Some thoughts for the new year.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get outside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take note of the morning sunrise and evening sunset. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Open the windows and breathe in the fresh air. Hold loved ones a little bit tighter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be spontaneous. Be loving. Be patient. Be kind. Cherish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do something you have always wanted to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Read more. Laugh more. Worry less. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Live for now and stop stressing over the future. Love and be loved. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Believe in yourself.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like 2012 was a good learning curve for me. By the end of last year I had become a very anxious, worry some person. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent a lot of time over Christmas and new year reflecting on this. I don't want to live my life like that. My children are healthy. Blessed to have the lives they do. We are incredibly blessed to have all that we do.<br />

It has been a good weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mum and I spent Saturday afternoon browsing a vintage fair and the Charity shops, we drank pumpkin lattes and ate cake. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was our birthday treat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found this Ercol dresser, that comes with a plate stand shelving attachment and just had to buy! I have one in my lounge (slightly different shape pattern on the cupboards) but how could I resist. I still don't know whether to keep or to sell. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To have two would be greedy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But its AMAZING right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I will have people fighting over this. Especially with the stunning plate stand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I am so looking to this weekend. I have booked Saturday off work, as a little birthday treat, and I am going to spend the whole weekend at home with my little family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to do some home making. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preparing the house for the coming cold months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting ready for the cosy days and dark nights. I want to layer all the beds with blankets and extra cushions. Finish some of the half started jobs. Mosey round the bootsale before the sun has even risen. A slow cooked lunch on Sunday and some quality time with the children and my husband. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhh blissful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love being at home with my family. Making our little retreat a happy home with a good soul. </div>

October.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love October.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cosy nights. Birthday girls. Slow cooked food. Crunchy leaves. The smell of bonfire's in the air. Dark, starry nights. Pumpkin pie and hot coffee. All hallows eve. The glow from a candle. New tights. Scary books. Long hot baths. Harvest festival. Apple picking. Misty morning's. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A time to slow down before the Christmas season begins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Just a super duper quick hello. I hope you are all well, happy and feeling healthy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I have been seriously lacking on the blog front of late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apologies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have all been very preoccupied in the Hodges household the past three weeks. Lots of pain in the bum situations but it seems we are nearing the end of them. YAY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There has been lots going on. I won't bore you all with the details as I hate to focus on the rubbish things and want focus on one amazing thing that did happen this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong>I am officially a student. A BA honours English literature student.</strong></em> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After almost 15 years of dreaming of studying literature I have taken the plunge. All I have ever wanted to do is read and write. I was all set to study my A levels and go to university but then things happened and I lost my way a little. Now 10 years on, a husband, three babies and a mortgage later I have decided to follow my heart. And here I am. A student. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am literally skipping hoops right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have chosen to study through the open university as I can juggle my very busy life and family around study. The course looks fab and I am currently reading the play <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Faustus_(play)">Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe</a> in preparation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am little excited right now. Can you tell?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It is incredibly liberating to take a dream and turn it into a reality.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life is short and life is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
precious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't sit around worrying putting things off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take heed and do something you want. Not because you must. Do something you desire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is pretty amazing.</div>

It has been one week and one day since we moved into our beloved home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The home we have agonised over for two and a half years. Two and a half years of collecting furniture, salvaging items and attempting to completely renovate the whole house on a budget of £5000. And we have done it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really has been a labour of love and from the minute we moved our last box of possessions into the house it was <b style="font-style: italic;">home</b>. We are settled, happy. Absolutely loving the fresh air. The rural backdrop. The retro theme. We have been doing lots of walking, playing in the garden, picking blackberries. Eating lots of home cooked food and just enjoying every second of being a family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Home is where the heart is</b></i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really want to get some professional shots of the house to share with you all but right now things are so hectic here that these phone ones will have to do. I hope you get a feel for the house. </div>

Hello! it has been a bit crazy busy over here. Moving is quite stressful no? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But boy am I happy. The whole family has worked so hard and our little retro dream has finally become a reality. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise to blog in full and talk a whole lot more about the renovation and how we did/what we bought but for now I just wanted to say hello and share a few sneaky peek pictures. </div>

The whole house is like stepping back in time and it suits us, as a family down to a t. We have literally given up our lives for this house and it has been worth every second. You can feel the warm glow it radiates as you walk through the door. The children love being there. We love bring there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think making a peaceful, happy home to live in helps shape a content family. We can be very content here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy doesn't cover how I am feeling right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Speak soon. Have a happy week.</div>

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend? We have had the best one of the summer so far. With the Olympic closing ceremony, which may I add was amazing, family fun, yummy BBQ and meteor shower watching (I saw just one but that was enough for me!) it has been pretty good. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made the most of spending time outside in the sunshine, making sure the children got plenty of vitamin d. I feel incredibly relaxed for all the lazing around, it feels good to store some of that lazy afternoon basking before the school term starts again in a few weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also spotted our first Conker! Poppy will be keeping a close eye on that one. Can you see it in the picture?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course we, well my wonderful husband, spent some time at the house. He has been laying the floor in the lounge. It looks so good. I've got a cracker of a husband. He can pretty much put his hand to anything, I am seriously considering hiring him out ;) </div>

Bloody hell. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been a cracking few weeks. A cracking few weeks for misfortunes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I refuse to let them beat me so won't go into too many details. I am a firm believer in the law of attraction, hence the domino of bad luck of late. But am I going to throw that bad luck on its behind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now I am focusing on all that is good for me and what makes me feel happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am truly lucky and blessed to have so many amazing things and people in my life. Three beautiful children. The best husband ever. A supportive family. We are all healthy and happy and incredibly lucky to have all that we do.Material things are not everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>The little things that are making me feel happy right now are;</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reading. For myself and to the children. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The August sunsets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The smell of the children all bathed and covered in talcum powder.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hot lemon and ginger tea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having faith and prayer. Thank you mum for instilling the catholic faith in me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The autumn magazine issues. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daydreaming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reassuring cuddles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Choral music. Sounds a bit strange but don't knock it before you have tried it. Seriously relaxing and uplifting!</div>

August. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last month of the Summer. Soon it will be falling leaves and darker nights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, August is all about unwinding, preparing for the new season. Making the most of lazy summer eves and enjoying the sunshine. So I made this little play list. Perfect for listening to late on a summer night. Enjoy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The wedding happened Saturday and it was truly beautiful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was <i>OVER THE MOON</i> with how the styling went. It was the most perfect day. Everything about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the country church ceremony, the vintage car to the cottage garden flowers (Thank you Charlotte they were stunning) it really was a day to remember.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day reflected the couple on every level. It was relaxed, happy, romantic and all about being together with family and friends. And in the evening it was almost like a festival! Dancing bare boot under the stars. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of the pictures I took on my phone. </div>

I am still here! Apologies for my absence over the past week. If you can remember I mentioned my friends wedding? <a href="http://poppylaurenvintageboutique.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/wedding-planner.html">Here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, the wedding is this coming weekend and I have been so so so busy with the preparation. It feels like it is all coming together and I am so excited for Caroline and Rob. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I will go AWOL again for the next few days I thought I would leave you with some delicious interior pictures. I have been lusting over these for inspiration and motivation to get our house finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across a fabulous blog called <a href="http://kitschyliving.tumblr.com/">Kitschy Living</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyday new pictures are posted. Whether it be retro interior or garish kitsch photographs it is a retro lovers dream. I only got to page 68 but I would definitely recommend browsing through EVERY page. Its like kitsch on tap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my favourite pictures. Don't you just love them?</div>

There were a few hours of sunshine this weekend and I was determined to make the most of it. Last summer I relished waking at 5 am to wander around the boot sale in the morning sunshine. This summer I have not done this once. Every weekend has been rained off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In other news we painted the kitchen at the weekend. We have gone for Bubbles which you can find <a href="http://reviews.homebase.co.uk/1494-en_gb/205467/reviews.htm">here</a> I am head over heels in love with it. I seriously adore the colour of our kitchen. When we told people we were painting the kitchen this colour we had a few, '<i>really?'s</i>.</div>

<i>My advice, If you love something for your home and don't feel brave enough or have people advising you to do what they think would be better, just go for what you truly want. It is your home and should reflect you. Our home is going to be a bright, happy haven for a very happy family.</i></div>

We are having a splash back tiled with the same tiles we have in our bathroom. Here are the <a href="http://poppylaurenvintageboutique.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/cup-of-coffee-and-catch-up.html">tiles</a> and I am desperate for a geometric black and white floor. Anyone know of any? I am really struggling to find one. If one doesn't turn up I am thinking black and white chequered vinyl?</div>

When I found out that Charlotte's great grandad had painted them in the 70's I just had to find out a little more about this intriguing man and his quirky artwork.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr Charles Thomas Marson aka Charlie aka <em>Charlie Kitsch,</em> as he is now renamed (more on that later!) was born 27th April 1912. Always an artist but as many men of the era he went to sea and fought for our country in the second world war. On Christmas eve 1942 his wife, Doris, received a letter to say he had been injured in battle when the vehicle he was in drove over a land mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only did he survive he went on to fight in the war until 1946 when he returned home to his child hood sweetheart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Continuing work as an insurance agent he never lost his love for painting, as ever the fighter he battled for his life for 15 years against prostate cancer, but still continued to paint for his children and grandchildren. He also painted for the community, including the windows of the houses on his street at Christmas time. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>And this is why I love <em>vintage</em>. </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These retro paintings and the heart warming story that go with them fill me with such nostalgia and admiration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After asking (pleading) with Charlotte for copies of the paintings she told me that there are many more pieces like this, including a 1950's cat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is how charlie kitsch came about. I am so happy to tell you that, with permission from her family, Charlotte will be having the paintings reprinted and for sale very soon in her etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/people/charlieretroprints?ref=si_pr">here</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Charlotte and her family are so proud to be able to share Charlies work and they tell me that if he were alive today he would be the proudest man.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God bless you Charlie. I am so happy I got to own a little piece of your life.</div>

As the interior work is now coming to an end on our homemade home we have started talking about what do to with the outside of the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is currently a very tired garage and front door. Both are in desperate need of some colour. I absolutely love eye catching, bright, inviting colours. Especially for the exterior of the house. It gives off a real 'welcome to our family home' vibe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But did you know red can attract happiness and blue helps inspire creativity?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, me either! Who knew??</div>

They say a red door attracts happiness and means welcome. In Scotland a door would be painted red if you had paid your mortgage off and in Ireland its says a red front door ward's off evil spirits. It is also very symbolic for the Catholic church, the colour of Christ's blood.</div>

<em>French children don't throw food.</em> A french parenting guide written by an American. Its OK, I am only a few chapters in. Possibly one for new mothers, I have already experienced most that's written in this book so its a little late for the advice! But the idea of parenting. Living in Paris. In the sunshine. Eating French bread under the Eiffel tower,<em> is</em> entertaining me!</div>

<em>To kill a mocking bird.</em> I must have read this 100 times over. A classic and beautifully written book. If you have never read then PLEASE do!</div>

These are Poppy, Ted and Henry's favourites. <br />
<em>Owl Babies</em> and <em>The magic sky</em> both have audio with them. We make up a den, snuggle in and listen to each imaginative, little person attention grabbing, story. <br />
The tree that sat down is a fairytale . Pops and I get totally lost in a world of fairies, potions and talking animals. </div>

So feed your brain and wash away the rain sodden cells, READ A BOOK. And pray for sunshine. Please.<br />

Three years ago today I got married.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And three years on I still feel like the luckiest girl alive. We were able to have the most amazing wedding. All thanks to a little television series called 'Don't tell the bride'. The bride hands over all input, decisions and organisation to the groom and in return receives £12,000 to pay for the wedding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cried.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cried some more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Infact, I cried for three weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never been apart from Luke before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was blasted for my essex accent (I am proud to say I'm an essex girl) and was followed around by a television crew for almost 24 hours a day, seven days a week for three weeks solid.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would I change it? Not a thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am grateful everyday that we took part in the programme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got a wedding we would never have been able to afford. I got the dream dress. The dream location. The dream church. And most of all I became a Mrs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A wife.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A <i>Hodges</i>, like my new husband and baby daughter (the twins were just a twinkle at the time) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

For those of you that follow me on Twitter you will know that my dream home as gone up for sale. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you all have one of these? A house that you have always wanted, your perfect forever home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a home that I drive past all the time and long to own. I have loved it from afar and now its up for sale. When I saw the for sale boards outside I just had to see if we could afford it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can't. Not in a long shot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I just had to share. I have imagined us living there. With chickens,ducks, goats and pigs. An abundant allotment. An apple tree in the garden. Stone floors and a wood burning stove. I have imagined the sunsets over the fields. Listening to the cockerel and his cry. The smell of the wild flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like a modern day Larkin family.</div>

It says there is planning permission to extend/change the property. I hope the new owners keep its charm and don't turn it into a modern luxury mansion like some of the houses in the area. I love the bungalows traditional feel. It sits right at home as it is. It probably needs a new kitchen/bathroom etc but I would keep the exterior the same. I would fill the garden with beautiful flowers and have a whole farmyard out the back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I will need to sell a lot of vintage to afford a house like this but one day...one day...</div>

Here I am in my sick bed recovering from food poising. It has been frightful. Thankfully I am feeling much better and have some exciting news regarding our kitchen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fitted at the weekend. What do you think?</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so pleased with it! It looks amazing. I didn't get my way with the worktops but I think the black ones look nice. So all is well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you know we saved this kitchen and all the appliances from a skip. We did a little research on this <a href="http://www.kitchensmiths.co.uk/kitchens/allmilmo/">allmilmo kitchen</a> and were amazed when we found out a bit more about this German company.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are a pretty pricey for starters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has to be the find of our homemade home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never in a million years would i expect to be able to afford a kitchen like this. With prices ranging from 18-27k (cough,splutter,choke!, Our WHOLE renovation has cost us less than 5k!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something like this was wayyyyyyyyyyy out of reach in the real world. But not in the thrifting world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only did we get the designer kitchen but see those appliances?, Smeg, Kupperbush, Miele, to name but a few, all in all cost us £500! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We priced the microwave oven, that comes in at £1200 alone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this designer kitchen was due to be thrown away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Madness right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing we couldn't get to fit were the slate worktops, original sinks and a few of the cupboards. Aside from spending on a new sink and super cheap worktops I would say this is the bargain of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am in love with our new(ish) kitchen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brings a whole new light on thrifty finds.</div>

We spent the weekend on a staycation in beautiful Norfolk. One caravan, four adults and three children. And it was fabulous!. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The forecast said three months worth of rain in three days. I was a bit worried if I'm honest, how on earth would we entertain the children?. Thankfully the sun shone and apart from a chilly British wind the weekend went unspoilt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">
We went on country walks, ate ice cream on Great Yarmouth beach, climbed trees, built woodland dens and just spent time as a family. The children have come home with a glow in their cheeks and we have come home exhausted, but happy. </div>

We stayed <a href="http://www.parkdeanholidays.co.uk/norfolk-holidays/cherry-tree/cherry-tree-holiday-park.htm">here</a> if you want to find out more about caravan holidays in Norfolk. We will definitely be going back! (This is not a sponsored post, we just had a wonderful time). </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Back to the grind now my friends, the kitchen is being fitted at the weekend. I am so EXCITED. Cannot wait to share our barganious kitchen. Two years of planning, saving and dreaming is coming to an end. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Interior inspiration on tap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have never heard of Ikea family live, it is basically a website jam packed with a stunning array of eclectic real life interior design ideas, from all over the globe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The easy to find photographs are perfect for an interior porn addict like myself. I can spend hours at a time drooling over the endless supply of real life rooms. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Doesn't it make it so much better when you know a normal, everyday person has designed them?. The scandi/retro dream is still in reach!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just had to share my current home envy. I look at these pictures everyday. They are providing my mantra,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'I will have my dream home'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me introduce to you Anki, Casper, wolf and mus,<br />
(With names like that of course they are going to have a outrageously amazing house) <br />
And their bright, bold and beautiful home. </div>

I just love it when stuff like this happens. I still can't believe I managed to get five actual pairs of curtains. All in pristine condition. </div>

I love vintage swimwear. There is something so beautiful about it. The modest cuts and flattering shapes. As a woman who has been through two pregnancies, one which was twins I realise how important decent swimming attire is.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time I could wear a £5.00 Primark bikini and look a million dollars. Well, half decent at least!.<br />
Now its quality over quantity.<br />
<br />
I am not as body confident as I used to be. We are going on holiday next weekend and I want to embrace my inner Marilyn and feel confident in the swimming pool. </div>
