Feathering my Nest...

With all the chaos, dust and drama going on here at "Chez Cheese" - I have managed an escapism that isn't complete procrastination ( please note I added the complete there) I am so enjoying looking, researching, choosing and of course buying new things as well as "upcycling" ( dont' you just love that term?) some older stuff that we have lying around here - all in the effort to bring some life and positive energy back into our home.

I will do a final post later of the finished product ( although are renovations/maintenance ever finished??) - and because I feel that may be some time before it's done -  I thought I'd show you some of things I have acquired along the way - things that make me smile and represent a little corner of our world ... for various reasons.


I found this little stand quite by accident, but it spoke to me...
so I answered!

2 days later I found this tin plaque - and I knew the perfect spot for it!

Isn't this the sweetest thing? Haven't completely decided where she's going to reside,
but she's very pretty!

My Granny's vase that I pulled out of a packing box.. a perfect vessel to display my daisies

 I admired this fruit bowl before we decided we were renovating the kitchen...
 so when we did,I bought it!

My Mother's Day present - so spoilt!

An oldie but a goodie - I love this colour and want to add more to the kitchen.
Have heard a rumour that Donna Hay has expanded her range recently.....


 I found a little stone birdie to go in here yesterday, no photo yet though

I know, I'm sad... I get excited about nice tea towels

I actually bought these 2 years ago, but never hung them. My laundry and toilet downstairs
are now a lovely rich Olive Green... I think these have a new home

 
I like to think of these things as ...... pieces of a jigsaw - that when put together will help to contribute to the bigger picture that is our home.
