Simple Life, Busy Textiles?...

Blackwell (smart)...

I went to the wonderful Blackwell House in Windermere last weekend....designed by M. H. Baillie Scott between 1898 and 1900 it's a great example of Art and Crafts in the area. It's such a shame they don't allow photography in there, these pictures are just the ones all over google images, sorry they're not more inspirational and detailed.....it was the woodwork and pottery that really got me going......maybe I should try and make friends with them!!!!

The shop there is excellent too, will blog about my purchases later.

Fanny's Stylish Fur Balls...

Cats and dogs in ribbons and necklaces, what's not to love. I thought I would add in the lovely fluffy ball at the end...he is sad that his neck is bear! But don't fret dear thing.....these stylish beasts are sporting a range of goodies made by the all round creative that is Fanny Bostrom and they're available to purchase at Anthropologie. (Although you might have the cross the Atlantic as i couldn't see them on their .eu site.
