These flour sieves are made from beech wood and very fine wire mesh. The wood is steamed to make it pliable and flexible. The product is finished off with organic paint and varnish, and they come in a range of pretty colours to complement any kitchen. #abreathofwhitespace #daysofsmallthings #forprettysake #littlejoys #kitchenaccessories #prettyandpractical

After a lovely Sunday at @treaclemarket we're now busy making preparations for this weekend's Spring Artisan Market at the glorious Haddon Hall, Bakewell. Open 10-5 this Friday, Saturday and Sunday #haddonhall #artisanmarkets #bakewell #peakdistrictnationalpark #springcleaning #prettyandpractical #moderncountrystyle #stylingtheseason #bevisuallyinspired #cleanliving #liveclean

A bit of spring sunshine to brighten the day. Hope you’re having a good afternoon. ☀️ #simpleandpure #simpleandstill #cleanliving #liveclean #daysofsmallthings #abreathofwhitespace

Yesterday morning basketful of puppies. Yesterday afternoon spent in A&E with youngest child who had gashed his leg open. Now he’s all stitched up and back home ... playing with puppies!

Twin lambs - born late afternoon today. Our first twins of the year. #hebridean #lambingseason #peakdistrictnationalpark #modernfarmhouse #moderncountrystyle #slowliving #distractionsandinspirations #simpleandpure #simpleandseason

On a happier note the first of this year’s lambs has been born safely and seven Border Collie puppies were born on Friday (I know they look more like guinea pigs on this photo but they’re definitely puppies!) We thought she’d given birth to six - until she stood up and we realised another one had arrived unnoticed. #modernfarmhouse #bordercollie #puppiesofinstagram #simpleandstill #slowlivingforlife #aquietstyle_balance #tinytinymoments #daysofsmallthings #stayinspired

I need help people. I know Instagram only seems to show perfection so maybe this isn’t the place for this but real life isn’t so perfect. My little business is struggling. The reality is that ‘perfect squares’ and ‘likes’ don’t pay the bills. It’s great that there are people out there like the @justacard team cheering on small businesses. It doesn’t have to be buying something though goodness knows that would help. Spreading the word would help. If you know of anyone who might like what I do, please share/nudge them in my direction. If you’ve liked what you bought or appreciated the good service then please leave a review- they help massively. And if you’d like to buy anything then I’d be most grateful. My online shop is open. Thank you.

It is SO windy here today but the sun is in and out. I’ve taken a chance and hung the washing out. It’ll be dry though fear it could be miles away by teatime! But the sweet smell of line dried sheets and pillow cases is worth the risk. I think that scent is the most soothing and calming of all. Laying your head on the sweet smelling pillow eases away all the cares. It’s definitely on my list of top five favourite smells. Along with wood smoke. And Pine trees. #alifeofintention #livesimple #seeksimplicity #kinfolklife #slowlivingforlife #aquietstyle #alittlebeautyeverywhere #beautyinsimplicity #distractionsandinspirations #behomefree #embracingtheseasonsathome #thesimpleeveryday

I spent some time at the weekend emptying the compost bins because they’re falling apart and we need to build new ones. What struck me was how new looking the occasional bits of plastic that had ended up in there appeared! For example those plastic plant labels or bits of plant pot. They’d not degraded at all even though all the plant matter around had broken down. I shouldn’t have been surprised - after all there are enough stories in the news about the problems of getting rid of plastic waste, aren’t there? - but this was such a perfect, microscopic example of a massive problem. We’re trying to use less but it’s hard to find ways of making a difference. These beautiful bamboo toothbrushes are made by @the_truthbrush. They’re fully biodegradable and the bamboo is farmed organically. There are roughly about 66 million people in the UK. If each person buys at least two toothbrushes a year, that means more than 132 million plastic toothbrushes are thrown away every year. With lovely designs like this, there’s really no reason at all not to swap plastic for bamboo. Details and more info on our website.
