Happy Tuesday & Coastal Living Giveaway




all images from Coastal Living November 2009 Issue Out Now

It's that time again. For my review of the latest issue of Coastal Living Magazine (November 2009). And of course my monthly giveaway of the latest issue. Just leave a comment below for your chance to win a copy. Posted anywhere in the world!
This month I just adore the home of Emmy Award winner Sherry Bilsing. A Californian bungalow full of vintage finds and quirky collections. My favourite things about the home are the collection of vintage globes in the living area and the cane arm chairs at the dining table. What a fabulously inviting place. The kind that begs you to come inside, sit down for chat, and maybe a drink...... I just love this style of casual decorating.
Don't forget you can win a copy of this months Coastal Living magazine with Sherry's home inside and loads of other fabulous articles by leaving a comment on this post. Winner drawn this Friday 5th Nov.
Other Coastal Living reviewers are: Maya Completely Coastal, Lisa from Coastal Nest & Layla and Kevin from The Lettered Cottage.

    One of the most important items necessary to living along the coast, are cane chairs.
    Or any chair that can survive the mist, inside or out.

    Being the winner from last month's competition, I just wanted to pop in and say how much I enjoyed Coastal Living. Thank you so much Simone, this next edition looks stunning too!

    The cover image makes me want to do a little Tom Cruise, Bryan Brown 'Cocktail' kinda thing and the white cane chairs in the 2nd image are just divine.

    Thanks again for the issue from last month - loved every little page :o)
