pretty patterns

Hope you're having a nice easy Sunday.

Normally at this time on a Sunday I would have my nose in my laptop and a pile of research articles,  studying for my PhD.  However,  I had a meeting with my supervisors last week, where the results of a couple of months of hard work were discussed.  They seemed pleased,  and I feel like I have made progress,  so as a reward I'm giving myself the weekend off. I also have a day off work tomorrow,  to sort out new curtains for my flat, so I feel an absolutely luxurious sense of unhurried-ness with hours of free time still stretching ahead of me!


I have been nesting this week, buying and working and thinking on things for the flat. Firstly these lovely bowls, which are so bright and pretty.  I love the pattern. 


A lovely tea cup- the print inside was the detail that really stole my heart.


My lovely new china also inspired me to crochet some more table mats and coasters to complement it.

Have a restful day,  see you again soon.

  3. You have done well to earn yourself a wee bit of time to enjoy the things you love doing Jen, and your new chine is beautiful, sweet, and heart-winning! And your little crochet coaster is gorgeous, love the colours too! Joy x

  4. Love your china! Think I may have just coincidentally bought the same cup and thought as you did, the pattern inside was just too beguiling to pass up! I have too many cups really but somehow can't always resist cup-temptation! Your Sunday sounds perfect! (especially if there was tea in that beautiful cup!) E x

    1. Aisha - the china is from Waitrose, though it looks very similar to some that has been on sale in Anthropologie. I can only afford the Waitrose version! ;o)
