    Tote of the Week: New York City Canvas Bag via Famille Summerbelle

    I came across Famille Summerbelle when I began blogging back in 2010 – oh how the years have flown by. Their combination of French and British inspired gifts and homewares had me hooked then and now. Available in three designs: New York, Paris and London, the City Canvas Bag is a worthy purchase to celebrate the city you love. Oh New York, how I love thee. Make it yours for £19.  ♥

    Tote of the Week: Cinema of Love Canvas Bag by David Austen

    Gimme, gimme, gimme this bold and beautiful tote by David Austen via Culture Label. Isn’t it lovely? For £10 it makes a great gift for budding film makers/lovers/geeks (hands up to the latter). It’s just a shame there aren’t as many places to go now to fill it with your latest DVDs. Drat and damnation. A serious catch up with my favourite characters is most definitely in order this weekend. So I’ll be honouring this tote by spending one day…

    Tote of the Week: You Make Me Home by Bianca Green

    Another nautical offering this week from Bianca Green (via Society 8) with her You Make Me Home Tote – will I ever be bored with sea related wares? I think not. I adore the colours in this tote and its sentimental name – a lovely gift for your sweetheart? Make it yours for $18 (ships to UK). I’m still playing catch-up with work, home, blog and jet lag (and adjusting to the weather – it’s a tad cold isn’t it?)…

    Tote of the Week: Salt Water Cure Tote Bag by Tina Crespo

    “The cure for anything is salt water. Sweat, tears, or the sea.” – Isak Dinesen Happy February, my friends. We made it through the wilderness, we made it through.  So what do we have to look forward to (flicks through diary)? Pancake Day on the 12th, lighter evenings, Valentine’s Day, my Mum’s birthday (you will send a card, right?) and…we go to Australia for 3 weeks! Oh my. I’m still in disbelief that we’ll be flying across the world –…

    Tote Of The Week: Bicycles Foldaway Bag via Paperchase

    I might be flaunting my old lady sensibilities here but foldaway bags are handy little things aren’t they? I promise I am only 32 years old. Promise. Ah, sod it. I am a Sherry drinking, Miss Marple watching sentimental so and so. I am still cool. I am. The bicycles foldaway bag via Paperchase is £4 and is a strong durable bag that can easily pop in your satchel. What a delightful print! Happy Friday folks! ♥

    Tote of the week: Book Club Tote via New Leaves Studio

    This Book Club tote puts me in mind of quiet nights in snuggled in the arm-chair, with blanket and hot chocolate in tow. Not forgetting a good book of course. I’m a seasonal reader, I read more books over Autumn and Winter than the rest of the year.  I’ve come to terms with that rather than feeling bad that I don’t read as much during the Spring/Summer. I guess, it’s a good way to distract yourself from all the naff…

    Tote of the week: Butterfly Tote via Borders & Frontiers

    What a glorious week of weather we’ve had? I fear the next few days may be the last of the sunshine so I’m hoping to catch up with some reading and sewing outdoors this weekend (that’s the beauty of hand sewing, it’s mobile!). Lots of beautiful linen landed on my doorstep yesterday so I can begin a new embroidered sampler design and read a couple of plays whilst drinking Rekordelig cider. Sound good? I think so. I’ve also completed my…
