Mustard with your hot dog?
Colonial Man – from South Africa
J. mum has them inside her porch window . I keep passing them for years but never asked where did she get them from? Her house is filled with stuff like that, random finds. I guess that’s whom J. gets it from. So when we went to South Africa this November, I was pleasantly surprised to find them all over the place. In quirky street markets, in shops, on the side of the streets, on the motorways…just everywhere! What a joy!!! I had to have one! I had to have a few. I satisfied my-self with five in the end! And got the sixth one for Christmas.
Five are in my lounge, three on the window and two next to the telly. I really enjoy looking at them. My own piece of Africa. 🙂

Tin box – Queen Elizabeth
If you don’t know by now, then you should read me harder. I am a sucker for a bargain. And they always seems to find me. I can literally walk trough the door and there they are! Bargains! On my doorstep. Everywhere! I sometimes wish I am a millionaire so I can “adopt” all of them. Unfortunately the truth is a bit different and no, I am not a millionaire.
I especially love to visit flea markets. And antique markets. Well in my case, any market will do.
Hence the reason I just loveeeeeeeeee Spitafield market in East London on Thursdays. Man! you can get some really cool stuff there. This is one of J. finds. It’s nested on my telly stand next to my Colonial Man.
