mad with jealousy. Jealousy for rooms and blankets, lights and beds, fridges and the lives of others. But mostly I am jealous of fringes and stripy jumpers and effortless cool.

Hair envy

I love this lady's hair. Even though she has feet like a faun. She comes via Sartorialist. I love the colour and the cut. I love how it's like having masses of hair, but all the while having a short hair cut. When will I be brave enough to go for it? Will I step out of the house on a steamy day and end up with a perfect pom pom of curls and it will be a disaster? Hmmm. Not brave enough. Yet.

navy and baby bunting

I love this look and these colours and the sweet baby bunting. I was reading in Frank Lipman's pretty amazing book SPENT, that bedrooms should be like a cave. Cold and dark and no computers, flashing lights, LCD clocks... for the best nights sleep. I'm trying it. It also suggests having an electronic sundown at 10pm, where you turn off all computers, tv sets and use as little light in the house as possible. It's just so sensible. I am enjoying it so much. 

corners of my life

My new desk. 

the bluest bush in london town

When the light hits the pavement in the mornings, it looks like spilled paint. It's amazing. 

red robin

I love my Donna Wilson cushion. My sweet robin red breast. I got the fox too. For jkh. It's down under now.

sandals

I have these sandals.. just lying waiting near the cupboard.. and today would have been perfect for them.. but.. AM I THE ONLY person in the world that has to break in every pair of shoes I own, slowly but surely? A night here, a half day there... I can never just buy a pair of shoes and just walk in them. This is a boring post. But it's a serious issue for me. I will be overheated in well-worn boots today.

tiny clay houses

So sweet. From another shade of grey.

Um, yum. Sort of.

Amazing scans of sandwiches from the strangely addictive Scanwich. I have never tried Vietnamese rolls. I think I might love them.
