Oh dear the weather is absolutely atrocious here today! It looks more like mid winter out there rather than 'flaming' June. The garden is looking very sad and wet :( How is it in your patch?
To cheer ourselves up I took the children to visit their Grandma at work. My mum has just started working in a new antiques shop not far from us and I wanted to go and have a little nose around. We also met up with my sister.
There was lots of lovely bunting up!

Another reason for the trip was to pick up these.................
I collect these lovely old bevelled mirrors and have them going up my staircase. They are not always easy to come by so when Mum mentioned them I jumped at the chance to bring them home!
Love this kidney shape!

These are the ones I have on my stairs at the moment, please forgive the poor pictures but it's not the easiest place to photograph :)
This is one of my favourites - I love the scalloped shape!
And this pretty Barbola mirror, picked up for the bargain price of £4.
Such sweet little flowers!
Righto, off to make the dinner now, hoping for some sunshine tomorrow as I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of some more plants for the garden!

Weather update in the north: rain, rain, more rain, oh and cold too! Love your mirror display, I have 5 on my bathroom wall but need a couple more. How do yours not have little fingerprints on them, they look lovely and shiny, have a lovely weekend, Claire xxx
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is the same as yours. I totally agree it does feel more like winter then June. I do hope the sun will start to peak out soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your mirrors..I have a small collection of bevelled mirrors as well (I just adore the look of them). The barbola mirror is just lovely, great price as well!

Oh isn't this rain just awful? Thank you i'm a bit of an obsessive when it comes to cleaning :) plus they go up the staircase so the littles don't really get access :)
