My Spring Shopping Edit
After the longest, darkest winter signs of spring finally seem to be here! The blossom trees on my road have burst into life, the local parks are carpeted with daffodils and joy of joys on a trip out with friends last week (before this cold weather arrived!) we ate lunch and drank aperol spritzes in the glorious sunshine!
Now I don’t know about you but with the advent of spring not only am I dying to freshen up my home with a spot of decorating but I also love to inject a little sunshine into my interiors with a few decorative treats. It doesn’t have to be anything big, a new cushion or a few jazzy candles is enough to give your room (and you) a lift.
So here I’m bringing you some of my favourite new bits and pieces I’ve spotted on my many virtual shopping trips round t’internet!
Some of these ‘I may’ have treated myself to as well. And for all of those that think I’m a strictly monochrome kinda gal you will see I have indulged in some lovely spring shades, even yellow! I know! Anyway hope you like my selection and they bring a little bit of spring sunshine into your interiors (even on a gloomy rainy day ) Happy shopping!
