i know i just showed you all those fabulous presents i got for my birthday, but i couldn’t possibly deprive you of a my monthly wish list post could i?! no, i’m not a monster! i’m a girl (a girl who is in a silly mood) and there are always things that catch my eye and make me think ‘ah, but if only i had the money/space/need/skill’ – no doubt you’re the same. so after an arduous month of internet window shopping, what’s on the love list this month?

seen on anthropologie. oh hanging chair, i see you there, all knotted and groovy. you’re hanging from the fig tree in our garden and its early summer when the air is gently warm and the sun hasn’t reached its maximum kill-ray 5000 strength yet. and hanging chair, i’m sitting, swinging, maybe sipping a mojito, and you’re hanging and being fabulous. and i have great hair and i’m possibly wearing a sweet lily pullitzer shift…(whispered) i love you hanging chair.

seen on: next via retro to go. oh i see what you’re doing, stacking mugs… you’re all like “hey what’s up, we stack neatly” but really you stack neatly and have a cute 70′s design. don’t think i don’t see it – ‘cos its right there in yellow and green for everyone to see. and you know what? i like it. i applaud your colourful candour. the world needs more mugs – nay, products in general – like you!

seen on artic design. hackman summer casserole, i’m going to go out on a limb here and say you’re the second best looking casserole pot i’ve ever seen. i know its a big claim, but really you’re very good looking. and i don’t just say that to every casserole pot i meet. i like your pea pod, and you onion.. me? oh you know, i like to make soups and boil pasta.. y’know, the usual. wanna come up to my cupboard?

seen on saison. alain gree house print, you make me wish i had more children so i had more children’s rooms to decorate. “go on, just one little girl” i hear you say. but will you get up for those night feeds, print? will you change the nappies? no. you’ll just hang there looking so cute that i won’t be able to stay mad at you!

and YOU, vasa irregular shape 2 sculpture, are the hardest to bare of all! your only function is to be beautiful – and oh my, how well you’re doing that. i can see that you know my only weakness is art.. and i promise when i have a minimalist lightfilled loft apartment somewhere, i will buy you. you’re magical xx
