Pleasures.......









I feel easily irritated at the moment......and fickle.

So, today, less words (I'm afraid I'd be quite moany) and simply pictures of pleasures this week.



Chocolate Salami. My 'Non Baking' efforts. A little slice with a cup of tea. Nice.



Spring Magazines.



Colourful Brooch Posy.



Spoon Love.



The same little shop I got these spoons in from several years ago, had a few more on my Christmas visit. I added to the collection. They are simply the daintiest spoons I have ever come across.



Floral love.



Jam Love. I'm not crazy. I have crafty plans for these mini jars.



Yarn Love. The most PERFECT shade.



Packaging Love. I'm a sucker. 



Told you I was a sucker.



I c.a.n.n.o.t resist



Sigh.......



Cloud Love. I LOVE clouds. My head is always in them, so why not?

Ahhhhh I am calmer now!

  8. My week was really shitty but your lovely pictures put a smile to my face :)
    They look so soft, airy and I can almost feel a hint of spring in them. And oh yeah, that yarn looks super nice. I'm really into icy blues lately...
    Code word "packaging love": I have a really bad addiction to pretty packings and product designs myself. My boyfriend always rolls his eyes when I grab at something that simply looks pretty...even if I don't need it. Oh well that are those little things that make life lovable.

    Have a great weekend :)
    And thank you so much for all your great comments at my tiny blog!

  12. I too am a sucker for pretty packaging and whenever I'm in a store with paper-wrapped luxury soaps, I have to smell every single one and examine all the wrappers.

  16. I love the fancy soaps too and am always buying them. They make great gifts with a little crochet or knit washcloth. Lots of pretty photos today! Wonderful to look at. I think I'll take a second pass at them.
