Perfection ...

Check out the latest fabulousness by Lyn Gardener (my decorating idol/icon/obsession), The White House in Daylesford, over at Kim's place ...

Surprise ...

Have some very exciting news that I couldn't share with you all before ....

Am currently in France for a very impulsive and surprise trip to see my sister Luce!

My parents had a trip booked for ages, so I decided to tag along (and escape the swine flu madness at outbreak headquarters downstairs) for the week in the Loire valley in a cottage on the Loire river, a few days in Paris either end, and another few days in London with Luce before coming home - her face when I met her at the Eurostar was priceless.... she had no idea!

There will be masses of photos to come dear friends ... get ready for castles and gardens overload, but most importantly shots of the fabulous puces de marchet (flea markets) that I am truly drooling over ....

Be back in about a fortnight dear friends ... stay tuned xx

PS I took this photo trying to capture the scale of this amazing chandelier ... it was truly massive ... swoon!
