Hello everybody,
It has been a while since I last posted in my dear blog. I was working on the new <b><a href="https://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/" target="_blank">chocolate creative website</a></b>, which has taken much longer than I anticipated and it did make sense to stop posting in this one, as it would mean less content to transfer to the new site. I am happy to announce that the new <a href="https://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>website</b></a> is now live, I hope you find it easier to navigate and inspiring. The new design now include this blog, so both the online <a href="https://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>shop</b></a> and the <b><a href="https://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a></b> can be viewed from the same platform. Please bear with me, while I revise old posts, change links, adjust photo sizes, etc…as the migration of the content has not been as easy as I thought. I will continue to blog about things that inspire me, places I visit and my own work and brand, I hope you find it inspiring and entertaining too!

GET THE LOOK</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Following this year's Christmas neutral theme at home, I chose the B&W landscape <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/product/lampshade-black-white-landscape-table-lamp" target="_blank">table lamp</a>, together with the <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/category/cushions" target="_blank">black casas and Skiing chalet cushions</a> to create an eclectic and calm look. I focused on adding layers with different patterns and textures. Natural linens, green branches and handmade decoratives details, such as the paper spoons framed on the walls, live together in my living room, next to some of my old etchings and vintage finds. </div>

One of my favorite times of the year has arrived. I love Christmas in the UK, but not so much back in the islands, my house is here and it is where I can get to decorate it and enjoy it just before I leave. I like visiting the different events in the capital, admire the lights, and feel the cold, as once I get to Gran Canaria, the mood change into flip flops, beach and sun cream...<br />
<br />
I don't tend to spend Christmas in the UK, as part of my family lives in Gran Canaria, and the rest in Germany, so traveling is always on the cards for me.<br />
<br />
I start thinking of Christmas around October (I should do it much earlier, to get things ready for the <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/" target="_blank">shop</a>, but I never manage). I choose a theme, and get the decorations out, I buy a few new things each year, and plan a bit how I am going to decorate the space, then of course nothing happens until later in December...<br />
<br />
Since I travel, I never buy a tree in London, but I always decorate the house, even if it is just for a few weeks before leaving. I am not so much into colours, and prefer to keep the space neutral, maybe that will change in the future, but right now I like to keep things simple. This year, I have recycled some of my old decorations, and added some greens I bought in the local florist together with my cushions, lampshade and wall hooks. <br />

The black & white landscape lampshade is from my <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/product/lampshade-black-white-landscape-table-lamp" target="_blank">shop</a>, the white ceramic mug is from talented <a href="http://designk.co.uk/" target="_blank">Byung</a>, and the rest of the objects I found in vintage shops and car-boot sales. The glass dome I bought almost 17 years ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Following the simple neutral theme this year, I chose some mono-crome wall hooks, and added some handmade decorations, and greens. My mother made the Christmas stoking this Summer, I am taking them with me as she made one for each of us.</div>

I am very pleased with the enchanted village wall hooks, a collaboration I recently did with designer <a href="https://www.sianzeng.com/" target="_blank">Sian Zeng</a>, they are available at my <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/product/sian-chocolate-creative-wall-hooks" target="_blank">shop online</a>, where you can find a much bigger selection of colours and shapes. <br />

I desperately needed a plan chest to store my art prints, so when the
school around the corner was getting rid of it, I snapped it up just at the
right time. It was covered in dirt, old paint etc...but nothing that
can't be fixed after many hours of scratching, sanding and cleaning. </div>

This is the last post from London, so see you all from Gran Canaria, I hope you have fun decorating your homes, and remember to follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chocolatecreative/" target="_blank"><b>Instagram</b></a> for some adventures under the SUN!</div>

I would like to thank everybody who came to our event last Sunday at <a href="http://www.theglebehouselondon.com/" target="_blank">The Glebe House</a> in Clapham. Alix, Lisa, Lynne, Virginia and I really appreciate your company, purchases and interest in our work.<br />
<br />
It is doubting to organise a free gathering as you don't know if people will turn up. On the Sunday morning I arrived at the
house hoping that people will come along and join us in our cosy
and fun event. Considering the amount of similar markets happening in the
capital and near by, I am very pleased to say that we got a nice turn
up. We did our best advertising it, we even did door-to-door leafleting
on a few cold evenings. Sometimes I find smaller events better and more successful, especially if they take part in nice charming spaces. <br />

As part of the Christmas market, we had some fun workshops running. <a href="http://www.lisastickleystudio.com/" target="_blank">Lisa Stickley</a> spent hours teaching children how to make collages and draw pictures, while she read them her <a href="http://www.lisastickleystudio.com/books/" target="_blank">new book</a>. </div>

In the next room, <a href="https://www.papermash.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lynne</a> run some nice workshops on how to make natural gifts and wrapping presents. People got creative and made some niece pieces. The little boy in the picture made the most, he had so much fun, and took part in all the events, clever little boy!<br />
<br />
The fabric bunting is mine, my mother made it this Summer with designs from my English romantic collection. If I were to sell it, it would be the most expensive bunting around, the fabrics costs a lot of money to print and are of very good quality. <br />

I have organsied together with some very talented ladies a <a href="http://www.theglebehouselondon.com/events.html" target="_blank">Christmas market</a> at The Glebe House, in Clapham Old Town. There would be some stalls selling beautiful gifts and workshops for adults and children. You can expect to see handmade accessories from Virginia <a href="http://www.roddyandginger.co.uk/" target="_blank">Roddy & Ginger</a> and myself <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/" target="_blank">chocolate creative</a>, plus workshops run by Lynne <a href="https://www.papermash.co.uk/" target="_blank">Papermash</a> and <a href="http://www.lisastickleystudio.com/" target="_blank">Lisa Stickley</a>. If you live in London, don't miss this opportunity to spend a day making fun handmade things and a bit of shopping too! FREE entry to the market, If you are thinking of booking a workshop, I recommend to <a href="http://www.theglebehouselondon.com/events.html" target="_blank">pre-book</a> it, as there are limited places in each of them.

Bloggers <a href="https://www.joelix.com/" target="_blank">Judith</a> and <a href="https://happyinteriorblog.com/" target="_blank">Igor</a>, founders of the Urban Jungle <a href="https://www.urbanjunglebloggers.com/bloggers" target="_blank">Blog</a>, have created a very inspiring book called "Urban Jungle" about how to bring nature indoors and care for your plants. The book features trips to green homes across Europe, with many tips and plants profiles, as well as plant styling ideas with the help of <a href="https://www.urbanjunglebloggers.com/bloggers" target="_blank">18 Urban Jungle Bloggers.</a> </div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have always loved having indoor plants, not only because they make our homes more beautiful and bring an element of nature inside, but because it fills my need of caring for something small that needs love and attention. Unfortunately I don't seem to have learned much over the years, as the poor plants in my house don't seem to last very long or look very healthy and happy.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">To me this is not a trend - having a big collection of plants in the house - (I dislike this word VERY VERY much), but a going back to traditions and how we have always lived, at least in Spain. I remember living in our different houses and always having plenty of plants scattered around the house, in the patio, attic, corridors hanging from the ceiling, etc…</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">Over the Summer I decided to take all the cactus/succulents outside in the garden, as they were looking pretty sad and were dying, and I am happy to report that they seem to have gained life again. They are now back inside as our Winters are too cold – I really hope they will continue to grow and keep me company.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Plants, flowers, pets, art, travel finds, family heirlooms, etc…make up for an unique home, it always surprises me when I enter a house that is just a plain space filled with the same colour and style range of furniture, nothing really stands up, as if there is not life in that space. A while ago I met someone who said, that she didn't like any of these things, specially house plants or pets as she didn't have time to care for them, too much fuss she said…Oh well, as much as I respect her views on how we choose to live in our homes, I still recommend a house filled with loved things, including plenty of greens and animals to look after, I am sure life is much richer and fulfilling this way! </span><br />

One of my customers, Delyth has sent me these images of her fab recent loft conversion and house renovation, where she has used a range of bespoke handles and wooden knobs to finish the cupboard doors, in the loft and the bathrooms. She came across my range of <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/category/bespoke-handles-and-drawer-pulls" target="_blank">bespoke handles</a> when she was looking for door knobs and handles to finish her project.<br />
I really like the useful storage solution in the loft, and how she has used the wooden handles to finish the white cupboards.<br />

Carlie, a customer of mine, has recently sent me some photos of her new kitchen. She chose the <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/product/new-wooden-knobs" target="_blank">colorful plywood knobs</a> from <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/product/new-wooden-knobs" target="_blank">chocolate creative</a> to create a contemporary and beautiful space where to cook and entertain. I love the plywood pale blue top that match perfectly the wooden knobs and grey cabinets. </div>

A very practical layout with plenty of storage and work surface. I am of the opinion that open spaces are a must in our houses. Ideally an unique space for the whole family and visitors to enjoy. <br />

I love to see how <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/" target="_blank">chocolate creative</a>'s customers use its products in their homes. These photos from Nils twins nursery are a good example of how creative people can be. True Scandinavian style, crisp whites combined with happy colours and natural wood. Yellow is a great colour to work with, specially if you match it with neutral colours such as black and grey. Keep it simple adding some graphic elements with cushions, soft toys and wall art to complete the look.
The <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/category/furniture-door-knobs" target="_blank">yellow wooden knobs</a> match perfectly the look, adding some colour to the bespoke dresser that Nils used from her former company <a href="https://www.houtcuisine.nl/" target="_blank">Hout Cuisine</a>, where they specialise in making wooden fronts for ikea kitchen cabinets. For the full selection of wooden knobs and bespoke handles go to<a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/" target="_blank"> chocolate creative's shop </a>online.

I moved to London 19 years ago, and I have been living in the South East of the city for over 15 years. I am happy here, but more and more I feel the need for a change, new adventures and places to see and experience. Perhaps, I am not ready to go back to Spain yet, so moving elsewhere in the country, preferably by the coast could be an option. I am nervous about leaving the city, but at the same time, I need some proper fresh air, to be nearer nature, open spaces and the Sea.<br />
<br />
<br />
I first went to Hastings 10 years ago with my family on a little holidays day trip, it was boiling hot and sunny. I remember having fish and chips by the beach and feeling as if we were the only Spanish people in town. Over the years I have been going for day trips and staying with friends, but it is being only lately that I have felt like this part of East Sussex could be my next home.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I enjoy the long walk that connects both towns, on a sunny day it is perfection, on a windy/rainy one is a bit of a hell. The new pier, perfect stop for a view of the coastline, coffee and rest. Betty the dog (belongs to my friend Leah), she is my new super cute friend, she loves playing with my trainers, eating treats and resting on my lap, if I could I would have a dog, another few cats, and maybe a rabbit too...</div>

Below, St. Leonards Gardens; despite the many times I have visited Hastings, I never made it to this area, but last week I had the opportunity to walk and get to know the place better. I LOVE around here, a flat in Maze Hill, Dane Rd, Gensing Gardens, would be very good thank you very</div>

Because dreaming doesn't cost money, and it is my favorite hobby. I have put together a mood board to help me visualise my future home. My budget is very small, and although prices in Hastings are nothing like in London, they are going up very very quickly. A couple of years ago, I could have afforded a gorgeous flat, (I was not ready to move), but now I will be lucky if I manage to get a little decent 1 bedroom somewhere...<br />
<br />
I am tempted to get a ready to move in place, or a bigger place that needs lots of work, money, time and energy that I don't have right now. In any case, I keep dreaming ans searching...I picture myself living in a simple white flat, I hope warm and comfortable too. <br />

There is a gorgeous 1 bedroom flat in this building (top picture), ready to move in, love the area, but it is too small for Missi and I, plus I would need some extra space for family and friends visits. (below pictures) the different architecture you can find in the old Town of Hastings. <br />

I still hesitate whether or not I should go back to Spain for good, or stay in the UK, if so, where? Is Hastings/St. Leonards the best option? Would I be able to afford a decent place to call home? Would I feel very lonely, leaving behind many friends and the big smoke? Time will tell...wish me luck!</div>

Children's bedrooms are the most fun to decorate, I don't have kids myself, (I live with a cat), but If I did, I will create a cosy and interesting space for them to sleep and play. I love styling little one's rooms, and enjoy very much when I have to put together ideas for the photo-shoot of my products. I am not a fan of strong colours, plastic toys or very modern furniture, so my choice would be to rescue some vintage furniture, mixed with contemporary practical accessories, mixed patterns, textures and add their personal touch, with their drawings, books and clothes. Their bedrooms should be a magical place where they rest, dream and play with their friends and parents. </div>

A pet, would be a great addition to the children's life. They turn a house into a home. I know that not everybody can have one, but having them makes a house even more special, they have a very positive and loving energy, they give more than they take from us. </div>

I am very lucky to live in a house with a decent size back and front outdoor spaces. Back in Gran Canaria, I would have to live in the countryside to have access to this green space, but here in London, almost every house has a garden. As you can see, I hardly have any plants going, just a few roses and lavender that have survived over the years, but this Summer, I am determined to learn how to take care of the garden. This whole thing is very challenging for me, as I don't have the knowledge, or the money to employ an expert, so I will have to do it on my own, with the help of my friends. </div>

A visit to <a href="http://www.charlenemullen.com/" target="_blank">Charlene</a>'s house, has inspired me to create a wild garden, she has some tropical plants and very beautiful flowers in hers. With a very small budget, I have to get creative, my priority is to get rid of the grass, as it does affects me a lot, and cover it with gravel, any other suggestions? I will dig some beds around the edges for flowers and plants, and create a dining area, for dinners al fresco (when English weather allows). At this point I can only make small changes, but hopefully they will improve the space, and would make my life easier. </div>

For the seating area, I would like to get a German beer table and bench, as they are narrow, and would fit the small space at the front of the garden. I like the idea of the French style bistro table too, all very simple and practical, as I would need to put the furniture away for the Winter months. <br />

Hello Monday, hello new week, and hello new beginnings. I am not going to go into details about how I feel about the latest development in the UK. As a Spanish living in London for the past 19 years, I feel sad, concern, and confused, it is not easy to see and feel how divided this country is, and what an uncertain future lies ahead of us. To top up the misery, Spain just had the second general elections within 6 months, to come to almost the same conclusion as the first time around. Right now, I find very difficult to seat in my studio, stay focus and talk about interiors/design and sell beautiful things, as this seems so irrelevant right now. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But as I continue to be the same person I was last week, I can only do what I do best, my job!! Browsing some - new to me blogs - I found the gorgeous and happy <a href="http://www.thisisglamorous.com/" target="_blank">This is Glamorous</a>. I was captivated by its dreamy and glamorous aesthetics straight away, just what I needed today, flowers and more flowers, gorgeous buildings, landscapes and accessories. </div>

I am painting some furniture at home in black, and organising the house for a photo-shoot. It helps me to put together some visuals mood-boards with ideas, <a href="https://uk.pinterest.com/choco_creative/" target="_blank">pinterest</a>, magazines and blogs are my main source of inspiration, although I have a very clear vision of what I like anyway. I have always wanted a chesterfield sofa upholstered in linen, very feminine but still simple and timeless. </div>

<span style="color: black;">The above photo is of my living room, I love peonies, and having a mixed eclectic collection of things in the house. The photo below represents my style very well, I like interiors with personality, art, flowers, dark painted furniture, wooden flloors, etc...I hope my ideas come together nicely, all I have to do now is stop day dreaming and get on with the DIY job!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On Saturday the 11th, I
took a train together with some very nice girls – <a href="https://www.papermash.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lynne</a>,
<a href="https://disastersofathirtysomething.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Sarah</a>, and <a href="http://www.gatheredcheer.com/blog/" target="_blank">Ruth</a>
for our little trip to <a href="http://www.faversham.org/" target="_blank">Faversham</a> to meet <a href="http://www.kateclarkelondon.com/" target="_blank">Kate</a>
and get to know her new town. I have been there several times, and the more I
visit the more I like it. This trip was organsied by <a href="http://www.gatheredcheer.com/events/" target="_blank">Ruth
Garner</a>, as part of her <a href="http://www.gatheredcheer.com/events/" target="_blank">Gathered Cheer Social</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I find very important to
meet up with people who appreciate the same things as I do, when you work on
your own, and spend too much time in your studio, it is good to meet with nice
people, share ideas, experiences, dreams, etc…I make a priority to meet up with
friends, go to networking events, socialise with new people, sometimes I join a
walking group, some others I go to press events, design shows, etc…</span><br />

little house I have never seem. He built it out of scaffolding wood planks.
It is such a cosy and pretty space, Kate spend hours in there working on her drawings for her pattern collections. Their allotment is pretty impressive too. They grow veggies, fruits and
flowers. They have created the perfect place for relaxing, being creative and
entertaining family and friends. I went away with some ideas for my garden, which I
will be working on in the next few weeks. </span></div>

be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I keep dreaming that one day, I

and sustainable production, the textured mix of woods, the neutral use of
colour, and beautiful details. I would have a serious problem trying to choose
which kitchen to go for, as I am equally in love with the moody dark version,
or the rather calm and simple white option, but what about the smoky
cabinets on white walls and natural wood? </span></div>

<b>Sebastian Cox kitchen </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.devolkitchens.co.uk/" target="_blank">Devol</a> is totally out of my budget, but that doesn’t stop me from appreciating the beauty and quality of their designs. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is exquisite. I had the opportunity of seeing their latest collaboration with <a href="http://www.sebastiancox.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sebastian Cox</a> at <a href="http://www.clerkenwelldesignweek.com/" target="_blank">Clerkenwell Design Week</a>. The simplicity of the cabinets, and combination of natural wood with the choice of dark stained one is quite a success, the rusty country accessories, and over all the way they styled the space won me over.

Back in London from my trip to Barcelona. This magical city holds a lot of beautiful memories for me, as I studied part of my Degree over there, and is where I met some of my best friends. The main reason for this time's visit was the birth of my friend <a href="http://teodorabcn.com/">Pilar</a>'s baby, Otto, a gorgeous baby that stole my heart... </div>

Pilar, lives with her partner Natxi and Otto, in a beautiful flat, very close to Plaza Cataluña, just in the centre of the city. With the upcoming arrival of baby Otto, they decided to make some changes in the rooms and decoration. With a flat as grandiose as this one, it is easy to get immersed in the decorating tasks. They both have a very good taste, and have kept the decor neutral to make the most of the modernists tiles, high ceelings, tall windows and features to speak for themselves.
<br />
They have focussed on graphic pieces of art (the top print is one of mine), black and white photography, added some vintage pieces such as the leather chesterfield and chair, combined with more modern pieces of furniture.

Otto's room is a delight, plenty of natural light, white walls, his soon favourite soft toys, and many cushions!!
Pilar and Natxi, plan to finish the flat soon – I hope to show the final result at some point – but for the time being I leave you with some snaps of interesting corners and details. Barcelona has got the most amazing architecture and interiors, another location for me to consider, Gran Canaria, the East Sussex coast, Barcelona... </div>

Hello to all and welcome 2016. After a month spent back home, I am now back in London, working and trying to adapt to the current cold weather, a difficult task since I left behind 30c and my dear family. We normally have some Winter months back in the island, but this year has been very unusually warm, specially in the South of Gran Canaria, where I live. </div>

I wanted to start this year's blog post with some photos I randomly took of Maspalomas, and the near by areas. I live very near of the coast, so this is where I spend most of my time, while staying over there. I will show photos of the capital, and North of the island in my next post. </div>

Some of these houses were built in the 60s when the tourist boom started in this part of the island. I love the simplicity of the square designs, the use of brick, wood and the palms and cactus. They are very different to what you will find in other areas of Gran Canaria, which tend to be more of colonial style. I still dream with owning one of them...

Hola, I am writing from a sunny and rather warm Gran Canaria, Spain, where I came to spend Christmas with my family. As usual, it always takes me a few days to settle back here, specially in Winter, as life and weather are so different, and because while in here, I work less hours and enjoy the nature and outdoors much more than back in the big smoke.

Before leaving London I went into town to enjoy the Christmas decorations, shop's displays, buy some decorations and presents and simply walk through the city, as it is looking at its best! I leave you with some Christmas postcards from my beloved London.

<br />
I didn't want to leave without doing some decoration at home, I always do, and then continue at my mother's house back in Gran Canaria. I was very pleased to receive this very nice wreath from <a href="http://www.balsamhill.co.uk/Wreaths-and-Garland-s/2.htm">Balsam Hill</a>, as it served as a starting point. I like to keep things simple and I never follow a theme or trend, I just put all the decorations I have gathered over the years on the table and start grouping them together. <br />

I added the Russian doll to the <a href="http://www.balsamhill.co.uk/Wreaths-and-Garland-s/2.htm">wreath</a>, which comes with the lights already, and nothing else, as it only needed a detail. If I had time I would have come up with a different idea…The ideal scenario would have been to have time to really enjoy the process of decorating the house for Christmas and share it with family and friends over plenty of food and laughs, (which I managed to do somehow), but not as much as I would have wanted, maybe next year... </div>

The Narrow house is a beautiful renovation project by <a href="http://www.formstudio.co.uk/">FORMstudio</a>. The architects have converted a terrace building dating back to the late 19th century into a light calm oasis in the middle of the city.<br />
<br />
London is getting extremely crowded, and the housing situation is becoming a very difficult problem to solve.
Although I am not particularly in favour of converting old office/commercial properties into residential use, somehow we have to find a balance in this ever growing capital. Well, if you have the budget, projects like this are worth it. The conservation and renovation of an existing building is going to be always better than building a new one from scratch, specially in a city with such an amazing architectural heritage. <br />

I like looking at real houses, that don't belong to stylist magazines, which looks are very achievable. My Home is important to me, and spending time trying to make it a serene and comfortable space where to live, work, and entertain is a must. I have chosen some photos around the flowers/plants theme, I think they make our homes more human and personal. </span><br />

When it comes to interiors, I don't have a defined style, I can either go for something very clean and modern or a more vintage old and eclectic style. Either way, white walls or neutral colours are my must. I am very interested in renovation projects of old properties, I will always be more in favour of rescuing an old property than in building a new one. Even a small simple flat can become a beauty if well renovated. <br />

This flat in Primrose Hill has been renovated by <a href="http://www.agarchitecture.net/primrose-hill-flat/">Amos Goldreich Architecture</a> studio. A small 60-square metre space has been converted in a practical living space filled with light, contemporary furniture, and added touches of colours by using colourful homewares. You can see the before and after pictures of the project <a href="http://www.agarchitecture.net/primrose-hill-flat/">here</a>. How by using quality materials and clever space solutions they have created a beautiful and cosy flat. I like the simplicity of the open layout and the white bespoke furniture units. I can see my range of <a href="http://chocolatecreative.bigcartel.com/category/furniture-door-knobs">wooden knobs</a> and <a href="http://chocolatecreative.bigcartel.com/category/bespoke-handles">bespoke handles</a> being used in projects like this, adding the final touch. </div>

I have something very nice to share with you all. This Friday, November 27th, I’m collaborating with independent brands <a href="http://www.papermash.co.uk/">papermash</a> and <a href="https://www.sianzeng.com/">Sian Zeng</a> on <a href="http://www.brightfriday.co.uk/">Bright Friday</a>. As an alternative to Black Friday discounts we’re donating 15% of sales on Friday to <a href="https://www.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/">Doctors of the World</a> UK, a small charity who offer vital healthcare to vulnerable groups, primarily refugees across Europe, in Calais, Lesbos in Greece and in Germany. In London, they run a clinic in Bethnal Green who serve groups who feel uncomfortable accessing traditional GP surgeries; the homeless, refugees and sex workers. A friend who works at one of the largest aid agencies really recommended them to me as a smaller charity who are doing great work (they’ve been in the Calais camps for a long time) and who would really benefit from our support.<br />
<br />
Here’s a comment from the Executive Director of Doctors of the World, Leigh Daynes:
“By supporting Bright Friday you are directly helping refugees, who are fleeing conflicts and war zones and are in search of a better life, even more urgent as we move into the winter and conditions deteriorate. To find out more please visit <a href="http://www.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/">www.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk</a>.”
<br />
<br />
There are some items from our shops below, and you can visit our <a href="http://www.brightfriday.co.uk/">Bright Friday</a> website for more info as well as our shops. We’d love it if you could help share the word too, via Twitter and Instagram, (@brightfridayuk). If you don’t want to buy anything, we don’t mind at all but please consider texting DOCTOR to 70660 to donate £3 directly (plus network charge.) The charity has been super supportive of our little idea and we’d love to make it a great fundraiser for them.
<br />
<br />
Thanks to all for taking the time to read this post and thanks in advance if you decide to take part in this event.

I have always being interested in old houses with plenty of history, so when she said she lived in this beautiful house, I wanted to hear more about it straight away.<br />

<a href="http://www.alixbateman.com/">Alix Bateman</a> is the owner of <a href="http://www.theglebehouselondon.com/">The Glebe House London</a>, an atmospheric Grade II listed Georgian converted coach house in the conservation area of Clapham Old Town, that is fast becoming a creative hub for the area. Holding workshops in traditional craftsmanship, such as gilding, woodcarving and stone carving, and hosting talks and mini salons, the interior Alix has created is a cool mix of period features, muted colours and striking contemporary lighting and accessories.

The living room was once a passageway through which horse and carriages travelled into the stable yards beyond, and Alix’s home is used for photo and film shoots, as well as hiring out for intimate parties and pop up events. Their latest supper club event, in collaboration with the Disappearing Dining Club, was said by <a href="http://www.timeout.com/london">Time Out</a> to be one of the coolest things to do in London.<br />

My <a href="http://www.chocolatecreative.co.uk/category/lighting">English Romantic lampshade</a> (above) fits the room scheme and colours so well, as if it has been created for it. Alix has chosen some very nice pieces to decorate the house, including interesting choice of lighting, mixed with some beautiful vintage trasures. The house feels like the ideal <a href="http://www.sawdays.co.uk/britain/england/london/the-glebe-house#search_by_distance=true&feature_code=&radius_loop_count=0&search_radius_miles=15&longitude=-0.13&latitude=51.51&search_type=distance&search_text=london,+greater+london,+england,+united+kingdom&">B&B</a> to spend a few days if you are visiting London, not very often you get to step into these so chraming houses. </div>
