Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a glorious weekend. Is anyone else enjoying that the days are a little cooler? I love this crisp weather, it’s the perfect time to spend an afternoon potting in the kitchen making delicious bite size cookies. We were lucky enough to have a few, well a lot, of these incredibly moreish spiced cookies with warm cups of tea with Ben’s parents yesterday afternoon. They’re so good that I had to whip up a batch the second we got home – they’re so simple to make and I promise you wont be able to stop at one. x

I hope everyone had a lovely and relaxing long weekend, we didn’t really get up to much which was a perfect to spend three sunnyish days. I did go to an amazing nursery with my parents and started the wonderful task of collecting plants for our gardens to be. I can’t wait to show you what we have planned, hopefully it will work out how we want. We have also been talking about rearranging the bedrooms in our house {mostly to fit Ben’s piano into the house, that is still at his parents} but that leads the way to pretty new things and a clean out. I also came acrosse this breathtakingly simple wedding featured on Once Wed, it’s so soft and delicate and would be perfect for any season. What do you think? x
