Spotted! Hedgehog Cushion! SWeeeeT!
Add a touch of quirky Autumn flavour to your living room or conservatory with this fabulous cushion from John Lewis. I just love it, it makes me smile every time my eye falls on it!

VQ Christie – LOVE this clever & pretty little digital retro radio
Ages ago, my beloved leather-clad vintage-look kitchen radio slowly died a crackling, buzzing, untune-able death. When I looked for a replacement, I had just two criteria – that it would look stylish and lovely in my kitchen (basically it needed to be pretty enough to raise a smile every time I turned it on), and that it would have an iPod dock; a lot of my audio books are on my iPod, and they’re my listening of choice for...

Environmentally-friendly home makeovers
With all of the scary newspaper headlines illustrating just how much trouble our planet is in with pollution and global warming, I’ve been trying to implement a few new methods in my daily routine so as to minimise my global footprint. From taking a walk to the shops rather than driving, to simply using recycling bins (or trash receptacles as my Americanised teens hilariously insist on calling them… *sigh*), there’s...
