Home Highlight: Still Life from Sanderson
This week my home highlight is Sanderson's new collection Still Life. I adore the work of Matisse and this design takes my breath away. If this sofa were to be mine, I would never leave home. It makes me smile with it's joyful colourways and really makes me want to get my easel and paints out. Hmm, perhaps I should dust them off this weekend?

La Dolce Vita
Recently returned from Lake Garda. In a word - magical. Surrounded by mountains, the crystal clear waters of Lake Garda shimmer as serene swans float by minding their own business. A beautiful place where you never tire of the view and every perspective is a picture postcard. A place I'm sure to return.

This is how we do it
I love a lazy Sunday. I get pretty grumpy if I can't have a lazy Sunday. A lazy Sunday itinerary usual entails pottering about the house, reading the papers, baking...I think you get the picture.
Well on today's lazy Sunday, I decided to do something a little crazy. I attempted a different flapjack recipe. And for the first time ever, my flapjacks didn't completely fall apart! So in celebration of my perfectly square flapjacks, the hubby and I skipped to Pett to enjoy said flapjacks with a nice hot tea. Ok so we didn't skip but we made our way merrily to the beach.
I'm never one to follow instructions exactly so here's my thrown together recipe. Particularly tasty for those who like cakes that aren't too sweet.
Ingredients:
4 tbsp honey
200g olive margerine
150g porridge oats
100g dessicated coconut
50g dried fruits
1. On a low heat, melt margerine and mix in honey.
2. Turn heat off and add oats, coconut and dried fruits to melted mix.
3. Add mix to grease proof tin. I like to spread my mix so it's about 2cm thick and use your hands to press the mix down so that it's nice and compact.
4. Bake for 25min at 180C/350F/Gas 4 or until slightly golden brown on top.
5. Whilst hot, gently score into squares.
6. Leave to cool before turning out.

Badass Beanbags
Loving Woouf's ultra cool beanbags and cushions. Woouf is a quirky design studio based in Barcelona whose work is packed full of fun and joy. I'm all about design that makes you smile and Woouf's collection has me beaming. For anyone starting to think about what to get me for Christmas, I'll have the keyboard above thank you very much. Woouf deliver to the UK but Im sure it won't be long before these are snapped up by UK homeware retailers. Keep an eye out for this bright and bold bunch.
