waking up to perfection....

Sorry for the lack of posts this last few days.  I just arrived here in Iceland

and have been catching up with my HUGE family :) 

There really is no better place that I could wish to wake up each day, I just

absolutely adore being here, breathing in the crazy-fresh air, bathing in the

pale turquoise pools, eating amazing food.

Black and white bedroom shots...

from Stylizimo blog featuring a very beautiful blanket that she purchased from our store 

Story North. Yes the Cross blanket by Pia Wallen is a very special item; it is absolutely 

stunning, it's very large and very cosy.  I have one and I love it, we are also going to get

 the baby version for our cat Rufus as he keeps stealing ours. I don't blame him, it' so cosy :)
