A MAGICAL MORNING IN THE COTSWOLDS: Thrifting | Book Hunting | Flower Fields | Local Delights

Good morning, my dear hearts. Happy Saturday🤍
Go make yourself a lovely cuppa, sit back, and let your worries melt away and I hope you enjoy my new video.
Today's adventure starts in the charming Cotswolds town of 📍 Charlbury, where we woke up in a 17th-century building that's part pub, part dream. ☺️
For our first anniversary getaway, we chose The Bell at Charlbury to explore new areas and draw inspiration for our work as an interior designer and architect team running our own studio in the Cotswolds. Surrounded by such beauty, I can't help but find endless inspiration. 🏡
🌱 The Meadow Room: This room retains its original features, lovingly restored with local upcycled materials. We really appreciate seeing historic buildings revived with sustainability in mind. The four-poster bed, upholstered in blue and white fabrics, paired with bespoke botanical wallpaper by a Cotswolds block print artist James Randolph Rogers, www.instagram....
and a canopy designed by Hugo Guinnes, made the room dreamy. Gazing out the window at the picturesque view was the highlight of my day. www.thebellatc...
💭 Slow Morning Routine: I began my day slowly with organic tea and journaling. The sunlight streaming through the window was too inviting to resist, so I quickly dressed in a midi white dress, a preloved Hermes belt, and my beloved tan flats. Equipped with my Vivo barefoot shoes for potential adventures, I completed the look with a floral hair bow and a pearl necklace gifted from my grandma. Links below 👇🏽
🥞 Finding my way through narrow corridors and staircases to the breakfast area, the comforting scent of wood burning from the pubs inglenook fireplaces lingered. My husband found a cozy spot for us to enjoy coffee and scrumptious toasts before heading out for our "slow errands", as I like to call them.
1st Stop: We found a lovely footpath leading to Charlbury, full of summer wildflowers, perfect for a morning stroll.
2nd Stop: 📍 Chipping Norton - Charity shops for some thrifting. More shopping spots on my TikTok account.

3rd Stop: The lovely bookstore of Jaffe & Neale, 📍 Market Square, Chipping Norton. A perfect place to immerse in great books and enjoy friendly chats.
Off to an early lunch, we passed by Chippy Flower Farm 📍 Little Tew, a naturally grown cut flower farm. Although closed, the lovely ladies 👩🏻‍🌾 let us explore the farm, and I was thrilled to find fragrant sweet peas, my favorite flowers.
Next, we headed to 📍 Great Tew, stopping to admire the spectacular views and an adorable greenhouse that provided huge inspiration.
Just before the rain started, we popped into the cozy 📍 Quince and Clover cafe, formerly the old post office. Now, it's a lovely spot for enjoying local, seasonal food, delicious pastries, and amazing salads. We strolled around, admiring beautiful thatched cottages and alleyways.
Finally, we returned to the pub for afternoon tea, ending our day with a bird's eye view of the beautiful Charlbury and St. Mary's Church.
Hope you enjoyed this video and our 'slow errands' morning. I'd love to share more with you. Please give this video your love and subscribe 🔔 for more-it means the world to me.
