Sourcing vintage and antique jewellery
When it comes to sparkly things, I am a bit of a magpie. I love jewellery, whether it be the costume and paste variety, or the real thing. But one thing unites all my favourite pieces of jewellery – it is vintage and antique pieces that I love the most. I love the idea that something so beautiful may also have a provenance, a story behind it, that it may have been super special to the person who first owned it.

The Essential Oils to have in your home.
One of my fondest memories I have of my mother-in-law Rita is her love of essential oils. She had a home office that always smelled incredible, and this was due to the burning of oils in an oil burner, filling the air with wonderful fragrances. Ylang Ylang, Lavender and Camamile were favourites, and eucalyptus would be used if she was suffering with a cold or flu symptoms.
