Eves & Moon

I’m so excited to be able to tell you about my trip to the Emma Bridgewater Factory in Stoke-on-Trent as a birthday present. As a relatively new collector, I felt that making the journey to the factory was almost a “pilgrimage” of sorts, and also can you even call yourself a fan if you haven’t been to visit?! My friend and I both had tickets for the Experience Day, which cost (a very reasonable) £30.00 each. This included a guided tour of the factory, afternoon tea and the opportunity to decorate your own item of pottery. You can also book to have just a tour of the factory which is an incredible £2.50! We arrived with plenty of time to spare before our tour started, so we decided to have a nose around. The factory itself I must admit looks pretty bleak from the outside. It’s a typical large red brick Victorian style factory sitting amongst similar grim-looking buildings, and next door to a petrol station. Still- we weren’t there to admire the outside! We walked through ...

You’ve got to love Instagram. I was recently scrolling through my feed and saw a photo of an arrangement of some beautiful rustic homeware. As a lover of anything shabby chic/vintage, this photo really sparked my interest and I needed to know more! Turns out that this photo was taken in a shop called “Weathered & Worn”. The shop (luckily for me, but not so lucky for my purse!) is only a 25 minute journey from my house. After much Instagram stalking (their Instagram page is here ) and at the next available opportunity, I told my other half that we HAD to check it out! Weathered & Worn is located in the small village of Hadlow Kent, which is near to Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks. It is a vintage homeware, furniture shop and café, open Monday- Saturday. They also have free parking next to the building which is a definite bonus in my book. The interior is modest but just gorgeous! It isn’t dark and dingy in the slightest which I find with most vintage/antique shops. I...

I've been tagged a few times by people on Instagram and I thought I'd give you a bit of insight into me! I'm putting it on here in the form of a blog post as it is easier to lay out on here I think! So here goes... I'm 28 (turning 29 next week)  I'm a true Virgo through and through. I worry (a lot), I'm shy, I'm kind, I enjoy cleanliness and I HATE slovenliness and rudeness. My sister is also a Virgo and although there's 7 years between us, our birthdays are only a week apart  I'm a big animal lover. I absolutely adore cats, I love rodents (such as hamsters and gerbils) as I used to keep them as a child and I also love sloths and anteaters- I think they're amazing creatures and so funny to look at!  I don't get broody at all over human babies...but animal babies (especially kittens!) and you'll probably find me a complete emotional wreck!  I've lived with my Fiance for 7 and a half years, and we've been together since M...
