Back to the Blog!
Sitting in the gentle morning sunlight, sipping on my coffee and thinking about where I am and where I am going {in a blog context that is}! Big thoughts for so early in the day!

September always feels like a time for new beginnings here in the northern hemisphere - while friends and family down south are starting to look forward to warmer days and the start of spring, we are noticing the days slowly growing shorter and the sunshine softer.

This September has most definitely brought winds of change sweeping through our lives - and this will be reflected in the pages of this blog and other projects to follow . . . exciting I hope!!

Instead of being full time in Morocco we have decided - for a time - to commute between the british countryside and the moroccan seaside. Not a bad option really, a good one for the family as a whole, and one that, as I said, brings new opportunities with it! So keep an eye on the blog as I hatch my plans (online shops, pop-up shops!) to bring a little moroccan inspiration to the somewhat cooler climes of the corner of the welsh countryside we are now calling home!

Airbnb in Assilah
If you are anything like me, you are still flicking around the internet planning your summer holiday.
A tad last minute possibly but never too late!
And if Airbnb is your thing - there are still deals to be done, certainly if you are in search of some sunshine in Assilah.
A friend of mine often stays in this perfect medina bolthole - I love visiting her when she is there because it is so quiet and peaceful - a wonderful respite to the clamour of the krakia down my end of the medina! Just take a left just a little further on . . .
Although small (it's perfect for 2) there is a wonderful sense of uncluttered light and space.
A burst of colour is the perfect backdrop for the plants on the little patio leading off the bedroom.
Most of the furnishings and decor are from the medina - so haven't had far to go and feel right at home!
The temptation to over decorate in morocco is huge - I think this calm and uncluttered interior is why I find this house so restful and love visiting.
Make yourself a cup of coffee in the kitchen then step up onto the terrace to gaze over the medina.

a holiday home in tunisia
calm, understated, organic . . .
all qualities that drew me to these images of this lovely holiday home in Tunisia.
I think I could spend a lot of time here, plus on a more selfish note, there are also a lot of ideas
and inspirations that I want to keep on file for myself - one day!
I felt these pictures had a weekend kind of feel - the kind of thing you want to peruse with a morning coffee,
not too taxing!
Happy Weekend

the great outdoors
It is most definitely summertime in our corner of the world,
and the living is feeling a little easier and a lot brighter!
The sunshine has driven us out of the house and onto the terrace
and has also prompted me into getting inspired about outdoor spaces.
I love taking a little of the inside outdoors in warmer weather - a carpet, a lamp, some cushions. . .


I would love to venture into the medina to do a little personal shopping on your behalf, so if there is anything you need to complete your venture into the great outdoors just let me know!

My Etsy Finds
I have recently moved into the world of ETSY as
A few items have already found their way out of the medina to new homes,
while I, in the meantime, have been seeing what other creative people out there are putting in their Etsy shops and am living vicariously through my "favourite" list as I decide which item to succumb to.
Here are a few of the items I have added to my Etsy Wish List
It seems I've inadvertantly favoured the blues!
Barring the unexpected my day starts off with a fresh pot of coffee - I love the simplicity of this print
from thebigharumph
Another simple shape and beautiful colouring in this bowl by
ONEandMANY
This handpainted linen cushion is perfect for day dreaming - and made by a fellow South African who has the lovely shop toucheefeellee
A little bit of blue beadwork can never go amiss - from TheSeaLovers
And finally this inky sea blue map from iPrintPoster.
Just to remind yourself its a big old world out there.
HAPPY SHOPPING
