Treatbox UK {July Box}

It’s almost like the July treatbox was made with me in mind. I mean, as if receiving a gift, just for me, through the letterbox isn’t enough. But, a French themed one. Well, ‘bonjour toi’!

I can’t rave enough about the packaging, just gorgeous isn’t it? Every care and attention has been taken to make this letterbox treat as luxurious and special as possible. I love that.

Every single item is described in great detail.

Inside the box this month, a gorgeous picture frame, the cute-as-a-button coin purse; a perfect addition to your summer bag, a biscuit (because who doesn’t love a biscuit with a cuppa?) Eiffel Tower socks; because nothing speaks France more than the architectural feel of this awe inspiring building (they are so soft). Pin badges, BubbleT lip balm (could be mistaken for a tasty macaroon) And my favourite, a beautiful print that will brighten your day ‘ a la belle etoile’.

I’m really enjoying these boxes and at £12.95 they are such an inexpensive monthly treat.

Pop over to TreatboxUK to find out more about the full range of products available, including one-off boxes, monthly subscription, 3,6 & 12 month packages and build your own boxes (which I am very keen to try!) Plus, if you subscribe to their newsletter you can receive 10% off your first order. Just thank me later…..

Already dreaming of the August box……

Have an amazing weekend,

Dining with Robert Welch UK

These long balmy summer evenings are definitely my favourite. Seasonal dining, with the doors open wide, I cant think of many things that are better.

Setting a table for guests is something I really enjoy,  always keeping it simple, mainly as I think a simple table is the most effective. Fresh crisp linen, always white for me. Candles;  not just for how pretty they look, but I like to pick a scent that works with the season. For this table it was lime and ginger. Fresh flowers; usually garden offerings, I think these create a more natural, rustic, homegrown look. For this table it was lavender, the smell was amazing. Super clean glass wear (it has to be sparkling) Always white plates/serving bowls, simple and stylish. Finally cutlery; good quality cutlery is SO essential.

Robert Welch very kindly gifted to me the Trattoria Bright Cutlery Set to review whilst dining with friends and family last weekend.

‘Every Robert Welch product is designed in the Old Silk Mill at Chipping Campden by the Robert Welch design team. The Mill, nestled in the English Cotswold Hills, is where founder, Robert Welch, began designing in one small room, back in 1955’

I love a product with a proper, wholesome story behind it and was especially won over by this design being British and ‘kitchen table’ homegrown.

The Trattoria cutlery has a traditional appearance inspired by European bistro dining. Designed with the highest quality of 18/20 mirror polish stainless steel (the shine is amazing!) and POM plastic handles with stainless steel rivets. This cutlery set is classy and elegant, great for indoor and outdoor dining whether it be elegant or more casual. The weight is great, heavy enough to feel VERY premium, but light enough to feel comfortable to hold and use.

Its comes with a 25 year guarantee and is dishwasher safe (win, win!)

Scrolling through the website, Robert Welch offer a cutlery sample service, which is such a great idea. Buy a sample set here

 

So, would I spend my hard earn’t cash on this cutlery, absolutely YES! Fantastic product, a gorgeous range to choose from and whats more, all designed in good old Blightly!

Happy Summer dining!

Tablewear by So Souk

I first came across Petrina and Jo of So Souk probably a year ago, since then its safe to say I’ve been pretty hooked; following their travels to Morocco to source items for their stunning artisan collection of homewear and accessories. It was Petrina and Jo’s love for the Moroccan culture, people and treasures, that inspired them to create So Souk and give us lucky people the opportunity to be apart of the diverse and colourful culture of Morocco, enabling us to buy these wonderfully original sourced and produced pieces.

They gifted to me these beautifully hand blocked, printed in fern print grey (also available in blue, pink, green and navy) napkin and table cloth set, the range so gorgeous. Made from 100% cotton, I was pleasantly surprised how incredibly soft they are and so unique. The table cloths are available in a 6-seater and 8 seater size, the napkins are available in a set of 6 or 8. I think buying an artisan item is always so special, knowing that this design is hand blocked and designed exclusively for So Souk in India.

This weekend I am hosting a dinner party and these have definitely make the cut for the table!

 

Stay tuned on instagram for the full table prep this weekend…..

Happy weekend all!
