make tea, not war

Last weekend I went to a pretty flawless camping trip/ wedding. The weather was great and everything was just lovely. 

On the Friday me, the family and other wedding guests went to a pub (which name has slipped my mind) I thought it would be a typical english pub with lots of wooden beams, and horrible curtains,but it had this insane 60's/70's decor that was a complete dream. 

too true 

My grandma actually has the same plates,
whenever I see them I am struck by how awesome and psychedelic they are 

                       

two examples of awesome wall paper 

Saturday was the actual wedding ceremony , it was held in the walled garden at Hartland Abbey, It was a very beautiful and I almost shed a tear, almost. 

After the ceremony we meet some adorable and friendly donkeys, that just stood there and let me and Emily stroke and pat them.  

The wedding car was beyond cool...

After the ceremony we went to this really pretty farmhouse place that had been decorated with probably about 1000m of bunting (heaven) 

at the start of the weekend all of the guests had to choose a mug, they were all really cool and vintage and it took me a long time to choose one! 

A really pretty outhouse that I think was a therapy room.




The wedding also included- a folk band playing an acoustic set outdoors, some delicious cakes, another really cool band that played a Tina Turner Melody and.... a really cool old guy playing the bagpipes. All in all a very good weakend!


lots of love
Sophie

I need to pull it together

If I could assemble a film about curtains,  I would, it would include people standing in front of curtains and the light shining on their faces and curtains blowing in the wind.  because hell, curtains are damn pretty(and often ignored) . I know that it would not be a particularly interesting production but well..at least it would be aesthetically pleasing. Anyway I know this is a slightly awkward blog post but anyway....curtains. 

these classy ladies know that lace curtains are the way forward.

a little tease.

I have been slaving away, these past few weeks; re-decorating my bedroom.

Here is a little teaser of some fabrics I have used....

I hope when I am finished it will end up, being a oasis of calm and tranquility, that looks ( but not smells ) like a retirement home/french boudoir. 

*extra spoiler*- I have purchased an armchair.

Love Sophie 

home is wherever with you.

so.. Last night me and sinead stayed in a yurt. Staying in what is essentially a elaborate and insulted tent has only one downfall, in winter it is rather cold and I mean two pairs of socks cold. We eat too many doughnuts, too much marshmallow fluff and talked about our weird crushes. 

I was just browsing the internet for cool pictures of yurts
 when I found this beautiful piece of yurt interior design
