Embracing the spirit of winter

Instead of mourning the end of long sunny days spent outside, I turn my attention to best this season has to offer.

Some furry fashion never goes astray

Snug throw rugs, hand knitted hot water bottle covers, candles and hot chocolate.

Finding that perfect spot to snuggle up with a good book

Or venturing outdoors in comfort.

When all else fails, Audrey is always there to inspire.

Enjoy your first day of winter!

Plaids

There is nothing like a good plaid to create a cosy, winter, rustic interior.

Throw a plaid blanket over an old coffee table and pick some branches from your garden to create a look like this.

My favourite things

One of the things I love about living in a cold climate at this time of the year is that we can enjoy a big roaring fire and all the cosy comforts that go with it. I hope you have enjoyed a lovely weekend, SallyAnn x

Winter comes early

Weather like we are having makes me want to pull out all my winter woollies and bunker down.



We woke to a dusting of snow over the weekend and while it looks pretty is not the kind of weather one wants to be out in.

Throw on a rug

A lovely room combining a mix of textures and geometrics, even on the carpet. The neutral palette keeps the room sophisticated and elegant. Throws can be placed conveniently over arms of chairs or on the end of day beds for easy reach. Just seeing them in a room can immediately relax the look.

Beautiful Bemboka angora throws, so warm and snug. The ultimate in luxurious comfort. Available at Cottle House

I just can't seem to warm up today, so thought I'd post some lovely snuggly throws.
