oh, and ...

Another addition to the iitalla glass collection ... not a drinking glass, but fits in nicely ...

new curtains!

Good old internet shopping - we got some cool vintage barkcloth curtains in the post today.

 The plan is to use the fabric on some deserving chairs at some stage, but 'til then they're a welcome addition to the place.

In other news we are pleased to announce that we found a new addition to our woodgrain porcelain collection in the form of a pretty funny toothpick holder ... classy.

... and I found the first piece of my collection of iittala tapio glasses - been seeking them for a while, so pretty pleased to have found one - another 7 and there's a set.

There's just something about that bubble.
