oo i do love that place.. the hubby hates it.. with a passion.. his eyes glaze over from the minute we go through the doors.. and by the time we get to the lighting section he is practically dying!!...
i however could walk around it..go and have a coffee and then have another walk around it but because he is the driver... that ain't never going to happen is it now!!
i was in need of some candles so we went for a "quick"! look round were not only did i go candle crazy but kind of kept to a theme in terms of colour.. this wasn't meant to happen but i loved how my trolley looked!!
here's the little lot all together ..just as we got back in from our shopping trip.. i like how it matches my oilcloth on my dining table as well !!
picked up these lovely two packs of paper napkins.. you can never have enough napkins that's what i say.. and i think they'll come in very handy for a mini makeover of a tiny set of drawers Ive had for ages !!
some red and white lanterns .. we hung them up in the window as i love candle light against glass and i thought it looked quite Swedish in style .. ( OK maybe it doesn't but I'm going through a love affair with all things Nordic at the minute!!)
a new cosy red throw to snuggle up in on these cold nights..
some lovely red candles.. they smell lovely as well .
a close up of my new tray.. this was a complete bargain i thought £2.99 for a lovely big enamel tray..i wish i d bought a few now.. ( ahh shucks will have to go back !!) .. the edging is very pretty isn't it...
we got a coffee table .. now Ive been after a coffee table for ages for my front room but was always a bit nervous about sharp corners and my boys running and banging heads on them and things.. you know how it is!!.. but this is quite safe and although its a little modern for my tastes i like the fact its got that handy little shelf underneath and its quite solid even though its one of their cheapo designs.. so if it does get bashed about by the boys I'm not going to cry about it!!.. think it needs a little table runner and a nice little jug of flowers and some nice books.. ( honestly i can clutter just about anything cant i !!)
i love this planter... once the candles have burnt themselves out .. i shall put some nice herbs in here buy until then i think it looks nice with the candles in!
and finally some more tins ... to add to my tin collection ( which i wasn't aware i had until i came home with these and didn't actually have anywere to put them at first as there was no space!!) i love the navy blue of them on my pale blue dresser and with the touch of red of the lantern next to them.. so bright and cheery..
