a small but lovely 
Scandinavian Apartment
...it might be small but the light is abundant and hey there's a whole wall with room for lots of books and what could be better than that?
...I love the floral bomb wall paper in the kitchen too!
Delightful!

(Fresh) Chamomile
...Im not a huge fan of Chamomile tea...I think it goes back to my childhood when it was always offered if I had an upset tummy...
My parents and grandparents always drank fresh herbal teas - me? Im not really a fan, I prefer my black tea (bag) with a splash of milk.

I do however think fresh Chamomile flowers are so pretty - how lovely do they look all  bunched up together - fresh indeed!

Vintage Style Icon: hey there Bridget!
I sometimes wonder who got the paparazzi going in the 50s and 60s...I know Marilyn Monroe would have caused a stir with her every move but on the other side of the pond, I'm sure it was Bridget - the camera loves her!!!...and I think she enjoyed getting her picture taken!

Her iconic look from the 60's always feels fresh...I love pinning images of the French beauty...  * images via my  'vintage life' Pinterest board

  

Inspiration Now - Tiles
Im loving the blue and white patterned tiles in this splash back!  It reminds me of the vintage Portuguese tiles with their intricate prints & patterns...
....there's so many tiles in all colours and styles to suit any look but these make me feel like Im in the heart of a Mediterranean village!

Early Spring
Lilac beauty....

The transition to a new season always seems so slow so this trip to California was perfect timing.
We've headed straight into Spring, one of my favorite seasons.
Its like a
re-awakening!
....people just want to get out of hibernation and into the fresh air.

Beautiful fresh flowers in pretty shades always makes it feel like Spring has finally arrived!

I've scheduled some blog posts to pop up during my time away but truth be told, I've had a crazy busy week leading up to our trip and ran out of time, so its not very consistent...
