Utility





If I would have a shop, it would be a bookstore or a Kitchenaliashop.

Utility is a small & wonderful shop in Brighton, very much my kind of shop. Always good to stock up
on tea towels  and candles. Great place for christmas shopping.

touch of christmas



I will look for my christmas decoration in the morning (got some nice candleholders somewhere in my christmas boxes).
This wonderful chain of christmas trees I got from a dutch blogger friend who lives in Berlin (miss you girl).
My idea for this christmas is to buy art from etsy  and Tinyshowcase and all my other gifts I will by in small local shops. I ordered a cool gift for Mister Kay, but I will tell you about it when I got it.
