A Friend / Client's Home In London

Many of you have asked me to show what has happened in London.
So here goes-

This is the front door of my client /friend's home.
It is lovely!

This flower was blooming by the house.

This is the entrance hall - a glimpse of the front door, to the left is the front door

Had mirror, lamps installed & a radiator cover built.
Storage on one side, radiator on the other.

This was for a party in the dining room. 

This is the living room.

The glow from the lights, just marvelous.

This is the mantel over the fireplace in the living room.

A beautiful sofa with yummy pillows we got for the party.

This was my room.
It is called the Green Room.

This picture is from a makeup table
in client's room.

This is called the Red Room!

There are 2 bedrooms and a owners suite upstairs.

Hope you enjoyed the tour of my friend/client's home in London.
Now you have an idea, dear readers, of what I was up to in the UK.

Love,

Peggy

London Walking

Here are some photos I took walking around in London.
I had such a wonderful time

I can't remember the name of the street???
I know I was there!

Those buses are something to be hold!

I am pretty sure I was in Shanghai Tang.

Janet said the streets looked like a cleaner version of New York.

It has been raining when this was taken.

This was along the street where my client lives.

This was right before a big downpour.

This tree was blooming in all its glory.

I had to take a picture of these two guys talking.

Loved all the flags flying.

Looks like a very posh street.

 The macarons are soooo good here.

This is the Royal Academy - I do remember that!

Department store, under construction.

It is so charming in London.

I had to take a picture of this wicker bike.
I was quite taken with it.
 The entire thing is wicker!!!!!

An apartment house!

 A typical street in London.
Look at all the trees blooming + the flowers. 

I had a glorious time.
Wish you all could have been there with me, dear readers.

Love,



Peggy

Back From London!

I am back but jet lagged!
London was grand.
The weather was cold but sunny...

Two gentlemen having a great talk. 

Love all the flags.

The trip back home was long but well worth it. 
I adore London!

Dear readers, I will have more
pictures of my UK trip next week!






 
Love,

10 Things I Adore

This is a list of 10 things I adore. Of course, there are lots more that are not listed here!

1. Rigaud Candles

This candle says yes! to me, my favorite smell is Cypres! 
It was Jackie O's favorite, what is good enough for Jackie is good enough for me. 
It isn't cheap but they last a (really) long time. 


2. Antlers

I adore antlers with earrings on them - Antlers are the best!


3. Chinese Jackets

I wear Chinese Jackets at the drop of a hat!
I love to go to China Town (any where) to look for wonderful items!


 4. John Saladino

Villa is one of his books. He just is the most wonderful designer ever-I think.



5. Monograms

I am Southern, and so proud of it!
Everything I had was monogrammed when I was growing up. 
Friends tell me "you will monogram it, if it stands still long enough!" and that is so true.
I like vintage monograms that are not my initials, I don't care! 


6. London, UK

I love London! 
Thank god, I have clients that hire me to redo their houses there.

Picture of me.


 7. Fireplaces

Love real fires in them. They look so cozy and inviting!


8. Jean Patou "1000"

 

This is my favorite perfume! It smells heavenly!

9. Lilies

These Lilies will last for days(remember to take those stamens off) 
plus they smell divine. 





 
10. Hand written notes / Thank you cards

I love to receive thank you cards but I really love to send them via snail mail.
They mean something so special to me.

So now you know things I love -

Tell me dear readers what you love!
I am wanting to know. 



Thank you for stopping by my blog. Stay warm and have a wonderful weekend!



Love,


Peggy

Wholefoods - London

Can you imagine how surprised I was to find Wholefoods in London?

I love to go there to shop in California.  Who knew, London?

The store is BIG and amazing so want to share some photos with you.
(You can just see the escalator to the second floor in the middle of  the picture + cart escalator also).

Glorious produce!

The wine bar

Loved being able to find everything( other new UK goodies too)

This Wholefoods' floor plan didn't seem different from CA - just bigger!

Enjoy

Love to each of you,  dear readers
