My Place and Yours :: On The Shelf

Everybody else is playing along on this lazy weekend, so I thought I'd join in too.

I had a lovely little relaxing crafternoon (and cappucino) at Bec's house yesterday, so today I've been cleaning up and catching up on the massive pile of dirty washing in my laundry - I'm up to my fifth load for the day.....

This little set of shelves was in my bathroom at my old house, but now it lives in the corner of the kitchen right next to the sliding door. I haven't organised it at all, I've just plonked special little things in there bit by bit....

I still have many more special things packed in boxes that I haven't yet found, and I've been here for eight months now - all in good time I suppose.

From the top:

CurlyPops embroidery from Missie Krissie
Fabric covered tea light candle holder - housewarming pressie from Hoppo Bumpo
Scented Candle - Blueberry
Tea Cups and Coffee Cups collected from various oppies
Esther Bunny from Little Black Crow
More candles
Ugly clock that has sentimental value (21st birthday gift from my Nana)
Glass whale ornament - had it for years - I think my mum gave it to me

Well that's it - hope everyone is having a lovely weekend..... it's back to the washing for me!

Of course the cups and the Nanna clock are my faves of your lovely things!! My Nan always buys me extremely large underpants (bigger ones each year) and teatowels and handbags that are very stiff and shiny! Nannas are funny like that, hey?! I'm so pleased you played! Hurrah! x

What a fabulous home for Esther. A cosy little nook all for herself. Now more than ever I'm determined to buy one...or two.

Ha, that makes me laugh! I have a clock exactly the same that was a 21st present too...! Shelves look great by the way.
