I want ... #6


It's been a while. The "I want..." series continues. Always stripped down, always about the basics. Happy to settle down here for life...

Plants Taste Better


I'm always looking forward to the publication of one book or another. This is the one that’s currently at the top of my list (due out in March)…

Christmas 2017


My annual excursion to blogger … I am clearly, judging by this picture, as old-fashioned as blogger is for bloggers. The ‘granny gifts’ of soap, socks, and books made Christmas 2017 for me, and have sustained me through this dreary (weather-wise at least) January. Good smells and beautifully crafted (deadstock) socks have done a much-needed job in starting the day off on a fine note. In terms of annual regularity there is stock from the much-loved NHR, top-ups of organic perfume, the addition of the final professional Microplane to my collection, and the welcoming of a few more mainly veggie cookbooks, yoga and gardening books to my ever-growing stash. Vintage is in the mix re. a pocketed gymslip dress and the aforementioned socks. A shout-out to the self-care series by Golubka for beauty recommendations in the form of OcĂ©opin’s maritime pine seeds (you can spy the bottle top-right, but, as ever, I am intrigued to rustle up something similar myself from English offerings). Attempts at making myself presentable include brushes by Neal’s Yard and Rodin (both animal friendly) and a (much needed) dark circle concealer by Couleur Caramel. As ever, my make-up routine comprises using the teeniest amount of product possible, deciding I prefer the au naturel look, and taking the majority of the teeniest product off again…

I want ... #5/Lisette

It’s been a long time, blog.

My ‘what I want #’ listings and Lisette postings combine. 100% English Shepley wool sweater, with the spinning manufacturer producing this yarn celebrating more than 200 years in business…
