Cheer Up

I needed some cheering up today.  I've been so busy at work, at home, at my mum's.  STRESS...STRESS....STRESS!

So I decided to buy something bright, something colourful, something purple...Ta-Daaah...

A vibrant Celosia houseplant.  Price £2.99 from Asda.

I jazzed it up by buying a lovely yellow ceramic vase.  It transformed the plant and instantly made me smile.

If you've been feeling down in the dumps lately, how have you cheered yourself up?

Vintage Hanging Letters

Like usual I was browsing during my lunch hour today.  I came across these cute 'Cath Kidston style' decorated letters in B & M.  They were on for a cool £3.99 each.  

 I immediately bought the 'LOVE' and 'HOME' letters, which came with a lovely heart and house piece at the end of each word. 

These would look great in a hallway or in the kitchen, as they have that Home Sweet Home feel to them.

Have you bought any vintage accessories, at low prices?

Rustic Tea Light Holders

I came across these wooden tea light holders a while back at Asda.  They were priced at £4.00 each.  So I decided to wait, hoping that they would be reduced in the summer sale.  

I nipped in today for some fresh flowers and guess what, they were reduced to £1.00 each.... now I'm a happy bunny.

The detail of the wood adds a rustic feel to each piece and would look elegant in any room,  whether your decor is crisp white or shabby to beachy chic.


Do you own any rustic accessories?
