10 Things I Learned & Loved This Weekend

1. Organising my stationery shelf into jars and boxes was very therapeutic.
2. This print caught my eye.
3. Love the high gloss tomato red colour of this pendant.
4. Enjoyed using my Cornishware mortar and pestle for the first time on Saturday.
5. Rachie sent me this lovely thank you card following last weekend's dinner party.
6. I had fun baking these heart-shaped jam and coconut cookies on Sunday afternoon.
7. My Bright.Bazaar home needs this anchor tea towel!
8. These votives make me think of eating at cliff-side taverns in Greece - beautiful!
9. The coloured drawers on the Vernay Cabinet add just the right dash of colour.
10. Loved the colours in this throw from Missoni Home.

    The Vernay cabinet is perfection. And love your Rifle stationary set - I just picked up their exclusive Global Greeting set from Anthro.

    Can I also just say how much I love that you post over the weekend? You're certainly more ambitious than I but it pays off because you're the only site I end up visiting on Saturdays and Sundays!

    That Vernay Cabinet is so great. If I could get one in the states, I would buy it now! Don't you love it when you've organized? It feels so good and I always feel like I can take on what's coming next when everything's in its place. Teri

      I just checked the made.com website and they don't ship to the USA at the moment but if you sign up to their newsletter they will let you know when they do! http://www.made.com/faq Hope that helps :)

      p.s. LOVE getting organised!

    I nearly died when Missoni unveiled their collabo with Target, now I'm really digging any and all of their home decor pieces...I can see a fabulous scarf draped as a tablecloth or one of their signature textiles strewn all over my bed! That last piece is a gem...perfect for those who don't wish to commit to too much pattern! Great picks!

    Peace. Love. LOL!

    Nice job organizing your stationery- I wish someone could come and do that for me. Every time I try to organize, I either get distracted and write a letter or I just create a bigger mess. You made those cookies? They are perfection! Please can you share the recipe?
