thrifty weekend

I hope everyone had a lovely bank holiday... I spent mine eating, sleeping and thrifting! I popped over to Newarke Antique Fair and picked up this stunning picture of the ballerina, the artist has capured her fluffy tutu wonderfully.

pup update-Lola

She's growing at an extraordinary rate and is learning a trick a week, so far sitting and lying down on command I seem to have a very bright pup.  We're off to puppy party at the vets tonight, a social event.  I can't wait to see how she behaves..

last night a friend of ours brought his fully grown pup round Beryl, certainly 3 times the size of her, she's known as a dominant dog but Lola was bossing her all the time, she has a wonderful character and I love her to bits!

Somerset by Alice Temperley

Alice Temperley the British designer who flies the flag of 'Cool Britania' style is launching a collection with John Lewis under the name of Somerset. Named after her love for her home county it features British heritage style at affordable high street prices.  The launch film is pretty cool, shot by the famous Tom Craig starting the model Lily Donaldson and her sister Aureila.

A new member of the household- Lola Coco Fuzzy Butt

So after a lot of deliberation we decided upon getting another member of the household, the fuzzy variety. Meet Lola Coco Fuzzy Butt, an 8 week old Airedale Terrier. We have had her for 4 days now and she is so very clever, I think we are going to have our hands full with her as she is very nosey and confident!

burgers, blue eyes and bedding

Home made lamb and halumi burger with chestnut mushrooms, to balance out with a whole meal bun and salad, this was so big I had to pin it together with a cocktail stick! Went down a treat though

 

Look at this little tinker, meet Rafferty Xander, my gorgeous blue eyed nephew. We went up for a visit last weekend and he took his first crawl- amazing!

 

 

 While we were there we popped to Rampsbeck Country House Hotel which overlooks lake Ullswater

 

 Amazing view from where we were having afternoon tea

 

 The view from inside wasn't too bad either...

 

 

 

and so to bed, fresh bedding, fresh jim jams and freshly showered, pefect!

Happy Monday!-here's to a life changing week

I missed out on Happy Friday this week, ooopsie sorry folks. It's been a manic weekend we are putting an offer in on our dream house (first time buyer wooo!) and there's been lots to sort out. My hearts a flutter and my belly feels like its a swirl of glitter and sequins (kind of like a snow globe you know?!). So normal posting will resume shortly, and lots of housie inspiration.

Here's a cute pic to wet your whistle! Have a great week!
