Flowers and Friendship

April 5, 2014 by cheriecity

In the springtime, I love to take long walks in the park and pick up some blooms from Columbia Road Flower Market to brighten up my home.

Flowers are such an instant mood lifter and it’s such a lovely feeling to give or receive a beautiful bouquet. Peonies are my favourite flowers, but I also adore hydrangeas, vintage roses and sunflowers.

The Flower Council of Holland invited me to take part in their challenge on Facebook to guess a friend’s favourite flower and have the chance to win a bouquet of flowers.

It’s often said that the friendships that you make at university are the ones that really last. I was lucky to have an amazing group of girls around me to experience the best and worst of uni life and among them was my best friend Coralie, who now lives in Paris.

We first met over lunch with friends from my French class at Glasgow University where Coralie was on her Erasmus placement and I was in my second year. Since then we’ve had all sorts of adventures including a fun trip to Barcelona and countless festivals, DJing together at our club night in Glasgow and spending hours just chatting away, whether in a restaurant or simply perched on a park bench.

A trip to Paris never feels complete unless we’ve had a catch up. Luckily for us last month it was over breakfast in the glamorous setting of Le Bristol, one of our favourite Paris hotels.

Here are a few questions I’ve answered about Coralie’s favourite things…

What is my friend’s favourite cafe?

Le Loire dans la Théière in Paris

What’s my friends’ favourite place to shop?

Small and trendy shops in Le Marais

What’s my friend’s favourite city?

New York

What’s my friend’s favourite movie?

Singin’ in the Rain

What’s my friend’s favourite flower?

Viola

What’s my friend’s favourite fragrance?

Frangipani flower

How well do you know your best friend? Could you guess their favourite flower? Enter the Flower Council of Holland Facebook challenge and if you guess correctly, you could win a stunning bouquet of flowers.

I nominate Hungry Becs and Cellophaneland* to do the challenge and see if they can guess their best friend’s favourite blooms.

WIN A Stress-Free Trip To Stobo Castle, Scotland

February 26, 2013 by cheriecity

I’m a firm believer that a relaxing holiday is great for the body and soul, leaving you refreshed and ready to take on the world on your return. AXA PPP healthcare confirms this with research into reducing every day and work related stress.

According to a recent survey, one in every four adults experiences stress on a daily basis. Major life changes such as bereavement, moving house, divorce and even happy occasions including marriage or a new baby can trigger stress. Sometimes the cause of stress is difficult to pinpoint and can lead to feeling overwhelmed and anxious.

Symptoms of stress can show themselves in a number of ways, from poor sleep and loss of energy to mood swings and a feeling of loss of control. Avoiding and managing stress as it occurs can benefit your long-term health and help re-balance your life. One helpful stress-reliever is to remove yourself from the daily grind and indulge in a little ‘me-time’ with a holiday or short weekend break.

AXA PPP is offering one lucky winner a luxurious stay for two for 2 nights at the five-star Stobo Castle in Scotland – organised by Visit Scotland.

Included in the stay is a complimentary back massage and access to the spa facilities, access to guided country walks, evening activities and optional fitness classes. Meals are also offered, from dinner on the day of arrival to lunch before departure, plus £200 spending money and £200 towards the cost of travel.

To enter the competition to win this relaxing stay, visit Facebook.

Charlotte Cory’s Cabinet Of Christmas Curiosities

December 3, 2012 by cheriecity

For unique, quirky festive gifts that you can’t find on the high street, Charlotte Cory’s Cabinet of Christmas Curiosities should be top of your list. London-based artist Charlotte Cory’s work is all about English eccentricity, combining Victorian imagery with taxidermy to create exquisite artwork, homeware and accessories.

Charlotte Cory has pieces hanging in the House of Windsor and on Alan Carr’s Chatty Man and Liam Howlett of The Prodigy is a fan. Her work usually features at The Green Parrot Gallery in the ‘artisan quarter’ of Greenwich, but for one week only, you can see her pieces, more conveniently, in the heart of Fitzrovia, central London.

The cabinet is full of inspiring, hand-made gifts such as Charlotte Cory playing cards, illustrated china mugs, leather notebooks, silk handkerchiefs, brooches, lockets and even ‘ruffled’ (stuffed) animals. Alongside Charlotte Cory at the Cabinet of Curiosities are like-minded artists including Josephine Hague, Emily Hoffnung, Keren Luchtenstein, Paddy Robinson, Willy Smaxs and Lucy Temple.

One of my favourite Charlotte Cory gifts is the trio of stunning Christmas mugs, designed to reflect the ritualistic devouring of the traditional Christmas Pudding – before, during and after. Whether the mugs are filled with coffee, mulled wine or a nip of whisky is up to you!

The Cabinet of Curiosities will run from 17-23 December at The Framer’s Gallery, 36 Windmill Street, London, W1T 2JT

For more information, visit: www.theframersgallery.co.uk and www.charlottecory.com
