Beans Coffee Shop & Craft and Folk Trend for Interiors

The day started promising but has slowly deteriorated and where I am the sun has gone I believe for the rest of the day.  I on the other hand feel quite bright having visited a lovely Coffee House in Higham Ferrers called Beans.  This coffee house is one of 7 belonging to Beans Coffee Shop Limited and is located in a lovely old building on College Street, Higham Ferrers.  I had my usual Mint Tea (not a big coffee drinker) but they do a great range of coffees, soft drinks and also I can confess to trying one of their Iced Slushy Drinks, very sweet but very nice!  The great thing about Beans is that you can get Free Wifi which for me is a must if I am out and about, I like to keep an eye on the business and emails and make sure I can respond to product queries quickly.

Now I am back in the office aka my study! the proper work starts.  I have been exploring some of the key Home Interior Accessory Trends for 2012 and came across an article on the Channel 4 Website detailing 8 Interior Design Trends for 2012.  The one which caught my eye was the Craft and Folk Trend where good quality, traditional, handmade crafts have made a giant comeback, and thus anything handmade (even if it is shop bought) will give your home the edge.  They were recommending you look out for crocheted items, patchwork and embroidered products.  Welll...  I have a couple of lovely cushions which I believe are right on trend and will give your home and more importantly your sofa that all important handmade / handcrafted look.

The Cushions are from Sass and Belle but are available at Sanibel Home Interiors at great prices with free delivery!
