Reasons To Be Cheerful

Hmm, I have another stinking cold and I'm feeling mighty sorry for myself.  You know when you reach the point of being so over being sick?  So anyhoo, instead of focusing on my feeble physical state, I am listing some of the things that have made me smile in the last few days:-

#1 -Today I'm off work so I have been able to do this


...all day just cos I wanted to.  Although admittedly, it looked more like this


#2 - Good things come in small packages... from blogging friends


Thank you Emma

#3 - Discovering a new style icon (with fabulous taste in interiors)


#4 - Looking at this weeks thrifted finds

Cushion cover £1.50.  In situ on my sofa

Not too shabby eh?  

#5 - The sun has been shining today.  Defiantly pouring through the gaps in my drawn curtains just to say "come on Lucy, it's really not that bad".

What has been making you smile recently?

UPDATE - Linking up with Flea Market Finds at Her Library Adventures.  See you there x

    1. This made me LAUGH OUT LOUD. What a blast from the past. I'd totally forgot about Crapston Villas! She's actually from Wallace & Gromit; she plays a psychopathic killer of bakers in 'A Matter of Loaf & Death'. If you've never seen it I'd recommend it! :) x

  9. Get well soon, any sun has disappeared again, so it's only good for staying in bed anyway! I wish even had such a thing as 3 items for a quid in our charity shops, best we get is a very occasional half price day in one of them. x

    1. Very unusual around these parts too. There are certain chains that are so retro savvy it's a joke. I couldn't believe my eyes when I found these treasures among the chipped mugs and Ikea tea light holders :) x
