For this side of the world, today’s My Space is more than appropriate. We’re three days into spring and suddenly we are itching to get outside and make our very own space in the garden. It’s a pleasure to introduce my guest today, Emma who authors the lifestyle blog, A Quiet Style which is filled with interior inspiration, fashion, handmade and life with her two beautiful girls. Emma has such a lovely online presence and also a big passion for flowers, which is reflected in her stunning Instagram feed. Enjoy taking a little peek into her courtyard today and do make sure you pop over to her blog to say hi if you haven’t already.

When lovely Mel asked me if I would like to be featured in her My Space column, I knew immediately that I wanted to share a spot in my garden, and although it is different from the usual and I must say absolutely beautiful interiors that Mel usually shares, fortunately she agreed!

As cliched as it sounds, my garden really is my sanctuary, it is a typical City garden so only small but at the tiniest hint of sun, you will find me out there, and ideally I will be doing one of my favourite things, eating cake!  I am an outdoors girl at heart, and a firm believer in the importance of daily Vitamin D, so even without the cake, I try to find the time to just sit at this little spot every day whilst my youngest daughter naps, feel the sun on my face and just breathe.

I often dream of having a lovely big garden, but even so, I do love this little spot,  the table is one of my favourite vintage finds, the chairs are vintage too, but are sadly starting to deteriorate in our variable climate, it is only a matter of time before I fall through one, especially if I continue to eat so much cake!

It is starting to feel like autumn is on its way here in the UK, so I’m off to make the most of my space, thanks so much for having me Mel xx

    It is as pretty as her IG gallery! She is doing such a great styling and photography job there. It’s wonderful to see how she grows on followers every single day and if you see those images you understand why. A really nice surprise having her with you. xx

    Gorgeous! I love to make a nice outdoor space when we’re having friends over. We haven’t eaten out in a while now, though the weather is starting to be kinder. I’ve never been into growing flowers, I prefer to concentrate on growing edibles, but lately I’ve been thinking about buying some plants for their wonderful scent.
