Home Sweet Home

We've been in the new house for over a month now yet I'm only just getting around to having it look and feel how I want it to. We were lucky, there's such a rustic and vintage feel to the place already so honestly not much needed done admittedly.

I virtually scooted on over to Matalan to see what home furnishings were on offer and I hit the motherload. I found my perfect home accessory. Before we get to that though... there may have been some offers I couldn't ''walk past'' :S

First up this gorgeous Wool Mix Belted Skirt which is no longer on the website (as far as I can see)


Goodness I really have gone in for the heritage / rustic theme this year... If this slight herringbone skirt doesn't prove that then the next items definitely will...


I got 3 different colour variations of the same top.
 I have never in my life done such a thing! In my defence they are just £5.00 each and they have shoulder and elbow patches AND they're polo neck <3 If you'd like one you can still pick them up through this link Patch Detail Polo from Matalan

The next item is a Paper Tray which we are using as a logs and sticks basket and it's perfect!


It slots in so very well.

And finally. My perfect home accessory from Matalan.

The Rustic Charm Jug 


This all arrived this morning and I was like a kid at Christmas ripping open the packaging. This jug was the last thing to open and it was the reason I sped through everything else. I literally couldn't wait to get it! So, of course I headed out to the garden to forage for twigs and other pretties I could fire in there. One thing though!! Beware of GIANT spiders (eeeeep!)


And here we are! Martha Stewart eat your heart out! 

 
I almost can't wait for the holly berries to be out in force. 

I adore it. I'm on a search now for similar themed items for the home.

The Rustic Charm Jug from Matalan is priced at just £8 and it's better than any vase that's for sure! I wish they had more stag themed items!!
