God Save The Animals





I hope you are all having a lovely holiday season and I hope you survived Christmas day without too many family arguments. Come on admit it there's usually one door slamming throughout the day. Actually I had a row with my fiance, Ollie, on Christmas Eve... I know - so not festive. I feel red faced because I threw a strop at him  for leaving me all of his family presents to wrap. Poor form on my account especially when he cooked an amazing mustard glazed ham.


I have been thinking what has played a big part in my interior world for 2009 and well it has to be animal ornaments. I think it started when Jonathan Adler gave me one of his charcoal horse tray's in January. Now I'm addicted. Owls are a favourite but I'm starting to lean towards giraffe's and polar bear's.  Areaware have a fantastic collection of Ross Menuez's Fauna Pillows here. You can check out Hamleys here but if you are in London go and experience the store. See you tomorrow for the last post for 2009.... Wow. xxx

The World's Deadliest Pet

I grew up in Australia and there is one thing us Aussie's know. Sharks don't make good pets. Only if this homeowner knew not to let  Mr Shark through the front door...

This Little Piggy Makes The Perfect Pet

There's a new pet in town and it's a little "oink" pig that fit's into your teacup. Yep it's the Micro Pig. Suddenly the price of pork has just gone up. The British newspaper The Guardian, claims Victoria Beckham has just bought one for her football star David from  The Little Pig Farm, run by Jane Croft in Cambridshire. For £700 per piggy you can own one. 




Fully grown, they stand at just over a foot. They make, it seems, brilliant pets – they are affectionate, come when you call their names, and are more intelligent than dogs. 


Croft has stated she is not really selling them as presents, and she won't sell to anybody. She always vets people to check they know what they're taking on – micro pigs need a large garden, should be kept in pairs and can live for 18 years.

They can be easily house trained and will sit on your lap while you watch TV so you can scratch their bellys. They will "talk" to you and have you giggling for hours. They enjoy listening to Classic FM. 


Well if micro isn't your thing you could always consider the big daddy of swine.
