Christmas Wish List No.8

For a fresh take on the 'welcome' mat, Urban Outfitters have designed this cute heart 'please don't leave' rug. Très cute, non?

Too pretty for folks to wipe their feet on don't you think? This should take pride of place in front of the fire!

It's made from 100% cotton and is only £12.00, bargain!

Christmas Wish List No.7

Yep, I've definitely caught the baking bug! I saw this pretty daisy apron while looking at the latest Lisa Stickley collection and dreamt up a baking-inspired wish list, and here it is.

From top right: Daisy apron, Lisa Stickley; Heart cookie-cutters, Sainsburys; Cake tins, Sainsbury's; Glass storage jars, Kilner; Mason Cash mixing bowl, John Lewis.

Ah, just think of all the yummy things I could make with these, coupled with the French baking book from Anthropologie!

Christmas Wish List No.6

It's always nice to have something bright and cheery on your wall throughout the year so that's why I'm lusting after this pretty botanical calendar from Rifle Paper Co.

It's bright and fun and the colours are just so pretty. There is also a fruit one too, though a floral print does it for me every time.

Rifle Paper Co. are a Florida-based company but the good news is that they ship internationally so those of us this side of the pond don't miss out!

Christmas Wish List No.5

It's just not Christmas unless you get a new pair of slippers and the ones I've asked for this year are these knitted fair isle booties.

Don't they look nice and toasty! They are made from 100% lambswool so no need to worry about your toes getting cold this Christmas! You can find them in-store and on-line at Toast and there are three colours to choose from.

Christmas Wish List No.4

Those of you who are regular readers will know I love a good cushion, so my Christmas Wish List would not be complete without one! This year it's this adorable bunny that has caught my eye.

Such a sweet and simple design. It would look as good sitting by itself on a favourite chair or as part of a selection on a sofa. It's from quirky on-line retailer Belle & Boo which you MUST check out- there are so many cute pieces available. It's £43 and is filled with luxurious duck feather. Mmm, cosy!

Christmas Wish List No.3

Yes, yes, I know I've talked about these pretty bikes before on my blog but I just can't help myself! I love this bike so much that I will just keep talking about it until I actually own it! It is the ladies Bella bicycle in Persephone Pink from BEG if a certain someone is reading.

Isn't it pretty! Though I think I would be just as happy to own that lovely Designers Guild wallpaper in the background too. (It's called Portier Clover and available here)

Christmas Wish List No.2

Following on from my success in the kitchen a couple of weeks ago when I made a French Rose Apple Tart, I have found a new interest in baking. French baking in particular. I don't know if that's even a thing, but I'm going to go with it as everything I seem to crave at the minute seems like it's French: macaroons, eclairs, tarte tatin and so many more! So when I was browsing Anthropologie and saw this, it went swiftly onto my list!

Mmm, think of all the yummy recipes inside!

Christmas Wish List No.1

So it's come to that time of year when every every blog and e-zine are compiling gift lists for ideas on what to buy the ones you love this Christmas. These are great if you're getting a bit stuck on what to buy the boyfriend-who-has-everything or the fussy sister. However, what about us, right? So, this year I will be posting beautiful gifts daily that you might want for yourself. Think 'one for you, one for me'! There will be something posted every day so why not stop by and see what you can treat yourself to too?

So, number one on my Christmas Wish List is this beautiful fox charm necklace from my favourite jewellers, RUST.

Okay, okay, it may be a little pricey at £250, but a girl can dream.
