Patrina my husband is astronomy mad, he would love it! 😁

Sam, love a coffee table book! 😁

Ha ha another book for me as well Sam! I need to stay out of Homesense. I'm like a toddler on haribos!

Love that Patrina. I do hope it's for a velux window or skylight in a loft conversion, like he's dropping in for a coffee😂☕

Wish it was Jules but alas he lives on my dark painted office wall. However, I did say to hubby that it would be cool in a loft conversion :-) hint hint 😁 For now he will keep my company when I am working from home.

😂 Love it Patrina!!

Love the pic patrina, as you know I’ve got a few space bits and pieces, love them :-)

Sooooo before Xmas, expecting a grim and chilly January and February, I splashed out on a new set of snuggly, brushed cotton flannelette bedding.

Needless to say the weather in my neck of the woods has been positively mild and far from grim and chilly, so it's all still in it's packaging. **eyeroll

Rather chuffed with my latest ‘impulse’ buy.

Thanks to some loyalty points discount, I ordered this original oil painting, framed and all for the princely sum of £65.

Can’t wait to find a good spot for it. Probably in the bedroom, which is slowly but surely turning into an artful celebration of the female species. 😊

She’s lovely E D. So you got this lovely lady from Sainsburys with your Nectar points? 😊

House plants! We just cant resist a bit of fresh greenery at the moment and that would be our impulse buy!

Three little monks, they mean: don't look. No listen. No mention.

They are beautiful.

Thanks @ JAMEITE Hand-painted Silk Wallpaper. I think my mom refers to them as See no evil, Hear no evil ans Speak no evil. They now live on our bookshelves in our home office 😁

Haha Sonia, no Nectar points but a similar, albeit much more generous loyalty points system from online art company Sulis.

By just logging in daily and having bought from them before (already at low prices) I earned £30 in discount vouchers and already on my way to my next tenner. 🤗

There you go. My secret’s out... 😮😊

Sounds great E D - I’m always a devotee of a discount! 👍

Sounds great to me E D 😁

Bought today from my fav local junk shop for £40.00. We were going to take the feet off and hang it on the bedroom wall, might leave it as it is and then I can turn it round as the other side is diff.

OK @Mary Mary I am thinking I want to start having a mooch around the junk shop you go to 😁

Your welcome Patrina it’s in Ludlow, a very wet Ludlow at the moment 💦💧

@Mary Mary or maybe not it would be an epic joirney just for a mooch around lol

What say you about these 75cm high, bought on a whim, wind chimes?

Put in a cheeky offer for it on EBay and it got accepted. 😱

I’m in two minds, one minute I like it the next I don’t.

I like the look, but also feel it may be too prominent, drawing too much attention to itself.

To put it into context, the mirror may look smaller in the photos, but it’s a generous 120cm diameter.

Over to you, yay or nay? 😊

E D its sheer perfection. I do not think it looks out of place or demanding too much attention, but it might need something a little larger in scale where the other ornament is for balance. I love it. Clever you for finding it and I love, love, love that lacquered sideboard.

Looks fantastic E D I love pieces like this. Nice Find 😁

Definitely yay!

Yay

Yay! Wish we could hear it!!

Oh it’s lovely E D. I’ve never seen anything like it. I also love the painted cupboard and that lovely mirror. Thumbs up! 👍👍👍

Thanks for your kind words everyone! 😊

Jules it does sound very nice. I will probably use it in some recording or other, so who knows, you may hear it one day... 🎶😄

Been experimenting with its position and other items around it but I actually have been meaning to get rid of clutter and not add to it.

On its own it probably looks best anyway but I still feel it wants to be the centrepiece too much.

The sideboard is too high for it, it seems, but I have nowhere else to put it.

What does it look like in the middle E D ? I feel it would work well as it comes down in layers and wouldn't block the mirror as its quite sheer in appearance. Would need something either side though so that might not be what you want.

Monica, I did try it in the middle, but it looked too much like a sort of altar that way

Actually In the photo it doesn’t look bad...

Oooh you know what?? I much prefer it there though. Does it bother you ?? The mirror grounds it and it makes more sense, also works with your other ornaments <3

Yes, it’s certainly better balanced.

And it probably does need ‘stuff’ around it... 🤔🥺

I LOVE stuff LOL

Me too 😂

I always THINK I want to get rid of stuff, but maybe I should just admit (to myself) I’m not a minimalist...

Homes look better with stuff.

Ok, I’m gonna live with it like this for a while...

Well, that ‘while’ was short lived! 😊

Can you spot it? 😄

LOL

It’s in the naughty corner.....😊

Two chairs bought at our local salvage yard £72.00 the pair. Even comfy.

My latest little Facebay buy, a pair of brass bookends. Needs a bit of polishing but I really like them.

I love eBay 😂

Does 4 bottles of gin count? They are for the house.

🤣

Victoria, I'm envious...

Actually, of your under stairs storage!

Thanks @E D 😊

oh and I do like the skis. What are your plans for it?

Well, I was aiming for exterior Christmas decor but my OH thinks they will get stolen 😢

Victoria you’ve prompted a search for a vintage wooden sledge (for about the 5th year running!)

Could you not secure them somehow?!

Possibly. I’ve also got vintage skates, and a sled OH made about 35 years ago.

Your Skis remind me of my Ski trip to France earlier this year @Victoria all the vintage Ski equipment on the Chalet walls 😁 seems like a thousand years ago now with this lockdown.
