Vintage Leather at Rose & Grey

Now I'm almost grown up (well I'm 28, that's the same thing isn't it?), I find myself keeping a watchful eye on pieces of very grown up furniture. The main piece grasping for my attention at the moment is this wonderful vintage leather chair from Rose & Grey. It's very grown up, isn't it? Sensible even. But oh my goodness it looks so squishy that you'd fall down the back of it never to be seen again. Which means truly excellent afternoon naps, perfect comfort and hours and hours of 'go away, I'm reading' enjoyment.


I want it. I absolutely desire this squishy throne of a chair. Now all I need is to be grown up enough to have a spare £895 in the bank. Expensive? Yes. But I bet I'm still curled up in this in 20 years time.

Get squishable - you're never too old for toys

I thought long and hard about whether to show you Squishables. Not because I didn't think you'd like them (just *look* at them!) but because they're only sold from the USA, and shipping to Blighty costs as much as the squishy itself, making one of these cuties cost about £60 all in.

But then I thought 'hey, how often do I get to write about cuddly toys?' And I decided you'd forgive me. Squishables are proper grown-up toys; you only have to look at the gallery to see that. They make great pillows, they're cute as hell, they're talking points for any house with a sense of humour, and even boys like them (especially the Panda, apparently)!
