These are a few ...
... of my favourite things!
Wooden lamp after a very good clean!

I just love going to fleamarkets specially the ones in the South of Belgium and France.
Getting up really early ... usually not a problem cause I do not sleep a wink when I know I am going to one. And when you're finally there and you pick-up a few things like on the pictures below ... you just can't get the smile of my face!
Old chocolate container
Ladies clogs

Twittering ...
This dainty little blue bird was handcrafted by Cathy Nash of Tadpoles and Teacups and was her giveaway last month.
I was gobsmacked when I found out that I had won this cute little guy.
Upon his arrival he landed on my nightstand and has been twittering over there ever since. He puts a smile on my face everytime I wake up in the morning. Isn't that just the best start of any day!
Thanks a milllion Cathy!
Go check out her blog ... she makes the cutest papier mache/clay sculptures and her posts are a delight te read.
