** Competitions now closed** Judging from the popularity of the last “Starter for 10” post, it’s safe to say that you love the opportunity to travel – especially so when it’s free! I am exactly the same and have spent the last few hours rummaging the internet for ways to travel the world for free. Here are some … Continue Reading
For some reason still unbeknownst to me, I had never been to a car boot sale! That is until this weekend and boy was it an experience and a half. On the one hand, there is a lot of rubbish on sale – from old lipstick (still unused of course) to tattered coats which are … Continue Reading
** Competitions now closed** Travelling the world is absolutely amazing but even more amazing than that is being able to do so for free! Here are a few find this week that might be able to help you do so. 1.) Head over to South Africa? 2.) …or visit the Scottish Highlands. 3.) Get a stay … Continue Reading
This is not a commentary or observation on the antique shop itself but instead on the items themselves. Indeed there were so many antiques homeware in the shop that I absolutely love and will share with you on a later date. 🙂 I grew up reading Enid Blyton books and I still have fond memories … Continue Reading
These are items that you probably never heard of before or even considered buying but you’re in need of them and here’s why! 1.) Mini Projectors: How else would you have gotten to watch the Breaking Bad finale on the go? This will save you from screaming and rushing in a mad panic for the remote … Continue Reading
I’m a sucker for a nicely decorated home and I think increasingly, the use of beautifully designed (yet functional) appliances can be one way to spruce up your kitchen, living room or even bedroom. Recently, I’ve been obsessed with getting a really nice coffee machine, once that can take me from actual coffee beans to a … Continue Reading
Offices so cool, they seem almost a crime to do any work in them! 1.) So. Much. Colour. It’s like the skittles factory exploded in here. Nah, scratch that – if Skittles and Rainbows had babies, I believe it would look like this office. I love it! 2.) I mean, Come on! There’s a … Continue Reading
This one is so easy that pretty much anyone can do this in a matter of mere minute! A nice and somewhat quirky way to store wine glasses (which are always a pain to store in cupboards or drawers – especially so when they’ve just been washed and need to dry) is to hang them … Continue Reading
This is us. Halloween 2013. Okay, this is not my typical type of post but Halloween is right around the corner and it’s something of a party emergency! 🙂 Every year it creeps up on me – obliviously enjoying my October until… Wham! The dreaded word starts to appear everywhere from all my friends (and … Continue Reading
There is more inspiration in these homes than you can shake a stick at! I would like to have a version of every single one of these in my dream home (or at least element of each). I’m basically in “home lust” now… (Google it, “home lust” is definitely a legit thing. 😉 ) … Continue Reading
I’ve always been a sucker for clean and airy spaces (which typically tend to be painted white) but lately, I found myself more and more interested in pastel colours (by lately, I mean over the past 6 months or so). My obsession with pastel colour hasn’t been a conscious thought-out process, it has been more … Continue Reading
Growing up, watercolours used to seem so amateurish to me. Probably because this was the first medium I tried to use to paint and as you probably already know, I am a terrible painter/artist. I can’t draw, I can’t really paint and even if you asked me to draw a dog now, I’m pretty sure … Continue Reading
Following the release of the Hand Luggage App for Android Phones, we’re pleased to announce that The Hand Luggage Only app is now available for download for iPhones! (Whoop! Whoop!!!)
Let’s jump into it, shall we? 1.) Kicking things off is this amazingly warm and spacious apartment with a lovely cosy feel! It gives the feeling of being a family home (and child friendly) but that open fire place says otherwise. Big plus point, you get lots of light and direct sunlight into the flat! … Continue Reading
