Whenever I go away somewhere, I always have to pick a little something up......just to remind myself of a good time away somewhere. Last weekend wasn't really a weekend for shopping, but I managed to find a little toadstool staring at me on a shop shelf. I could hear its tiny little voice trying to be heard above the chatter in the shop. 'Here I am, come and get me, I will feel so at home back at your house.'. So, into my hand it went........
............and I didn't want it to be all lonely in my house, so its mate came with us too!
Bright and cheery and they tell me they are very happy here with me on the shelf.
I have had my eye on a pair of toadstool salt and pepper shakers for quite a while. When I, by chance, saw these little beauties staring at me through a window, I knew they had to be mine. A little different to the ones I had had my eye on, but the different was a good different. I liked how the salt and pepper were slightly different in shape. So a red & white little knick knack weekend of purchases.....
....and there is no break away without a few sticks of rock is there! he he
Happy Wednesday all

Very cute little toadstools, glad it isn't just me who imagines inanimate objects talk to them...ahem. Moving on......
ReplyDeleteYou don't seem to come up in my blog feed, weird, so missed this and the previous post.
Gorgeous pics and hope all well round at yours.
Gem x xx
Love the toadstools!!
ReplyDeleteI bet you bought the rock at the same shop in Swanage we did, we got cola for the boys and aniseed for me (I was confused because I remember aniseed rock being yellow & brown stripes, but that was banana - the aniseed was red!!) - Mr G doesn't like rock, how can that be?

Lol :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one hearing voices from shop windows ;)
All those toadstools look very charming and your home is just a place for them to be (even though, I could host them as well)
Hello Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteVery cute, I do love your taste in things!
Well with yours, Kazzy's and JoJos, it has been toadstool week. When I first saw this post, I thought it was a Kazzy one.
ReplyDeleteIlike the fact that the salt and pepper shaker are different. It is these little sweet idiosyncrasies that make a home. But you definitely need a pixie or fairy to perch on one. Go on, go on, go on.
