Additions

Howdy! It’s Friday and almost the weekend, wooo! I have been a lucky lady of late. My recent birthday led me to acquire some rather nice bits and pieces, so I thought I’d share a few here. The Marimekko ‘In Good Company’ bowl was on my wishlist from the minute I laid eyes on it. It’s so nice to finally own one.

I am happy to have two Donna Wilson tumblers in-da-house now. A bit too nice to use (and scared I’ll break one) they’re just kind of ‘around’ in the kitchen at the moment! Also, the Marimekko tin is housing my biscuits (I was having a biscuit tin nightmare before). Solved....or maybe I should just not eat biscuits....ummmm, meh!

Finally, the Plattan tray. Like the Marimekko bowl, I had admired it from afar for a long time. Unable to find anywhere that delivered to the UK (it’s hard when many of the things you like are only available in places like Sweden and Finland), I had a brainwave and contacted my blog friend Ulrika. She very kindly got hold of one and posted it to my London home. What a nice lady! She sent a little extra something too, which I will show you next week (it’s unbelievably cool)!

So there we are, a few bits and bobs. Enjoy your weekends :)

P.S. If you head over to m’friend Famapa’s blog, you can see a few pics from our lunch yesterday :)

  2. Hi, Belated Happy Birthday! It was my birthday this week too. All the best people are born in October, (I can say that as my boyfriend is an October baby too, I'd of been in trouble otherwise!) Hope you had a great day. You definitely scored some fab pressies.

  4. Ha! How funny, I just read down a few posts and see that your birthday wan't in fact this week but in September - so I change my last comment to "all the best people have autumn birthdays!"

    I should keep more up to date with the blogs I like shouldn't I?!
