More images of my mother’s beautiful home… they couldn’t believe their eyes when we turned up to move her in - the handyman had to keep getting more nails for all the pictures & crumb trays!

Even her bathroom has been sprinkled with antique

Even her bathroom has been sprinkled with antique magic… This is (part of) her collection of antique crumb trays - the urn in the centre houses a spare loo roll - how stylish?!

This image perfectly shows why I am obsessed with putting together groups of items to use as display - they look so incredibly beautiful don’t they? I have lots of this sort of collection waiting in the wings to share with you once life returns to normal - I have been slowly gathering them for years & some are almost ready to go so if you are looking to fill a wall space with something unusual & decorative stay tuned…

From the moment you open her door you know it’s

From the moment you open her door you know it’s not your average room… The very first thing you see is just part of her incredible Victorian toast rack collection. The crème de la crème of 300 or so which have been gradually collected over the last 50 years. Displayed on bespoke shelves with a deep red background they are without doubt where my collecting bug & passion for the art of display came from. I am who I am because of this heritage & I can’t thank her enough for it.

It is incredibly hard to pick just one but the first one I would rescue in a fire would have to be the scissors. There are just so many beautiful & unusual ones from the urns, basket of fruit, crossed keys, rifles, anchors, fans & butterflies but the scissors with its cut ribbon as a handle is my absolute favourite. The imagination & creativity that went into these never ceases to amaze me.

This is where I am spending all my time at the moment so I thought I would share it with you. My mothers room in her care home is literally stuffed full with antiques covering every surface & art filling all wall space. It isn’t hard to see where my love & passion for antiques comes from…

Celebrating our twin mothers 80th birthday this we

Celebrating our twin mothers 80th birthday this weekend @laurastoddartillustrator and I joined forces decorating the table & a jolly good time was had by all! It was such a happy day 🩷💚

My darling mother has defied the odds & made it to

My darling mother has defied the odds & made it to 80. Not only that she has done it giggling & laughing all the way with metallic gold nails! Her body is failing her rapidly but her brain is as sharp & shiny as her nails & we had the happiest of days celebrating with her twin sister Laini (who had silver nails!) & wonderful family friends - I left them partying away with the rosé flowing. The way she is dealing with this cruelest of diseases is a constant source of amazement & awe to us all. She is the reason I have been so silent on insta recently, I am spending as much time as I can with her whilst she can still talk & more importantly laugh which we do, a lot! It is a time I am cherishing & will never regret. I don’t think the care home have ever had a resident quite like her & as you can see in the last photo they all clearly adore her. Well done Ma - you made it! 🥂

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I have been asked by House & Garden to take part in the Chelsea Barracks Spring Fair which runs alongside the RHS Chelsea Flower Show from Wednesday 24th to Saturday 27th May.

I will be setting up shop in one of these pretty green sheds set within the grounds of the Chelsea Barracks development which is right opposite the entrance to the Flower Show so have been buying vases galore & lots of other treasure in preparation & can’t wait to share it all with you.

House & Garden have also organised a series of lectures taking place throughout the 4 days (details to be announced) & there is a fabulous new restaurant designed by Ben Pentreath called The Campaner which will be opening in time for the Fair so there are LOTS of reasons to pay a visit & it’s fair to say I’m getting rather excited about it!!

Earlier this week the Fair was officially launched with an ‘influencers’ day where guests were shown a sneak preview of what to expect from all the shed holders as well as a wonderful floral demonstration by the fabulous @nikkitibbleswildatheart & @minnowandwolf and lampshade workshop by @bellhutley

Huge enormous thanks to the gorgeous @noni.ware @houseandgardenuk & @chelseabarracks for asking me to take part in this very exciting event & for organising such a wonderful day on Tuesday - roll on May!

A final wreath to bring in 2023 showcasing Mother Nature at her very best during the recent cold snap… This is a vintage wreath from my personal collection which was hanging outside the kitchen door before the weather suddenly turned. If only it could have stayed like this forever… I took lots of photos so swipe to see the close ups… Enjoy the visual treat & may I wish you all a healthy & happy 2023

More Christmas details… 🎄🎄🎄

I’ve wanted to wrap the pillars in lights for years & this year I finally did it to make it extra special for my mother - there are 2000 led’s on each pillar⚡️Swipe to see more of my vintage tree decorations - they are all made of glass, Eastern European, mostly from Ukraine (I have been buying them from the same dealers for years & currently have more on their way even in this terrible time of war) & date to c.1950. I absolutely adore them & confess to be completely addicted to collecting them. The miniature ones on the vintage clear plastic tree on the dining table are new for this year & are giving me MUCH pleasure - enjoy!

“Ready to Party!” was my mothers response when

“Ready to Party!” was my mothers response when asked how she was when she arrived on Christmas Day! Her attitude & sense of humour whilst dealing with the bleakest of rare conditions is an utter marvel - she has CBD (Corticobasal Degeneration) which is similar to MND (Motor Neurones Disease) but much rarer. Because of her wheelchair she couldn’t come upstairs to the sitting room where the tree is so I went to town with decorations in the kitchen and dining room to make up for it. To have her at home with us made for the happiest of days filled with so much love & laughter - it really was a very precious time indeed. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas & are enjoying this down time period betwixt… xx ❤️💗❤️💗❤️

🎄Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!🎄 S

🎄Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!🎄 SWIPE with sound ON to enjoy a bit of Michael Buble & see Purdey enjoying her favourite watering hole which won’t be so easy to get to once the 🎁 are added…🎄
