Utility Chic

Nowhere inspires me to blog quite as much as Brighton and my last trip was no exception when I stumbled upon Utility.

This treasure trove of WW2 era functional kitchen/dinning ware is such a treat. Think Fishes Eddy NYC meets traditional hardware store. The owners are so lovely and friendly, and are clearly passionate about what they do and the little world they are aiming to create

I wanted to buy everything in sight but unfortunately would not have been able to carry everything back to London so I have wisely decided to wait for the launch of their online shop(which I am eagerly anticipating), so I can go crazy!

My favorites were the selection of Enamel dishes & mugs and amzing Tea towls.

Pillow talk, pillow talk

I forgot how much I love this film! I adore Doris Day's style.

A little bird house in your soul...

I really love antique bird cages at the moment. I especially like the idea of putting jewelly in them or plants. I'd like to try and find a wooden one painted white. They are just so ornate.

Pretty Union Jacks

Lately I'm obsessed with vinatge and floral union jacks. Thinking of making some cushions or throws in the flag pattern and mixing up with some pretty fabrics like these pictures above.
