Top shelf: Mr V’s Buddhas; the carriage clock his parents gave us when we got engaged (did you know this was a tradition? I didn’t); a teeny vintage suitcase my mum bought me in a French brocante; a little wooden box we bought on our first camping trip. Bottom shelf: my engagement sewing box (I wonder how many people have one of them? It still has the note and ring box in it); a serving bowl I bought in a charity shop.

A sunny spot in the new flat; an old angelpoise lamp; my grandmother’s kitchen table; some old school chairs mum bought in Holland in the sixties; lilies and daffodils; some stunning china mr v gave me recently (more on this soon!); my framed canvas tote; our oversized date and time clock; a cork board full of pictures. 

Everything is still in flux (uh, the clock isnt staying on the radiator! I’m not too fond of the stack of boxes bottom right) but these are some things making me happy right here and now.

Happy weekend blog friends!
