It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Making a messy gingerbread house, decorating our tiny disco tree, eating clementines by the dozen, doing intense Radio Times highlighting, I LOVE CHRISTMAS.

Carrot & stick

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

After yesterday’s An Education retro interior post Alexandra emailed to tell me about Blue Carrot Shop, where she sells vintage housewares and knick knacks and I almost wish she hadn’t, because I want everything and our kitchen is already struggling to cope with all my nonsense. But seriously, she does an amazing job curating the shop. Sure I can cruise around etsy for vintage dishes, but I didn’t even know that I wanted a frilly poodle printed tea towel or Mr. Peanut salt and pepper shakers until I just saw them, so thanks a lot Alexandra! Plus I have some kind of Pyrex dish fetish (I found a whole stack of them in my parents garage before I moved out and screamed) so I’m basically sold. Btw if you have a bit of a penchant for Pyrex – ahaha I’m sorry I couldn’t help it – the Pyrex Love blog makes for thrilling reading. I’m serious.
