I have lovely silk and cashmere tops... that I can't get dry cleaned and have douse in Febreze while running late to work. I travel internationally... in steerage. I have a crystal cut decanter... filled with whiskey I won in a raffle.

Crystal cut decanter from Trumpington car boot sale, glasses crystal and silver plated glasses from Essex antique shop, and silver plated tray from Royston market. |
My taste for nice things- designer perfumes, cell phone insurance, country clubs- is not something I can quite provide for myself at the moment so I do what I can with what I have. Scouring charity shops, street markets, family's homes and, of course, Ikea, I have managed to make my new-build home feel a but more old home- with a bit of help from my boyfriend.
Willow wear plates and mugs from Royston charity shop, display cabinet from Ikea, bottles from last weekend |
Through this blog I'd like to share the wonderful things I find in unusual places, post pictures of my dog and things that I have cooked, and maybe opine on current events.
