LAURA ASHLEY BLOG BIRTHDAY

Earlier this week I attended a Laura Ashley event to celebrate one year of their interiors blog.  We drank quince vodka cocktails in teacups, ate lemon and lavender scones created by Angel Adoree of The Vintage Patisserie and saw highlights from the beautiful upcoming Christmas collections. Is mid-October too early to start feeling excited?

Amongst my favourite gift ideas were these old fashioned sweets because I'm a sucker for reusable storage jars (and pear drops), the stylish oversized glass lanterns and the beautiful silver Christmas decorations.  I left with the Clear Optic Glass Storage Jar from under the gift tree, which I've already filled with my many, many rings. Thanks for such a lovely event, girlies.
