Bon Bon Delight


Look what I got for £3.25 in habitat sale last week, it's white glass, and I managed to refrain from buy eight of them, which is my usual quantity for crockery and glassware (the most people I can squash round the table in the dining room), which would have made it less of a frivolous bargain, and more of an extravagant splurge, plus I haven't got any room in the cupboards to keep them in!
When I saw it, I could just imagine it filled with pastel coloured ice cream or french macarons, but I couldn't find any pastel coloured maracons, and ice cream doesn't last long, so bon-bons from the old fashioned sweet shop in town it was. Now everytime I walk pass it, it makes me smile.

  4. I spotted those dishes in our Habitat but I can't actually fit any more into our house, it's in danger of exploding!
    Looks like you had an amazing Christmas, the tables looked fab!
    Happy New Year, may it be very successful for you and your website.

  6. Hi Jess,
    Thank you so much for your help with the fabric it is exactly what I have been looking for and sadly unless you know the brand name of a product random words don't work too well on search engines... I have found lots now :)and in even more colours that I wanted.

Thank you so much for making the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate every one (even if I don't manage to reply to them all - I tend to get sidetracked quite easily) and it always brings a little smile to my face when I discover one in my inbox.
