little things


Little things that make our world. Things I want to capture, tuck away and peek at another day....and smile.

Ripening mandarins. We will devour these in the next few weeks,
Hot chocolate * and popcorn inside, pouring rain outside.
A new adventure begins as I start drafting patterns for my little vintage inspired frock shop.
A proud and beautiful cupboard for our little man's room.
Speckled animal biscuits and slow weekends.
Violet blooms for every room of the house.

* We make our hot chocolate with raw cacao powder and honey. It is delicious!

    1. Oh me too! I usually put a big heaped teaspoon of cacao and the same of honey into a saucepan with a little hot water to dissolve. I then add about 500ml of milk (enough for me and the babies with top ups). Yummy!! Hope your week is lovely : x

  15. Hot chocolate with pouring rain outside sounds absolutely devine! It is funny how you can pine for a moment like that. A silly things to wish for really, as you have no way of making it happen!
