it's friday and this is what's making me happy. (john lewis shopping spree edition)

(finally got the matching cushion)

(a few little candles to be displayed throughout rooms)

(much needed utensils and the cutest little salt bowl)

(gorgeous plates and a polka dot table runner)

(amazing Le Creuset pans...don't know how we survived without them)

(new mugs for copious amounts of green teas)

TGIF...This week has been quite the test. I have come down with quite a strong head cold recently and it has been making the normal day-to-day activities a lot harder.

Luckily our John Lewis vouchers arrived early this week and we were able to go crazy and buy so many homeware items which have been on our list. It was the perfect little pick-me-up and all our new items has definitely put a massive smile on my face.

I am really enjoying this decorating process. Even though I know I have to be really patient and it is such a gradual process, I love the part of finding the items which I know will be perfect for our place. Then when we finally get them, it feels like another part of our little puzzle is being put together. It's such a new adventure for George and I - decorating our first very own place together...so I better enjoy it.

This weekend, we are off to Bristol. George will be working the whole weekend, but I will be wandering around with my camera, reading my book while sipping on hot chocolates in cute little cafes, going window shopping, and generally just getting lost and discovering a new city. I'm also excited to get snuggled up in our hotel bath robes and watch some movies and pop a bottle of champagne.

As I said...TGIF! Hope everyone has had an amazing week and has an even better weekend coming up.
