Corner of my room...

I've changed a few things around in my little sitting room and I've put this little grey table in the corner for now. I'd really like a more Swedish/French style one but I already had this one, so it will do for now! It's just the right height though and my gilded carved lamp looks pretty on it. The little jewelled star was a birthday present from my sister- I love stars and have them all over my house!

Christmas at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond

Just thought I'd post a few photos I took on my iPhone recently at Petersham Nurseries in Richmond, London. It's such a lovely place to visit. I never buy much, as the things I like are way out of my budget, but I like to have a look around and have a cup of tea and a piece of their homemade cake.
I love their styling, and the fact that although it's primary a nursery for plants, you can buy the antiques and loads of gifts and decorative items for your home. There's also a lovely restaurant and another tea- room you can visit too. It's very rustic and all the antiques are very weathered and have definitely been chosen to fit in with their faded colour palette. The ground inside all the rooms is just soil, as they are placed inside huge glass conservatories- it's a good idea to wear boots or wellies!
