Little treats to mollify misty days

February heralds an end to the long stretch of winter and if you are feeling anything like we are, you are yearning for the longer evenings and brighter days that are promised.  British summer time, when the clocks leap forward, is only 7 weeks away, and then, its daylight until 8pm, it starts to get a little warmer, spring flowers emerge, and winter loosens its grip. To get over the final winter hurdle, we have selected some little treats to help you through of the last of the misty days.

Sunacre soaps

We have a range of gorgeous handmade soaps by @sunacresoaps that are a real treat to use.  They leave your skin feeling so soft and lend a gorgeous scent to your bathroom. They are made with natural ingredients and essential oils, so are kind as well as delightful.  My favourite is orange and patchouli, I wonder what yours is? There are so many beautiful scents to choose from!

Serenity velvet

We aren’t quite out of the winter woods yet, so some candlelight to brighten your evenings with the lovely scents created by Serenity Velvet, may be just what you need.

Cotswold lavender

Hand soap, shower gel and body lotion by @cotswoldlavender offer a luxurious shower time treat that is sure to make you feel ready for anything.

Lavender pouches

If lavender is your scent of choice, these beautiful handmade pouches to freshen drawers, are made by print maker and fabric designer @susiehetherington. They make a great gift as well as something special just for you.

College green

Room diffusers from @collegegreen are the perfect antidote to the winter chill, their comforting scents are subtle and chic, a lovely addition to your home.

Pocket friends

Finally, why not get yourself a pocket friend to keep you secretly company through the last of the dreary days.  These little mice by @nimpyclothing are just the sweetest pals, fitting into the palm of your hand and hiding away in your pocket – how comforting is that!

Here’s to a happy winters end and the swift onset of spring!
