The Cloud

We bought our bed in Ikea and it serves the purpose. We sleep well. Well we did. Until a few weeks ago when I was introduced to The Cloud.

And now we sleep even better. So better, that we struggle to get out of the bloody bed! Some would say that that’s not a good find .And I would agree but then again I never found it easy to get out of the bed first place. I am a night bird. Not an early morning one.

Statement: your life changes after you get a topper. Your sleep does.

Mine was bought from John Lewis.  My husband calles our bed The Cloud these days…please try it. You will not regret it.

Such a difference a topper makes.

Highly recommended.

Wine rack

A few weeks ago I went to Kempton rececourse market. I bought a few things and this is one of them. I always stack my wines all over the kitchen, no place special, as long as its handy. 🙂

Now I have my own special place, my new handy wine rack. I prefer red wine in the evening, rose for lunch and white for well, hmmm in between..I guess?

 

 

The buy was from …and it cost £18

Lol

Heart of jars

 

Guilty. I am in a bit of a craze about the glass recently. Particularly jars. I have been collecting vintage wine glasses for  years. And bottles.  But  my recent obsession is : jars. I was first introduced to glass jars when one of our brides decided to use them as decoration for her wedding. She collected quite a few, a year before her wedding and then placed some lovely garden flowers in them.  Very clever & amazingly cheap table centers! It was so DIY! My obsession was born. So in a last year I have collected dolmio sauce  jars, ketchup jars, nesscaffe jars and loads more. I store everything in them. In some  I just store sugar and pasta, in others I have my sewing bits & pieces  while others are just serve the decorative purpuse…

Here is a little tour of my collected jars:

Crazy about cushions

 

The other day I stumbled upon these great bargain cushions from HM, I have ordered two. Pink & lime green to accompany my already tired union jack ones in the lounge. I couldn’t help myself by ordering another cushion  Day & Night Butterflies to go upstairs in my bedroom. Hubby keeps complaining  that we are going to end up like one of those couples who have tens of thousands of cushions on bed, just for the decoration sake. And I ask: What’s wrong with that?!? So every night I make sure to move it to my side of the bed, just in case a single cushion bites him during his precious sleeps.

 

And after
