Or like me, would you rather have the tea set or the table cloth?!

cushion crush

.

Why why do i look for cushions on eBay when i know i will find one i want and i don't have enough furniture for any more...! It must be a defect in my brain. Now i have that familiar lusting feeling and am sitting here wondering where i can put another one... or two....

cushion comfort

I have been missing again.... this time due to mild flu (or maybe just a bad cold...) and then followed by a sick bug :(

.

Poor me, so i decided i needed some cushion therapy.... latest purchase below from ebay shop scary canary, handmade using 60's fabric and there are more available if it takes anyones fancy. So i think this is my final new cushion for the lounge, see my previous 2 here.

.

Is it really strange that i am SO excited to receive this?! I love it :)

clutterbug

Officially this is clutter, isn't it? I want it all, but in my little house these things do look just like clutter. Very pretty clutter though...

ebay therapy

Nothing like a bit of retail therapy to cheer a girl up, especially when ebay's involved... my obsession for vintage cushions has kicked in again! I've just bought the top two and am pondering on the third...

sunday thifting

I don't seem to go to many car boots anymore but my friends had a pitch so i thought i'd go along and give moral support (and hunt for a bargain...), it was worth going if only for a few little things...

.
1950's magazine rack, only 30p....
.

black vintage owl trivets, only 15p each....

Coloured glass ashtrays, 50p each....

Not from the car boot today but whilst i had my camera out i thought i'd take a couple of snaps of my latest ebay purchases...

.

mod shift dress £4.99 from aurore vintage ebay shop in poitou charentes, france

collective thinking

I obsessively love so many beautiful things that i could quite easily have neverending collections of 'stuff'. So really i don't collect anything, actually no - i collect pictures of beautiful things and put them on this blog!

.

My mum collects thimbles in a big way which i don't think is a good obsession to have (oh yeah family joke). Are there any quirky collectors out there?
