They’re pretty Jet. I left our festoon lights at our old house and I miss them (they were really too fragile to try and take down and pack)

Yes, these are glass. We have some glass ones right now that I know smash when cooled back up as I smashed tons in a string at Halloween.

I picked up some curtain panels from someone today. I’ll see if I can find them online. Mr J is wary of the boldness but he’d said ‘as long theyre not too twee’ earlier so I took that as read :))

The cushions are from Pottery Barn and I’m so pleased as they were $50 each down to $18.

Poor Mungus. :))

My two have little lights strung up in their bedroom and I’m the only one that switches them on too. They have little pegs to hang photos and stuff from too.

I buy an awful lot of things but none are really show-off worthy, but I feel the need to share this gorgeous price of vintage Cartherineholm that I just picked up for £2!!!

(Not my pic as mines bubblewrapped and needs washing, this is a google search for the same thing)

Oh! I forgot this! A little vintage ceramic spring onion pot, which matches the larger celery pot I already have. 50p - bargain!

OMG! I have a large one which I inherited. You can't get them for less than £50!
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.
