Weekend give-away winner: Orchard Jewelry

Thank you so much for entering the Orchard Jewelry give-away to win a necklace from the exciting new 'horsehair* tassel collection' in a colour of your choice! I'm delighted to announce the winner as Ivana Komatina (please send me a mail with your contact details) who wrote:

'I really loved all the jewelry with Madoo dove design, from a pin to the earrings. That short part of the text describing how detailed the wings are made me believe that a person wearing this jewelery would be able to fly as well. And good design is there to lift us up anywhere, anytime'.

I couldn't agree more. And the good news is, all of you can feel 'lifted' by the news that Orchard Jewelry are offering all readers 10% off any item in the shop until 1st June, 2016 (simply use code MSH01 at checkout). Yay! Time to treat a friend, loved one or yourself (hey, why not?!) to a new pendant, earrings, bangles or bracelet?  I especially love the acorns with cross-hatched caps, the intricacies of the cicada wing, and delicate curled string beans. Visit the shop here.

This give-away is now closed.

A magical artist's home full of the joys of spring!

Hello April! How wonderful to see you! It would be rude not to celebrate with an absolutely stunning artist's home that's full of the joys of spring! The house, featured on JJ Locations,  has been decorated throughout with accents of green - whether in the form of lush plants, furniture, textiles or accessories. Combine this with the fabulous architecture, light flooding through the windows, mix of designer and vintage finds and art for a truly magical oasis in the heart of Camberwell, South London. Enjoy!

JJ Locations - shared with kind permission. Initially found via Design Attractor with thanks.

Beautiful, don't you think?! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Get the look: Dining area:  Tulip table,  Eames chairs, source rattan chairs here and spray paint in shades of green.  Bedroom: Tom Dixon beat light, bertoia chair, rustic stool as a bedside table. Landing: This industrial pendant is similar, Beni Ourain rugs.

If you haven't discovered JJ locations before I can recommend pouring yourself a coffee and taking a look around their website this weekend.  Based in Shoreditch, the agency represents a select portfolio of professional photographic and film locations across London, the UK and abroad. See more pictures of this lovely home here.


Other homes with a splash of spring green include this Gothenburg home, and a Skåne home with a vintage touch.

How to style a credenza.

What a lovely kitchen?!  I've got my eye on these wonderful industrial bar stools similar to the one seen.

I love this funky Finnish children's bedroom inspiration.

My latest Tumblr find.

If you do one thing this weekend - bring in some pretty cherry blossom to divide between vases.

Books stored with their pages facing outwards look lovely but aren't entirely practical. And then someone told me on instagram that this is exactly what they used to do in the national library to preserve the jackets. Could this be the excuse I needed?! Loving the 'casual pile' too!

I was sad to hear the news of architect Dame Zaha Hadid, the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize (2004). Here are the 10 magnificent 'curvy' buildings she will be remembered for.

And finally....the night and morning routines of successful women including Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Anna Wintour- and guess what? It doesn't say that much about getting up early (I read about an entrepreneur who gets up at 3am everyday - I mean, really?!).

So that's it from me. Have a wonderful, *sunny* and relaxing weekend! 

PS Oh and I'm holding a fab give-away this weekend so make sure you pop by to enter!
