Bits & Pieces

A few shots of our apartment. These things make me happy

This rooster lamp was a wedding gift from a close friend of my mother-in-law. She made it, it's what she does.

A gift to Lucas from his mother.


The vase is another wedding gift from friends of my in-laws. The cotton branches come from one of the congratulatory bouquets of flowers we got for our wedding.


Another gift to Lucas from his mother. His brother has one too. I "think" they came from Tunisia.


A market basket filled with magazines. Lucas bought me the long basket in the background, it holds my yarns and knitting and crocheting needles.It looks ragged because Mozie thought it was a scratching post!

Just a view I like. One of those pieces of lucky bamboo was also in a wedding bouquet. Lucas can't stand the stuff but I love it.

One of my tulip plants! Can't wait for it to bloom.

This is a Christmas gift from my inlaws. We finally took possesion of it yesterday, it was being mounted.

So there you go. A little peek into our surroundings.

After our wedding and the lists, which we put together quickly and in a panic, there were the people who in the end actually delivered presents. At the time I thought most of them were kinda wierd. But now I simply adore all the presents that people put their heart and soul into choosing at the occasion of our wedding. We also have the mil gifts. Aren't they quaint?

I have some bamboo in my house too. I really like the pics you showed. Seems like you have a very cosy house.
