knick-knacks



* * *

It's the little things that make a house feel like a home, they give the walls a heart and a personality all of their own. Knick-knacks are my favourite. They're tangible versions of memories shared with loved ones, mementos from special places & objects that simply provoke a smile for no particular reason. I'm not the best with them, dusting isn't my favourite chore and little things makes the job a little fiddly, but I think it's worth it. For the smiles. For the memories that wash over me if I glimpse them throughout the day. For the heart they give our home.

Happy Friday. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful weekend.

    1. Me too, I bite my nails out of boredom and then they look horrible so I bite them more to try and shape them. I'm terrible. Love your blog by the way Annabel!

  8. The desk bunny is super cute! The top of my book case is filled with knick-knacks. They all have memories associated with them so it's nice to look back and reminisce.

  12. I'm hoping to get some old printer trays to put in my bedroom I'm in the midst of redecorating and then I can add little trinkets and memories.
