The holidays are here at long last and we have had a great weekend doing very little and watching Glastonbury and looking out for my dear husband who took himself off there at 5.45am on Thursday morning. Little did he know that the bus was going to take til 9pm to get there. From our brief chats he forgot about the journey there pretty quickly, he has not made it back yet, we are looking forward to seeing him soon.
The Regeneration
While he was away we got hall and stair carpet so I guess we are finished the actual works upstairs. There is an overwhelming amount left to do downstairs but, hey, what’s new!
Just thought I’d share a spontaneous purchase with you from this Saturday. It happened when I did a quick ‘stop and run’ to collect my copy of Mid Century Magazine issue 5 from Moleta Munro on Jeffrey Street . Whilst in the shop, my eye drifted round the shop past the gorgeous wishbone chairs and landed on this super little table that fits into the space between my bed and the wall perfectly. I am so pleased with it – it is the first thing I’ve bought for up there. Still no wardrobes!
Rushing again, out again for dinner, this time it’s Peter’s Yard in Stockbridge, Peter’s Yard. Report coming soon, x
We have carpet in all the bedrooms now. At last, it took lots of phoning and checking but it is here. Everything is getting closer to completetion upstairs but the mess downstairs has become quite overwhelming. That’s another story.
At least my new bedroom is clean, clear and tidy!
It took a lot of effort to get our trusty bed up there, the quilt cover is brand new and I absolutely love it. Any guesses who it is by? The furniture conundrum continues but I am now content to use what we have and scour gumbay for what we need, not that I know what that is yet. There are a couple of recent purchases I must show you once I’ve got them in situ, another another story.
Other Stuff
Rice do great colourful, practical and unusual items and are based in Denmark. These bowls and plates were bought in the Ness sale in darkest winter and I found them under my bed (with 1000 other things including lots of dust). Have a look at their delightful website here. The coloured glasses are another favourite of mine, I have large and small in lots of colours and recommmend them wholeheartedly. cups in previous post
Rice bowls and plates
I am trying out a different theme for the blog tonight, I’m not sure if it will stay or go, what do you think?
