Ok, so it wasn’t that long ago I was bemoaning the end of Summer but I really do love Autumn. Mainly because it’s nearly time for Halloween, Bonfire Night and, oh yes, my birthday. (Whoop!)
So when a very charming Helen from Most Wanted got in touch to ask if I could come up for a few things under £50 for their Autumn Styling Challenge, I thought it sounded like fun.
So here’s my Autumn adds that I would pick to brighten up my home if I had a few more pennies:
1. This gorgeous owl cushions from Roddy and Ginger… partly because most of our cushion are dressing our for sale flat. I miss having funky cushions to recline on – or to hide behind when I’m watching Dexter!
2. Pretty coloured light flexes from Rockett St George.co.uk… because a little pop of colour on a grey day or a dark night can’t be a bad thing.
3. A Pet Sounds tea towel from To Dry For… because it matches my hall wallpaper (and because you can’t dry your dishes with wallpaper!).
4. A wee mountain (or two) by Hilary Grant to brighten up my white duvet cover.
5. This gorgeous screen print by Nikki Williams which reads “A house full of teacakes is a happy one”… because it makes me smile.
6. This amazing Squirrel Tea Cozy from Fuzzy Logic Felt… because it would not only keep my teapot warm but co-ordinate with my green tea!
7. This Sleeping Foxes print by Dee Beale… because doesn’t it make you feel cosy and snuggly?
8. A Snail Plate from Welcome Home… Why? Because I have no doubt that this (complete with a cupcake) would make me grin from ear to ear on dreich, blustery day (there’s a few of those in Scotland!).
9. More fairy lights from Habitat… to make our place sparkle a bit more when it’s dark outside. Currently my favourite ‘string’ is wound round the top of our yellow 4 poster bed which makes it look like our little den.
10. And finally (breaking the rules here!) if money was no object, I would get one of these…
… a Donna Wilson House blanket! (Hint: this costs a quite a lot more than £50!) I have one her mini blankets at home and it’s fab for putting over you when watching TV but a bit too small (perfect for the cats to cuddle up in though!). So this one would be extra cosy and you can put it over a clothes horse to make a house… amazing!
Have a lovely Autumn weekend my dears x

I love the snail plate, although not for myself but Baba has a bit of an obsession with snails and he would just think that was divine think he would eat anything served on that. Lol xx
I love the snail plate, not so much for me but Baba. He is obsessed with snails and I don’t think we would have a problem with him eating off this. He would eat whatever was put on it lol xx
The owl cushion and teadcake house print have just completely rocked my Friday world!
I’ll take one of each please! particular loves – the wee mountains, the mug on the first picture(a bit like your owl-fox-cat, no?), the wee snailer plate, and the teacake house print.
Great finds – love the owl and mountain cushions!
Really like the fox print, how about that for your hallway…it’s also along the orange colour scheme! (Didn’t comment on the last post because I was suffering from indecision, I loved the fox print but you’re right the price was in a very different ball park to the Aardvark manifesto one!)
[…] Friday I’m in love… with Autumn « Conversation Pieces […]
I love crisp autumn days but not all this rain!
A requirement of clothes horses is the ability to make dens out of them no? Oh they’re for drying clothes on – huh.
Those mountain pillows are very special.
you’ve made my day too! roddy is in good company, thanks so much.
I so love autumn! And also that squirrel tea cosy – pure brilliant!
lovely things…the foxes are perfect and i am mad about the fairy lights – also, you have a yellow four poster bed?! – wow!
I absolutely adore that teacake print! I’m forever thinking that the Tunnocks Teacakes wrappers are too pretty just to be scrunched up into tiny balls and thrown away – finally something that recognises their aesthetic worth! A great selection 🙂
Nothing can top that cup in the first image. So cute.
Dee Beale, Roddy & Ginger and Hilary Grant – love them all!
Snail plates! Mountain cushions! Cat mugs! I salute your impeccable taste, my dear, you just got yurself a new follower 🙂
I love the mountain cushions and the dangly lights. But the snail plates are fab!
Thanks for this lovely post, nice to know the mountains go down well and it’s an honor to be mentioned alongside all this lovely work. 🙂
