The Perfect Jewellery Box

Two sundays ago husband and I went to Lim's Arts and Living at Holland Village to spend off the last of our wedding vouchers. I'm not a big fan of the shop as most of the products lean towards the more traditional so-called Oriental look but I did find the perfect jellwery box with a simple clasp. It was the most unadorned and decorated wooden box there was, which was perfect for me of course

Stangelets

It's so difficult finding nice quirky things to fill your house with - designs that don't fit snugly into one category - balinese, minimalist, etc. so I really loved that Stranglets opened just as we were setting up house. They have just the appropriate designs to add a little spark in the corner and it's a great place to buy gifts. There are many items that I'm eyeing but for now one item we've bought is the Anglopoise 75 lamp for my study table - I admit that one day I would love the orignal Angloposie 1227 - but then again there are so many lamps that I love it would be really hard to choose. If I were a quirky collector of something - like how some people collect toy figurines or teapots, I think I would be a good contender for Collector of Lamp Fixtures.

The best saturday mornings are when we can lie in bed for longer and sit around reading every section of the newspapers. We were on a tea pot frenzy this month as i was going to have friends over. So we bought this teapot from muji which goes so pretty with my dragonfly tea cup from japan.

everybody needs a small tea cup with dragonflies.
