J is for Jars

I adore glass, thick aqua old glass with clear white sunlight glowing through it, and if you don't have curious little fingers picking up your pretty things -then make room for jars and jugs....

I love this vintage style bottle from Cox & Cox

........this is simple perfection from my favourite artist Christopher Gallego

I think this Jar of olives would make a fantastic kitchen print from Here

In Britain the Kilner jar reigns supreme for traditional preserving but I have started to fall in love with the much more stylish Mason Jar.......

I hate a bathroom full of products- but it can't always be avoided (men!) can it though? This en suite bathroom would have to be for me only.........

.......this is a funky bedside water jug, though I'm not sure what's in this one, sherry maybe?




.............Here's a lovely new photographer Janne Peters

......I love this page of floral classification, so go outside pick a weed and get a jar jam out from under the sink this is truely cheap chic.............

ps. laziness and children have hijacked me and the paintings and photo's ideas I started are buried under socks and lollipops in my head- so I may return to to this post later-when the grey clouds are gone and the babysitter returns!

B is for bathrooms

The perfect Bathroom ..........
1) Must be white
2) should contain an armchair
3) have places to put candles and wine glasses
4) have corners for a few trailing plants
5) and how about a lovely white wardrobe to hide all the towels and toiletries (unless they are really lovely!) and all the usual water works! Free standing baths are lovely but even a ordinary bath can look great with white wood panelling........
