As I write this, the renovations at our apartment are well underway. The entire place is covered with plastic and tarps, plastic, anad paper… as our living room, hallway, and bedroom are all being repainted. I’m camping out in our guest room… and every day that I come home it seems that we’ve had another delivery. It’s pretty much impossible to get photos of anything right now… but I managed to snap a few, so I thought I’d share a few happy little details from the week!
As you might know from this post, I collect antique perfume + apothecary bottles. When the boyfriend returned from filming in Southampton, he brought home this antique silver tray, fitted with six crystal bottles. (He found it in a little antique store where they’d been hunting for props.) It’s currently front and center on our living room credenza… I absolutely love it… such a thoughtful gift!
The team over at Social Experiment (a super cool Etsy Shop,) sent me over this little cocktail ring. Isn’t she prettty? She’s handmade, and made from malachite + gold plated wire.
Our new poufs arrived! This may have been the highlight of my week, as I had been waiting patiently for them. They are from John Derian, and I love them… passionately. (more…)
I love that this S&S e mail comes through to my yahoo in perfect UK time despite early doors at your end!
I CANNOT wait to see the apartment makeover. Holy cow it will look so different.
I love the little antique bottle holder. Very cute of Stef.
Love your stuff! That cocktail ring looks amazing! And I can totally see why you picked up those flats!
Miu Miu flats are always a worthy splurge! And I absolutely love the sweet gift from your boyfriend!

So many beautiful things! I love the keys project as well. Also, those shoes are amazing!
I absolutely love those Miu Miu flats! I’ve never bought anything designer off of eBay because I’m so scared to get a fake. I’d love to hear how you’re so successful!
love the key sharing idea, did you get your message??
I love your perfume set, the poufs and the shoes! Ebay is a scary place for designer things, but they look good enough to be true! I need a pouf in my home.
Oh my ghad, these are such amazing pieces.
those miu miu flats are AH-MAZING! =)
good luck as you work around the renovations!

nancy
