I am taking a Uniqlo sling bag to South Africa for a family member and popped in to take photos of the colours so she could choose. Every time I see them, I realise what amazing bags they are. Right now they are on sale at $15.
This COS ‘Swing Crossbody’ bag in leather is also really really nice. One of my clients has one in black. The leather is soft, supple and smooth, and it looks gorgeous when worn. It costs $130 but the quality is great.
I spotted these shoes in a shop, and they brought back memories of my then-called ‘Chinese slippers’ in black. The style of those shoes was exactly like this, but in black cotton. I loved those shoes so much. I still see them for sale in Asian shops but people don’t wear them much here.
I donated my old coins to the local charity shop. The oldest ones were from the 1800s
I chuckled at this kitchen set. My mother loved cooking, and she had a beautiful quality cookware set. She bought me a matching toy set when I was little. The set had about 12 pieces, including a little roasting pan, bain marie, frying pan and assorted saucepans. They were the same brand and quality as her set. When I lived by myself, I used to use them for cooking. The frying pan fitted one egg, the roasting pan was big enough for a quarter chicken, the pots were big enough for a single serving of rice. Everyone used to think it was hilarious that I cooked in toy pots but you only need small ones when you are cooking for one.
I found this photograph of myself at the age of 17 with a kitten that we found on the lawn. Always the cat lady!
