A VINTAGE KNIT FOR EMILY [WORK IN PROGRESS]

October 21, 2017 | Chloe

vintage-baby-knits-floyd-pullover-3 I’m just popping in this morning to share a little glimpse of a 1930’s style jumper I’ve been working on for Emily… Continue reading →

I couldn't resist grabbing this shot on the way back from the Christmas tree lot today (thank you @me_and_orla for the inspiration 😄❤). There were a few bends in the road where I worried we wouldn't all make it home in one piece but she's here and she's dressed 💫 I love seeing everyone's Christmas trees popping up on Instagram at this time of year - though I wish we got to see the owners alongside them more often too! @vintageeverydayofficial have an amazing photography archive of 1950's/1960's women standing in front of their Christmas trees - I'll stick the link in my bio. I love the combination of dressed-up trees and dressed-up owners. I'm going to try and take my own tree selfie this year, and maybe every year? What a fun photo album to look back on 🌲 . . . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #gloomandglow #christmastree #socal #socality #inspiremyinstagram #nestandthrive #bloomandgrow #livemoremagic

Still finding the odd pocket of Summer here and there 💙 The beaches are full of families wearing cute matching outfits and posing for their Christmas card photos - it makes me wonder if it's too late to sew up something for the girls to wear and jump on the bandwagon? Maybe next year. Right now I'm enjoying planning a scaled down Christmas menu (since we'll here by ourselves) and am daydreaming about foraged wreaths and garlands. Are you feeling Christmassy yet? 💫 . . . . . . . . #theartofslowliving #momentsofmine #socality #socal #calmversation #wondermore #nestandflourish #outdooradventures #liveauthentic

It may not be the same as back home but Autumn is making its presence felt here too. Shadows in the sand, palm trees looming out of the mist and fir cones the size of my hand that land in the garden over night. I can kind of feel myself turning inwards towards our home and the cupboards that need organising and the things I want to make. Back in England this feeling lasted until spring so I'm interested to see what the next few months bring. I finally unpacked my sewing machines yesterday so today I am going to plug them into the transformer and see if they work here 🤞I hope you have a peaceful Sunday whatever you're doing 💙 . . . . . . . #aseasonalshift #momentsofmine #socality #socal #stillswithstories #wondermore #nestandflourish #outdooradventures #liveauthentic

At low tide you'll find us here looking for sand dollars and shells 🐚 I had such a nice weekend showing my sister round some of our favourite local spots. This week it's back to reality as I try to make sense of the towers of boxes currently dominating our house 🙈 I might share the process on stories if I'm feeling brave - does anyone else find it hard to share the messy, in-between stages too? . . . . . . . . #myeverydaymagic #momentsofmine #socality #socal #stayandwander #wondermore #theoutbound #outdooradventures #liveauthentic

I'm posting this bunch of allotment grown cosmos from the airport before the girls and I catch our one-way flight to LA - it feels so surreal and yet totally normal at the same time. The culmination of almost a years worth of decluttering, car boot sales, sleepless nights and goodbyes. I am so ready for this adventure to begin! ❤ . . . . . . #aseasonalshift #myeverydaymagic #searchwandercollect #beautyyouseek #momentsofmine #bloomandgrow #bloomandgrowtogether #underthefloralspell #seasonspoetry

Yesterday the girls and I wandered along the river from Borough to Waterloo, saying farewell to London as we went ❤ Swipe left for a couple of cute houses (also our mode of transport for this trip, which I crowdsourced through my local network of Mums 💪 I've never used one of these @philandteds pushchairs before but they're perfect for the city). . . . . . #aseasonalshift #myeverydaymagic #searchwandercollect #beautyyouseek #momentsofmine #londonist #visitlondon #flashesofdelight #petitjoys

I want to remember these hawthorn berries, and these fields of horses. We've got one more week of catching up with friends and family before we head back to California. Next week looks rainy so I'm trying to think of the best indoor, child friendly day trips in London/Surrey. Any suggestions? . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #aseasonalshift #theartofslowliving #myeverydaymagic #searchwandercollect #upandautumn #gloomandglow #surreyblogger #surreymum

This fruit doth make my soul to thrive... . If you've been following my Insta Stories for a while you may have heard the tale of the allotment ransacking deer who used the branches of my freshly planted apple tree as dental floss, leaving me with one spindly bough remaining. . That spindly bough bore one solitary fruit - which I was sure would succumb to further deer attacks, or else perish some other way but no, against the odds I ate my first russet apple from my first apple tree today. It was delicious - sharp and sweet, the first of many, to be enjoyed by many I hope 🍎 . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #aseasonalshift #allotmentlife #theartofslowliving #myeverydaymagic #creativefolk #searchwandercollect #upandautumn #gloomandglow

I'm so looking forward to visiting the allotment next week and harvesting the squashes! In the meantime these will have to do 🎃😬 . . . . . . . . . . #seasonspoetry #theartofslowliving #nestandflourish #aquietstyle #momentsofmine #inspiremyinstagram #nestandthrive #thesimpleeveryday #slowlived #petitjoys #livemoremagic #gloomandglow #searchwandercollect #theslowdowncollective #beautyyouseek #stillwithstories #asecondofwhimsey #creativefolk #amomentofwonder #myeverydaymagic #calmversation #calm_collected #slowdownwithstills #aseasonalshift
