Orla Kiely biscuits

Posted on September 1, 2011June 29, 2016 by jenny

It’s been a while since I’ve made any gingerbread biscuits and as a playdate was cancelled yesterday I thought I would bake some. I used a gingerbread cookie mix I bought from John Lewis. The mixture smelt delicious and it was lovely to do some easy baking! You all know what an Orla Kiely freak…

Orla Kiely inspired suitcase

Posted on August 28, 2011June 29, 2016 by jenny

My most recent thrifted find was this lovely little vintage suitcase. I can’t imagine why anyone would make, let along buy, such a small suitcase. Perhaps it’s just me who can’t leave home without the kitchen sink! Anyway, it’s made of cardboard and lined with paper and I thought it would be a perfect backdrop…

I’ve gone through a fair few since I bought my first iPhone in 2007, although always stuck with either Cath Kidston or recently, Orla Kiely, covers. Remember the luscious lacquered shell which didn’t last long as I upgraded and…

Orla Kiely lampshade

Posted on February 27, 2011May 17, 2012 by jenny

I recently won a fabulous Orla Kiely lampshade from The Old Lamp Shed. I was able to pick the design I wanted and went for cars – perfect for Edward’s room. When we were expecting we painted the nursery a neutral colour but now Edward’s coming up to his first birthday we’re trying to give…

West End girl

Posted on February 1, 2011January 23, 2015 by jenny

Last week I had a cheeky trip to the West End. I say cheeky because since Edward came along I get little time to myself. Given a couple of hours I decided to go shopping even though I needed to catch up on some sleep and the house needed a clean. Anyway, I hopped on…
