As the fall weather approaches, I can’t help but think of my summer days in Switzerland. In addition to the large amount of cows I saw, I had the opportunity to have a good close look at the white Saanen goat.

I just love these two stools, great for everything from piling up the newspaper as you leaf through it on a Saturday to being that extra seat when the loveseat’s taken at the party.

I love when collections from different time periods magically come together. Here you see my Sophie Conran cake plate with my growing collection of milk glass.

The popularity of the Union Jack continues to be strong in home decor. The design has been painted on vintage dressers, printed on pillows and used as curtains.
Here’s a more subtle Jack for all of us who love the look but without all the colour.
