Home is when I'm alone with you...

You don't have to spend a fortune to have your home look a million dollars. My house if full of pretty things, random things, dusty things (yeah, really should look at getting a feather duster), useful things, useless things, too many things, really. I'm not a hoarder. But I do 'collect' things. And looking at one's collections, you notice a few things about the collector. Apparently, I like white ornaments, vases, candle holders. It would also appear that I have an ornithological fascination, and a love for all things retro. Here are some pictures of things I've picked up from around the place...
These are some very cute little lovehearts I picked up for my birthday. Thanks Lisa. x

Plaster bunnies from my mother-in-law. x

Seen so many of these oil burners in those overpriced 'artsy' interiors stores... $2.99 - Chickenfeed! 

My dove, less than $10. But a cute little addition to my kitchen.

Old tonic and perfume bottles - they're everywhere!  And oh-so-cute in my bathroom!

My bedside table. Apparently I love glass too... (and hobnail milk glass!) Lamp from Kmart, picture frame from Target, Vase and Glass accessories from op-shops!

My pride and joy. Chair picked up at an op shop and restored by Moi! 

Glass domes are all through interior mags, this one's from Vinnies!

(Mind the messy kitchen - Japanese maple leaf plate - 20 cents from Vinnies!!)

Little birds. So cute...

My newest addition - an original 1950s Sunbeam Mixmaster - a gift from my amazing man for my birthday. He sure knows me well! x

  2. Thanks Lula. I Just love the idea of things being loved before... Like, someone's Grandma had my doily on her mantelpiece before it ended up on mine. And anything that makes me smile is worthy of being displayed somewhere prominent, to make me smile everyday. Thanks for subscribing... <3 Kat.
