Wonderful Welbeck Tiles

I have been wanting an excuse to purchase Welbeck's tiles now for the past couple of years. I discovered them at a trade show and just stood there staring at their wonderful display of handmade tiles from their studio in beautiful Penzance, Cornwall. The use of colours patterns and finishes are just stunning, like a magpie to a shiny trinket I was hooked in an instant.


The Platinum collection above would be just perfect for the back of the stove in the kitchen the metallics and line drawings are very chic....... to many lovely designs....... making it to hard to choose.




Totally love the vintage floral patchwork tiles and would love to have these as a splash back or make a mirror surround in my bathroom.....oh one day. Maybe I could stock them in my store......store! Yes thats right :) details to follow very shortly, I am so excited.

We are having a fifties feel to our day here in the Cavania studio today. The stereo is singing away with all the crooners keeping me company with their wonderful retro songs. All I need now is a strawberry milkshake with real whipped cream and sprinkles on top, yum.

Cushions... it's a girl thing

Cushions here there and every where! ...... my question is why is it just a girl thing?
I would have cushions on just about every available space in the house but the husband is not amused.

Herb Garden

This is my little herb garden that was my Mother's Day present last month it has grown so much in the winter sun and we use herbs from it every day. It is wonderful to grow your own vegetables but for now I have one bucket of herbs and one tub of tomatoes maybe one day a vegetable garden. So as not to get confused which herbs were which I made some name sticks which do look cute in the zinc tubs.






In just 4 weeks the herbs have grown quiet large and cover the soil in the tub.
