Whether [...]

It’s a real dilemma when whenever you ask the man in your life what he would like for his birthday/Christmas/wedding anniversary he shrugs his shoulders and just says “I dunno”. That’s because there are some men who, at first glance, just seem to be impossible to buy for.
You know the sort – he’s settled [...]

There’s a great article today on the BBC website all about the history of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” World War II poster.
As we’ve discussed before, the posters were produced on the eve of the war, but never displayed in public.
We’ve found that people don’t just love it as a poster, they enjoy seeing [...]

Two weeks to go until Valentine’s Day, and I find that I’m asking myself… are men more romantic than women?
All the obvious evidence would suggest, no. After all, the typical profile of the person who buys Mills & Boon romances, or queues up for the latest chick-flick, is definitely female.
If you had [...]

I have a darling exotic Croatian beauty of a friend called Andrijana. Not only is she a wonderful cook, but she also fills her home with beautiful, impeccably stylish things. You could say that she is the epitome of great taste!

We are fortunate to have so many beautiful things for sale at Fabiola & Sing Sing, but sometimes it’s a real wrench to part with them.
Take this gorgeous Mathilde cake stand for instance.
I don’t know how Graham managed to avoid snaffling one of those meringues when he took the photograph. Me? I think [...]

We had a last-minute delivery of a batch of Christmas decorations arrive on Friday, including mercurised glass baubles and silver stars, and they are simply beautiful!
They would look wonderful either on the Christmas tree, or as the centrepiece of a table display. I must admit, they really helped me forget the rain this weekend [...]

With the Christmas party season upon us, I have been thinking about what to wear.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a very little teensie weensie shoe obsession and I always begin planning an outfit with the shoes first. In fact, I actually chose the shoes I was to be married in before choosing [...]
