Lock Down Spring Decor || From my home to yours

Embracing the season and a new way of living. 

I doubt we'll ever be forced to spend weeks on end in our homes again in this lifetime so it's time to make the absolute most of this new slow living style.

Fill your days with the simplicity of reading, spring cleaning, watching a box set (or 10) and spending precious time with your loved ones if you're lucky enough to be isolated with them. 

I am fortunate enough to work in a self isolated studio and although the world is upside down, my online store continues as normal. Each parcel packaged to bring a little sunshine to the recipients day. 

Birthdays, anniversaries, easter and special celebrations have not been cancelled; the amount of heart warming gift notes that are being added to orders and sent direct to the receiver is inspiring in these uncertain times.

From my home to yours, stay safe and stay home

Heading for a Stay-cation rather then a vacay this year? || Where to stay and what to do in Windermere

Suddenly find yourself heading more towards a stay-cation rather then a vacay abroad this year? 

Never has the time felt better to champion a few local business that I regularly visit when staying in Windermere. 

A hot tub on your rooms balcony, overlooking the beautiful English countryside. Do i need to say much else? We've stayed at The Burnside quite a few times and keep going back. It's always a wonderful experience and they embrace old school qualities like a very helpful (and rather cheeky!) concierge gentleman who dishes out hot cookies upon arrival. Literally brownie points!

They have a huge spa and pool facility on site along with beauty treatments and a cinema room. You can grab a glass of prosecco from the little pool side bar while lounging around the pool and enjoy saunas, steam rooms and a plunge pool that I've never even dipped a toe in . . . too busy drinking prosecco!
The bedrooms are all gorgeous, very grande 'country living' style, many chandeliers knocking about and massive armchairs face the un-spoilt countryside and lake views.

Things to do in Windermere: Go on a boat tour of course!

The Fizzy Tarte: 

A patisserie and a Champagne bar, what a winning combination!

Afternoon tea at Tiffany's . . . . we couldn't get the time slot for breakfast!

There was absolutely no messing about when we heard The Tiffany Blue Box cafe would be coming to Harrods. Me and Kate spent a good few weeks, every Friday (and midnight on Thursday night just in case) trying to book a table. 

They release tables for 2 weeks ahead every 'Friday morning' which we interpreted as 'from midnight onward'.  It was actually more like Friday at 10.32am-ish when the tables were released. I was refreshing my screen every 3 seconds in Manchester and Kate was trying to organise the situation from London. After 3 hours of this, we thought we'd buggered it up but then eventually a miracle happened.

Kate stepped off the tube back into the land of wifi to a mental whatsapp from me in shouty capitals saying 'WE'RE IN'!

Are you and your friends like this? For a little tiny while do you forget about life's actual real problems and step into a world of blissful first world ones like getting a table at Tiffany's in Harrods?!  

Well moving on . . . here are the pics!
