Morning's Light

One of the most stylish people I know, Stacey, introduced me to the book Pure Style by Jane Cumberbatch years ago after I asked her the secret to her gorgeous bedroom in a house she shared with many housemates. As in, how did she create such an oasis in such a busy household?!  In reply, Stacey loaned me the book Pure Style, and I fell in love with it.

Did you know there's a Pure Style blog?  It's refreshing to read, full of photos from Jane's home and garden, and tidbits to help you live a pure style life.  Some of her tips include:

• Buy the best ingredients you can afford – good cheese, fish, meat, fruit vegetables, chocolate and wine – and from local sources if you can.
• Make delicious food that is easy to prepare – hearty soups, crisp salads, fruit fools, homemade cakes and biscuits.
  
• Lay the table with fresh linen, simple glasses, and a jug of flowers.
