Mini Knick-Knack Haul

-

I recently took a couple trips to our local Salvation Army and found a few bits of treasure. This time I didn't find any clothing items but found some cute decor for my room instead.

So as you can see the first thing I have is a little 'porcelain' doll figure. I had decided I wanted to get something like this and looked in my local antique shops and Salvation Army, but with no luck. Then, on the way to somewhere, my mum stopped by Vinnies (another second-hand store) and what did I find just sitting THERE, waiting for me? This beautiful little lady!
I want to name her but have yet to find the perfect name.

♥♥♥

Next up, a cute silver tray. I can just imagine serving some decadent chocolate truffles on this tray!
For now, though, it'll just hold some little things in my room. A small glass elephant, a bracelet set, my 3 and only rings, and a handmade dog brooch that I made with a kit.
Isn't it pretty? The little edge is so pretty and girly. I love it so much and will probably get good use out of it.

♥♥♥

Thirdly, I picked up this adorable dish with floral print and gold detailing. ♥

I am not sure what I will use it for. I don't really want to put items in it otherwise you won't be able to see the flowers. But I love it all the same!

♥♥♥

Then I got some beautiful gold earrings. They just scream vintage to me and I had to take them home.

This photo was a little tricky to get because I took it myself but here we are. I...I don't have any more words to say about them!

♥♥♥

Lastly, I got this pretty ceramic box.


I thought it was adorable. I tried looking up the brand name but didn't come up with anything much. The little picture on the lid is so precious. I am keeping some jewellery in it at the moment, as you can see. The gold details are also a lovely touch to this cute little box.

♥♥♥

And so those are some of my recent finds! I am very happy with them and I will treasure them with care. I wonder who owned them before they found themselves in my hands? I shall never know but it's fun to wonder!

I know it's a little late for this kind of post but better late than never right? Usually picking out favourites from a year's worth of reading is a slightly daunting thing & its hard to narrow down the list. But this time, the ten books that did make this list stood out from all the rest and it was easy to pick my very favourites. All of these books are so dear to my heart & I already cannot wait to reread all of them! So without further ado, here are my top ten reads of 2020 in the order in which I read them. Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell // 4 stars "Mary Barton, the heroine of Elizabeth Gaskell's novel, is beautiful but has been born poor.

She rashly decides to reject her lover Jem, a struggling engineer, in the hope of marrying the rich mill-owner's son Henry Carson and securing a safe future. But when Henry is shot down in the street and Jem b...

I have been thinking about my wardrobe lately and how I want to curate it more carefully and also invest in good quality pieces that will last. At the moment I am working on my Spring-Summer wardrobe and I have noticed there are definitely some gaps I need to fill. My wardrobe has quite a bit of colour and pattern, but I feel like I am lacking some good basics to tie everything together.. So a lot of this little wishlist is really just some basics to help streamline my entire wardrobe! I hope this will offer some inspiration and ideas for your own spring wardrobe and be sure to let me know in the comments what pieces you are looking for for your own wardrobe! a linen skirt with buttons down the front I would love to add some more skirts to my wardrobe and I think that a simple plain coloured linen one with buttons down the front would be a great addition. Whether it was a pink tone one like the one pictured here or something a little more neutral, I would style it with a plain tee or a...
