In my search for ideas for Halloween decorations this year I found the above which I love for their simplicity and stylishness. I will be starting my Halloween craft posts on Monday, but don't forget to check out a Halloween-themed Flickr faves tomorrow!

Halloween is upon us!

I just love Holidays! I adore decorating for the Holidays, and Halloween is no exception. Halloween will be here in just over two weeks and I have spent the past month prepping for it.

I have joined the Halloween Party over at A Fanciful Twist on the 17th October. So, from now until the end of the month all, and I mean all, of my posts will be about Halloween. I am hoping to create a candy table, Halloween tree and so much more! There will be hand made candy recipes, cupcakes and crafts here along with links as to where to buy everything! I hope you enjoyed the little tasters!

Reiss Autumn/Winter 2009

I love Reiss for their delicate colour palettes and the attention to detail. On my wish list is the studded trilby and the frill cardigan in pearl blush.

From the website:
The Reiss philosophy centres on creating and producing directional, design-led menswear, womenswear and accessories. Reiss prides itself with an uncompromising commitment to delivering innovative, original products combining exceptional design, quality and value.

Decorative Country Living

I have been searching the internet recently for some new additions to my home and came across Decorative Country Living. I love their pretty vintage finds, especially the large mirror.

From the website:
Decorative Country Living is based in a converted 19th Century chapel in the picturesque village of Caythorpe, in Lincolnshire. We sell a harmonious mix of antique, vintage and new items for the home and garden, displayed in a way that is both inviting and inspirational.

Warming Pink

This week on Flickr Faves Sunday, I bring you a warm pink palette, with these gorgeous pics. Check back soon for some more of the most inspirational photographers on Flickr.

Have a great day!

Jan Constantine

I am loving the new take on the traditional British interiors, from Union Jack cushions to stag heads. On my hunt for a Union Jack cushion I came across Jan Constatine. I had seen the last image numerous times but did not who the designer was. Well, she is the lovely Jan, and I think my favourite is the pretty map cushion in pale blue.

From the website:
Jan Constantine designs include original hand embroidered textiles inspired from nature and our world. Whether it is the bold Union Jack, the true Love & Peace or the vintage Country Garden and Botanical, her designs are unique. Each of the Jan Constantine Collections has various hand embroidered products ranging from home accessories, cushions, throws and lavender bags to scarves, handbags and nightwear - something to suit everyone.
