Spring has Sprung!

So for my blog today I thought rather than have a theme as such to chat about. I would just post a few little snapshots of some items around my home. In my last blog I was talking about my addiction to ceramic vases, as you can see in the photo above there is a nice little group of 3! Looking very spring- like with the daffodils.
Still waiting for  my Easter Cactus to flower, I picked the Swan vase up at an antique shop for £5 recently. It had a lot of peeling paint so, I scrubbed it off! Although I have noticed recently Asda  home selling something similar,  and a lamp which is really rather cute!
This is the Asda lamp which is only £15, I am seriously tempted to purchase, they also do an ornament, very similar for £8. What's not to love!
I talked before about my love for coloured glass, the red vintage vase and apothecary bottle I have had for many years. I so would love to collect alot of apothecary bottles they are so beautiful.

Some more of my coloured glass collection.
Please feel free to comment on my blog, would be great to have some feedback.

A slight addiction to vases!

I don't know when or how it started but I seem to have an addiction to vases! Whilst they are handy obviously as vessels for flowers (if you can find the right height, width etc) which seems to be a perennial problem regardless of how many vases you actually have. They are just simply fabulous as decorative objects. I have long been obsessed by coloured glass vases but relatively recently I have began to collect ceramic patterned vases.
They look so powerful when grouped together and make a real statement in any room.

These images are from pinterest, you don't need to have as many as these but as a rule of thumb always group objects in odd numbers. The vases are West German vintage, I particularly love the white ones.
In this image I have simply grouped together three vases 2 modern and 1 vintage.
