Hi Everyone, 

Wowser! what a start to May hey? 

Looking out my window today, it feels like July not the first day of May. What I wouldn't do to have a day on the beach today? Perfect day for a dip I think and being mid-week it would be quiet too. Well.... as usual, no rest for the wicked, so best I can do is remind myself of a previous day spent on the lovely west coast of the UK photographing Island Home stock and getting a little sun kissed in the process - fun day had by all I assure you!

So with the warmer weather comes thoughts of opening all those windows and doors and letting the sunshine in! I have always thought that what I wanted Island Home to encapsulate is that feeling... that breaking out of the dreary cold and damp UK winter ( or is that Spring? Autumn? or on occasions even Summer...) and letting your house breathe  - adding a bit of summer-time joy back into the place, I'm hoping you guys agree we have met that remit, at least occasionally! 

So with that all in mind, its worth mentioning here that we are in Stocktake sale at the moment. Up to 70% off a range of our fabulous bedding, wall art, homewares and furniture. Worth considering is our Oatley Grey Wash Lamp currently 50% off, and our gorgeous summer foliage including Bangalow dried palm fronds 45% off, and our Weeping Spring Blossom 48% off. Featured in my gorgeous seaside snap is our Kiama Geometric candle holders both 49% off and our Kiama stone artichoke 47% off. 

Stocks won't last for long so its worth taking a look now and seeing what is still available ( worth a scroll while having a sunbathe I think...)

Now get out there all of you, and enjoy this gorgeous weather while it lasts... knowing the UK and May its unpredictable and we need to grab it while we can!
