An unexpected gift, and some serious study procrastinating led to an upheaval of my desk on Sunday! This is the before photo on my Instagram, and these are the photos taken during/after. The photos are as follows...
1. A gift from Sandra (thank you so much!) to match our new galaxy print bed covers, 2. One of my bear cups (totally unwashable, but storage for various tablets), 3. Putting a mason jar to use as a new washi tape storage solution, 4. Juicy Lucy love notes, 5. My vintage teacup used for paint water, 5. My besties and my lover in a sweet Ikea frame, 6. & 7. My special photo purse with photos of my dad inside, 8. My trusty old favourite paints, 9. Our memory jar - mason jar complete with post-it notes handy to write little things about the day, 10. How Mark & I met card, 11. Mason jars, cloud stickers & bear postcard from Paperchase, my paints in their case, 11. Belle & Boo postcards from Paperchase and one from the lovely Heidi, 12. & 13. My whole desk! including a pretty bird printed tin from dear friend Lynn, the vintage lace doilie which was my great grandma's, my Marie Curie daffodil pin, a jar of pens & paintbrushes, my unseen but definitely there Luis Suarez coaster from Mark!!, and The Fault In Our Stars which my sister Willow gave me to read and I haven't done yet!
Does anyone else love organising and re-organising things? I love my little space :)
Last Tuesday, I went to the Willow Tea House with Sandra & Mary for a bite to eat and a drink whilst Mark was at work. As you can see, it is a lovely, bright place with shabby chic decor. The furniture is beautifully distressed white-washed wood, and the tabletops are covered in an almost sage green polka dot cover with glass over the top. It is very pretty indeed, with fresh flowers on the table in a vintage porcelain jug. Willow Tea House has all the lovely finishing touches, little doilies on the saucers and even a mint imperial each with the bill!. Families and folk of all ages are welcome, and there's plenty to choose from in the glass counter filled with delicious homemade cakes and scones! The food was delicious, I opted for good old beans on toast. Can't go wrong with a bit of beans on toast! It was so good, and presented so beautifully with the beans in a dish and perfectly done toasted triangles. Sandra opted for coronation chicken sandwiches, and Mary for scrambled egg & smoked salmon on toast. Drinks were equally as lovely, and Willow Tea House also serve specialty teas and alcoholic beverages. We all thoroughly enjoyed it!
If anyone lives on the Wirral or the surrounding areas, Willow Tea House is definitely worth a visit :) they also cater for special occasions (birthdays, weddings, baby showers - anything!). I will be taking Mark there very soon to sample the delicious looking cakes!
