a pair of vintage ostrich leg lamps. yours for £150.




a porcelain finger oil lamp. yours for a much more bargainous £2.99.

herbs in the 'burbs [and other sunny shots]

i am so glad i bought a house with a garden. whilst flats in the west end are beautiful and i miss my old one with its basement patio, i have to say that my sunny south facing garden makes me happy every day. i am planning on creating a cross between country garden and wild meadow plants - hopefully easy to keep. have potted up some herbs [which will only do well if i don't end up using them all in cooking before they bed in] planned other flowers to plant in and even bought a hose - a first time ever purchase...

yep, loving the garden. especially with the stunning weather at the moment and when swingball is out.


herbs in the burbs - garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, mint, coriander and lavender
