Another new discovery for you today. This is the online boutique Ever So Flo set up earlier this year by Ruth Yardy (mother of Flo) who offers a mix of vintage or hand-made.

This is the perfect time of year to think about the details in your home. It’s not just about throws and cushions and rugs (although that is good too) but it’s time to rearrange the accessories. Switch them up a little, as I believe the current phrase goes. After all, you’re going to be spending a lot of time looking at them over the next few months, so you might as well invest a little time, and possibly money, into making sure they look good.

I love the framed disc from the top picture, which is perfect for the industrial glamour look that I have been banging on about as the next trend. But Ever So Flo, also sell a huge collection of framed butterflies.

Now before you start, the butterflies are all ethically sourced from legitimate farms and there are no endangered species on the site. Read more about that here

These old French cheese moulds make great tealight holders as well. Perfect for the time of year.

The one other thing I would say about this site is that it is a testament to the power of good photography. These images are all just sumptuous aren’t they? Ruth said she was taught by Emily Quinton, a professional photographer who runs workshops for bloggers and brands and I think I might just sign myself up.
