A Life less Ordinary

It seems strange reading my last post lamenting the summer weather; over the last fortnight we've enjoyed the Mediterraen sunshine I described in Italy here at home! Its been very difficult to be disciplined and stay indoors to sew and I confess I haven't always done so. It was particularly challenging yesterday after a surprise present arrived from my lovely daughter in law.

The beautiful book, "A Life Less Ordinary" lay temptingly on the table whilst I sweltered in the attic making lampshades and cushions to take to the Sussex brocante this Thursday. I'm looking forward to Lucy's fair and a chance to explore the villages and towns nearby.

Knowing I was due to visit Brighton Becca had bought me this inspirational book; written by the owners of igigi general store and women's boutique it includes images from their Brighton shop and from their homes.
Zoe Ellison and Alex Legendre both appear to have both enviable homes and a fabulous workplace and this book particularly celebrates their working relationship.

In the afternoon I took it into the garden and,seeking a shady spot, read it on the old wooden bench near our summerhouse. Couldn't resist snapping Ted who was in his favourite summer sunning spot on the roof.

I love the font used in these transparent overlays which mark the beginning of each chapter, any ideas what it is?

The pictures filled me with plans to rearrange all the surfaces inside the house but heat induced lethargy preventing me from actually doing so...and who knows what new treasures I will find whilst away which will need accommodating on return.
If you're coming to Wisborough Green on Thurs please come and say hello
