Caffe Cagliari

If there is one thing I love, love, love it's coffee. Oh my gosh there is not one day that goes by when I don't have one. As a parent there are not many times I get to indulge and so coffee is my go-to treat and pick-me-up.

My favourite time of day to drink coffee is just after the nursery drop off, I might sit in a cafe and people watch whilst sipping slowly or grab a takeaway latte from my local cafe on the way back to work-from-home.

I've spoken with my boyfriend for a good while how a coffee machine would most certainly save us a great deal of money, gone would be my cafe priced indulgences and instead I could enjoy the same quality treat in the comfort of our own home, maybe drunk with the paper on a Sunday morning? (Oh wait no that's a luxury pre-motherhood surely?).

Caffe Cagliari are an Italian family run company that have been making good coffee for over 100 years.   You can learn all about their history and coffee making methods on their site but what I found great to know was that their capsules were Nespresso compatible. This means I have even more reason to convince the boyfriend of our need for a good home coffee machine!

What's your favourite types of coffee?

Homes with personality and window's with faces

Illustration by Jasper Gold

I adore the colour constrasts between the blue and yellows. Something so refreshing about those graphic lines too. Doesn't it look like a face too?

Aren't these illustration of houses wonderful? I think one of the first thing I ever drew as a child was a lovely two up two down. There is something quite comforting in illustrating buildings. 

Maybe I love illustrations of houses as it gives them a personality? Like those inanimate objects that seemingly have faces. Or alternatively illustrations on houses like this cute window! I think giving homes personality is so important, wouldn't it be brilliant to be able to illustrate your front room window like this? I often think that being a visual merchandiser would be such a great job, giving shop window's a personality. Another great option is illustration on home items,  for illustrated blinds why not check out the VELUX range?
