Flower Power Tea Towels

ELLE Deco had a little end-of-year sample sale last week and I picked up TONS of great things for hardly anything! A few cookbooks, some gifts, a new fancy pillow... eventually I will post about all my great finds. I love this pink flower power tea towel I got so much, it was sitting on the sale table for so long I couldn't believe no one had picked it up! I guess you could say it was meant to be, and I only had to pay £1 for it!!

Festive Fun

On Wednesday night, my friend Hayley and I headed over to the Harrod's champagne bar to indulge in some festive fun. Psychologies Magazine organised a small event where guests were treated to a wreath making tutorial by one of London's leading florists before making their own to take home. Neither of us had ever made a holiday wreath before - but it was such a blast and we sure didn't mind sipping on glasses of veuve and snacking on canapes while creating our holiday works of art! I have a feeling wreath-making parties are going to be all the rage next year!

Flower Power

I absolutely love having flowers in my house, but when my bank account is running low (not that its ever on a high) sadly they are the first to be knocked off of my mental 'necessary purchases' list. However, I have found ways to fulfil my love of flowers in the home and not break the bank. Instead of visiting a wonderful florist, I simply wander over to my local Tesco and pick up a small bouquet for under a fiver! This autumn-coloured arrangement really perked up my kitchen, and two weeks later they're still holding up - now that's value! Sometimes it really surprises me how much joy I can get from spending £3. Ta! x
