She sits snug inside her antique throne, rhythmically beating tunes of excitement upon its wooden top. Prepared with love, consideration and fresh garden greens, she curiously observes her unveiling meal. Along its journey, many ingredients are sampled, some met with pleasure, others a turned lip. An entree of blueberries and cheese, her fail-safe favourites, provides the perfect distraction whilst the warming frypan sizzles above. Placed just within reach, golden morsels make their way to her lips and are quickly devoured. Endlessly eager for more.
With delicate florals draping her body, her sweet, aproned bib becomes one with her vintage wears. Seamlessly they meld, offering protection from abandoned crumbs, stray drips and fervent hands - hands which usually are so quick to remove even the most resilient of garments. This delight however, remains unnoticed; a testament to its subtlety, softness and pure comfort. With such a stylish pinny, complimenting both her modern wardrobe pieces and growing thrifted collection, there is hardly need to remove it once meal time is complete. A beautiful extension to the everyday.

the happy nest.
I first stumbled upon the delights of the happy nest two years ago at an annual market held in my local town. Instantly, I fell in love with their beautiful, handmade wares - crafted by gorgeous Amy - a busy stay-at-home mother of two fabulous boys. Her eye for design and impeccable quality was undeniable. The most covetable, stylish fabrics were stitched and bound to create both modern and vintage-style pieces; pieces reminiscent of an enchanting childhood. Each one unique and flawlessly executed.
Over the coming month, the happy nest is generously offering Fields of Sage readers an exclusive 15% off their entire store when entering 'fieldsofsage15' at the checkout (excluding play tents). A perfect opportunity to indulge in a little something for the wee one!
