It’s National Camera Day today!

We’d certainly be lost without ours. The camera is an essential piece of kit for our lifestyle & business – whether it’s the blogging or selling side of things. We like one that’s compact in size, but has a good quality lens – with ‘point & shoot’ and ‘messing about’ options!

We’ve actually got two of what we’d call ‘proper’ cameras – so there’s always one available for home shoots, auction views, markets or days out… plus 2 camera phones of course. No excuse not to get the shot then!

To mark the day we’ve chosen a selection of favourite ‘camera collectables’ we found on Etsy.

Etsy List: True Blue

We went out for a meal at the weekend with a couple of friends. When they turned up, one of them said to me, “I’ve never seen you wearing blue before”. I thought about it a second and realised that even though we’ve known each other for about 15 years, it was probably true! Other than jeans, I don’t own that many blue items of clothing.

The following day, I thought about it a bit more. I’ve never had a blue interior either. No blue-painted rooms, no blue towels, no blue bedding, no blue pottery or glass, no blue pots & pans. Granted, blue isn’t one of my favourite colours – like purple or orange – but I’ve nothing against it. I love turquoise, royal blue and indigo… sky blue and baby blue, less so.

Perhaps I’d better make up for lost time – there’s so much fabulous blue vintage and interiors stuff out there!

We’ve had a few false starts, but the al fresco dining season must surely be just around the corner! One of the best smells of summer is the waft of BBQ smoke in the air.

There’s something about long, warm, sunny days that makes you want to dust off the BBQ, put the bottles in an ice-filled cooler and get out into the garden with friends. It’s a really enjoyable, sociable way to spend some time!

'Gin, gin!' Etsy List curated by H is for Home

It’s World Gin Day at the weekend. I’d never heard of it before, but apparently it’s been going for 7 years.

It’s my favourite spirit; I have it with lots of ice, tonic, squeeze of lime and perhaps a dash of elderflower cordial – a perfect summer’s day tipple!

There is an increasing number of gins on the market from which to choose. I like Tanqueray and Bombay Sapphire but there are rose and violet-scented ones (don’t fancy those myself!), saffron, chamomile-infused… There’s even a market for vintage where bottles from the 1950s are fetching over £300!
