On a Monday I write a post, that includes some of the things that we love at The Ana Mum Diary. I’ve called it ‘I Love Mondays’ a kind of antithesis to the ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’ hit by the Boomtown Rats. I plan on helping rid the Monday blues with beautiful things. I will virtual shop for your every need. Perhaps introducing you to something that you may have not seen or been to before. You are in good hands, sit back and grab a cuppa.
On that note, how about this autumnal mug from Heals for £9.50. 
I love a new mug, and I’m always on the look out for them, and this one is educational with all the names of the trees! 😉
It’s all about the geometric in wall paper trends this autumn, and there are some gorgeous ones about. I love this wallpaper by Cole and Son called Bali. It reminded me of early Autumn when the leaves are just changing colour.
Perhaps a little too heavily patterned for a whole room, but I would love this, in a smaller room, like a utility room. Or as a headboard at the back of a bed. It’s muted in tone, so I think it makes it a more useable option.
On the Cole and Son site, they actually cover a piece of furniture in the wall paper. I love this idea!
My third item is by an artist named Mark Hall.
He has done many of these bronze sculptures of conkers. I think I first saw them last year whilst I was in Devon, and completely fell in love with them. They are made of bronze are limited edition and come in various sizes. This one is wittily entitled Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Priced at £285 its a limited edition of 250 pieces. They are truly beautiful!
And finally how about a this autumnal orange chair from John Lewis. I can just imagine curling up with a good book by the fire.
It look so tactile with the velvet covering and multicoloured buttons. The black gloss turned legs with chrome castors, just look so elegant! it’s priced at £999 so definitely an investment. But for me I think it will not age like some styles, the shape is very classic with the high back and curve to the arm.
Well that’s today Autumnal inspired I Love Mondays post.
Thank you for reading
Nice to see this back – yeh and I would love the chair in yellow
Ooh yellow would be lovely!
Wow that chair is so lovely, not sure about orange though maybe a nice green?
I don’t think I have ever seen anything like those conker sculptures, they are beautiful x
I’m so glad you like the conkers, honestly the photograph doesn’t do them justice. In real life they’re even more beautiful! Green would be gorgeous….maybe in my conservatory *day dreams*
Love that chair! And the conkers sculpture is so mad, yet so cool! A great feature to brighten our Monday mornings 🙂
Thank you Jen! I’m really loving the research for the I Love Mondays feature. Retail therapy without the spending 😉
I’m feeling all Autumnal now too. I love this collection you’ve put together. I’ve always wanted an orange chair, this looks perfect. Do you know I think I’m going to buy it!
This was a perfect day to for online retail therapy with all that autumnal weather. In loving the tree mug and then orange chair. Could just do with the peace and quiet to read a book lol! Xxx
Me too, and some time to appreciate it! 🙂
