Quiet Little Things


Smiles from the simplest pleasures this week; rediscovering a little box of feather butterflies, playing with my typewriter, obsessing over the pattern on a preserve spoon from a junk shop, admiring dangly feather earrings I'd forgotten I had, beautifully aged paper against sunlight, sipping from a Disney Princess cup.

A headache I cannot shake has slowed life down a touch, hoping it'll clear off at it's earliest convenience but until then I'm a little more fragile than usual.

  2. such gorgeous photos! Love them. Oh how I love the typewriter. I've got an old one sitting back at my parents house, in my old bedroom. I really should go and get it one day.

    Thank you for your comment. Have to say, I'm pretty excited about my new skirt! It was a dress for so long, but I never wore it. Should have chopped it up and bought a pretty petticoat ages ago!

    Enjoy your evening, and of course, all of your beautiful clutter!

  5. I find it a little scary how similar we are sometimes!! Just this morning I was delighting in the patterns on the cutlery at the thrift store! I picked some spoons which I justified I needed for my work lunches but then spotted a fork with two tiny stars on it and HAD to have it! easy decision at 25cents a piece! Love your photos!

  7. Aw I was actually reminiscing over Disney cups with floaty glitter and confetti inside the other day - I miss my Winnie the Pooh one! Also recalling how every kid had one of those plastic curly wurly straws in the 90s...

  9. Small details, big impact. I love the butterflies.
    Hope the headache clears well in time for the weekend. I hear tea and cake is a good remedy :)

  16. There is nothing more endearing than playing around on a typewriter, however far technology may take us, a typewriter will always have a special place in my heart. Dearest Jem, you quite simply have the best taste in tea cups, and of course a Disney Princess one is right up my street! xxx
