things that makes me happy













left: 
this is a cat door stop i found 
in the West End markets.
hand made, absolutely adorable.
now she sits next to my couch,
like a pet, and guards my door 
when i'm away.


bottom:
what more can you ask
if you have a fresh baguette,
some lovely readings
on a saturday afternoon?

top:
this is another purchase from the West End markets, 
it is a bees-wax candle holder and candle.
when you hold it up against your nose, and close your eyes, 
it's as like smelling pot of honey.
when the candle burns, it gives a honey-flavoured scent, 
very soothing and pleasant...
the man who sells it at the market makes them himself, 
and said that these candles are therapeutic, 
unlike some mass-produced candles that are actually toxic.



left:
my couch. it is the most comfortable couch in the world. and what's best is that it came free. i rescued it from a road-side dump, brought it home, gave it a new life, and restored its dignity.

 


mmm... macaroons...
from choquette in new farm.
delicious.
