I have been totally obsessed with Kilim floor cushions for a few years but due to a 'new cushion' ban, imposed by my blokey, I still don't have one. However, a Vintage Berber kilim cushion is not technically 'New' is it? Hmmm!!

Large Round Mirrors...

I am on the hunt for a big, beautiful, round vintage mirror for the top of my stairs. I found a beautiful one in a local charity shop but by the time I had returned to collect it, it had been snapped up by someone else.

My house is pretty light anyway but there is a darker area at the top of my stairs and I am hoping a mirror on the opposite wall may reflect enough light over for a house plant to live there happily.

Candle Review: Acassa, Paddy Wax

The Sunday morning relaxing in bed one: Paddywax bamboo Green Tea candle From the Eco Range
The Earthy relaxing one: My absolute favourite: Edgar Allan Poe Library candle
The refreshing Dressing table One: Paddywax Jasmine: Garden Crush Candles in Tins,
The One I am saving: Lavender and Thyme from the Relish Range
If you read Moon to Moon often you will know that I obsessed with candles and incense so the opportunity to try new fragrances and products and share my findings with you guys is a dream come true.... and I couldn't be happier with these beautiful Candles sent from Home fragrance specialists Acassa.

Acassa have a wide selection of fragrances but they were lovely enough to let me try a selection that appealed to me. All the candles are Soy based and use natural fragrances.

Eco Range..
From the Eco Range I tried the Bamboo and Green Tea candle. All the candles in the Eco range come in a beautiful re-usable green glass jar with an airtight lid, which in honour of the fragrance I will be storing my Green tea bags in when it is finished.

Of all the candles, this was the only one I was a little apprehensive about the fragrance as it is a little sweeter than I would usually go for however, I was pleasantly surprised. It has a really clean, fresh smell and have been using this one whilst chilling in my room on Sunday Mornings.

Library Range..
I was really excited about trying the Edgar Allan Poe candle as this is the one that most appealed to my aesthetic and tastes. With an aroma of Sandalwood, Patchouli and Absinthe and named after Mr Poe himself it had a lot to live up to, and it certainly delivered.

Again another 60 hour candle this one was the first one I reviewed and am sad to say was the first to finish. I have ordered myself another of this candle, it really is that good. Perfect for curling up on the sofa under a blanket with a copy of Tales of Mystery and Madness and a dram of Whisky...


Garden Crush Range..
As you can see from the photo I am getting through this refreshing Jasmine candle pretty quickly as well. I love the smell of this one, it smells really floral and is very similar in smell to one of my most purchased usual brands. It smells like spring time, and gives me hope that England will finally be sunny?

Relish Candle...
Lavender and Thyme fragrance and in an awesome reusable Purple Jar, what more needs to be said! I know for a review I am supposed to burn the candle but I am actually saving this one. Although the other candles were all a real treat this one has a certain air of luxury and smells so lovely that I want to save it for a special occasion or a rainy day.

The jar itself is really cool, and would look awesome on the kitchen shelf with the other coloured glass jars that the rest of the range come in, but my shelves will have to wait :)


Big thank you to Acassa for the opportunity to try your lovely candles...To my readers I hope this review has been interesting and helpful to you guys... I would love to read your feedback, thank you to all of those who have already commented on these images on Instagram. Glad to see you guys love these Candles too xxx

This post is sponsored by Acassa but all the opinions are my own. I turn down countless products to review each month and like my usual posts only accept those I feel reflect my tastes

It doesn't have to be Grand or Stylish. You dont have to have matching designer pans or an expensive wizzy-machine. What makes a great kitchen is born from passion, where food is made from the heart, even if it is just a crisp sandwich and a glass of Ribena...

Crosley Turntable Via A Beautiful Mess
I am most proud of myself, after 8-9 years of sleeping on a mattress on the Floor I have finally invested in an actual KingSize bed and memory foam Mattress, it arrives on Thursday and I cant wait!

My next investment is going to be a new turntable to play my beautiful shiny vinyl on. It would be Shirley Kurata's bubble player in a dream world but that looks really expensive so I am probably going to save for a Crosley.

I am loving these triangle and geometric shelves that seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment. It would be a fun project to transform some reclaimed wood, a little A-frame would look awesome in my tiny bathroom.

Kitchen Details.....

When the dream of buying a home became a realty, I was so excited about the prospect of building my dream kitchen. I was inspired by the years of pretty pictures I had collected for Moon to Moon. I wanted to replace the cupboards with beautiful rustic wooden shelves that would house my jars of spices, brown rice and mismatched blue and terracotta crokery, and I would spend time looking for that perfect vintage style fridge, paint it turquoise and have it overlook a herb garden :)

In reality I do not have a big budget, and annoying things like replacing the front door and getting the heating properly installed is sadly now more of a priority. But that kitchen still needs sorting.

The kitchen is such an important room to me, I want to be inspired to cook homemade soups, spout beans and seeds, bake bread and enjoy being in there when I do so. So I am focusing on the details. Details that dont have to cost a fortune, like a buying a terracotta pot (bottom photo) and planting herbs that I frequently use, displaying some of my pretty jars and containers on the work surface (this will also disguise my awful pink flowery granny tiles until I can replace them),  hanging up my nicest mugs and pans and of course growing my avocado tree. Slowly but surely this kitchen will be great , but on a budget, ebay, etsy and charity shops are my new best friends
