Beautiful vintage illustration from ladybird vintage book I bought last Saturday for $2. I wish I could paint like that!
WELCOME TO A HOUSEGUEST - SPECIAL TIP
You are all pretty smart, and probably know this anyway.. You know the feeling, when your spare room looks like a tip that has been hit by a cyclone, plus a pack of marauding dogs, and you are expecting a house guest in 1 hour?
Quickly, shove all the clothes, shoes etc into the cupboard, fold down the ironing board and drying rack.
Then:
1: make the bed and put on a nice cover
2: Flowers (this is very important). There is something about a nice tiny bunch of flowers, stuck into a pretty receptacle, that instantly makes the room feel welcoming..
so easy and so effective!
A MEAN PAIR OF JEANS!
The original intent was to find a beautiful pair of shoes for Mr Singh. Men’s shoes were rather tedious..all looked like grandpas old slippers. Such small choice! The outcome was no shoes for Mr Singh, but he is so good to me, and bought me these awesome green jeans. I am sure that Frida Kahlo would have worn such jeans if she was around today! I resisted the temptation to go for red, and went for green, as i knew it would work so well with my favourite red sandals. and that’s just for a start.
