Hello and welcome!

Two Little Dicky Birds is a collection of things that I love, be it interior design, decor, food, travel, art or craft.

In April 2006, my husband and I purchased our first home and spent four years redecorating. It was such a rewarding process, and fuelled a love of interiors, which is now driven by an obsession with decor blogs!

During April 2009, we moved on from our beloved miner's cottage, to a new family home, where we have been chipping away at renovating and redecorating, all the while raising our two little dicky birds, Noah (3) and Sam (9 months).

My two beautiful boys have ignited a long-forgotten love of photography, which you'll find me dabbling in on a daily basis.

I hope you stay and have a look around. You'll find a selection of just some of the things that inspire me, and hopefully something that inspires you too!

This Week

I am…

…loving this space from the home of Dottie Angel herself, Tif Fussell. The Orla Kiely wallpaper is in itself is enough to win me over, but everything else is so sweet and perfect too. I wish I was cool and styling enough to pull this off. Alas…

…inspired by Aran of Cannelle Et Vanille. Beautiful recipes, breathtaking photography. Aran is crazy talented, it’s always a treat to visit.

…making time to wrap Christmas presents (gasp!). I know it’s still October, but I’m heading off to New Zealand soon and all my shopping and wrapping of gifts needs to be finished by November.

…looking forward to some “me time” tomorrow. I’m off to have my hair cut and coloured. Then its back to gift wrapping and quilt making…

…and dishes and house cleaning and washing…

Hope your weekend is a good one, full of fun activities and an absence of washing!

Share and Enjoy!

I love the stool in that first image! Thank you for introducing me to Aran’s gorgeous blog!! Just popped across to have a look and her photography is amazing! Food photography is something I’d love to be better at so I can share more recipes I try out on my blog. I love the way you’ve wrapped your presents and the soft blue paper is lovely. Those buttons are SO effective. You are so creative Abby – I can’t believe your profession is not in the art field. Enjoy your afternoon/evening x

I love all the wrapping paper and decoration you do on your Christmas gift! I would hate to undo the wrapping if I get a gift like that. It looks too pretty to open! I love the rain deer decor on the gift. I think you are a talented photographer yourself. I second Amanda about your profession. You’re very creative and artistic! Thanks for posting pictures of cannelle et vanille. I just went to her blog. Aran is very talented! My favorite food blogger is Nordljus (http://www.nordljus.co.uk/) and both women make me think that there are mind blowing talented people in the world.
