There is this little resale shop close to work, and every so often I spend my lunch break there either looking for something specific (like a good frame e.g.) or just browsing and looking for good deals. Today I bought the adorable ceramic Asian couple (first photo) because it was love at first sight!

Okay, it’s 10 minutes. A dear fabric store closed recently and I bought some nice trim 75% off regular price (sweet). I have enough for curtains, but decided to spare some for a little makeover of these 2 lamps. Quick Hold glue worked perfectly. 

Maybe the color burst that these beads deliver can convert to a little bit of inspiration (should you need some) to color pretty the sometimes drab winter days…

The rain was lovely today and I took a picture of this linden leaf on the windshield of my car…

I received some gift cards for Christmas and decided to use them on a new perfume. So Jimmy Choo it was, and after using it for the past few days I can say this:
To me, it smells overly sweet in a cheap celebrity perfume kind of way, has zero staying power, and nothing unique about it. I guess those tester pages in magazines don’t give out the true face of the fragrance. Good to know. The bottle is beautiful, though, and looks very lux in my bathroom. So, that’s a plus. It’s not a big plus but it is an aesthetically pleasing plus.
