Here's some Faux worth buying & giving

I have to admit that I'm a lover of flowers and even more so plants! A bit of greenery really completes a room and makes everything happier and brighter. Maybe because I grew up in Brazil and greenery is almost everywhere.  However... I also have to admit that I'm not good at keeping them alive, as sad as it is, life always gets in the way. I once successfully kept an orchid alive for a few months and I was over the moon, but it must have been luck. My friend at Shiny Black Door has recently written a post about her orchid mission, and I feel every bit of her struggle!  Some of my artificial greens on my bookcase...

The 12th Day of #Wishes

Alright, it's the 12th day (my advent calendar clearly reminded me that as I was behind on chocolate, yeah it's been that crazy a week!) and I had two wishes in mind for today!  But... it's the last day of wishes so I thought I'd spoil you a bit instead. These wishes you're about to see are found in stores that have such great range of products, it was easy to add many items to my list, but so hard to pick just one!  Firstly from one of my favourite online interior stores, Mia Fleur, I bet you'll also fall in love with these...     Clockwise from top left: Concrete Candle Holders Brass Wire Storage Basket Black Geometric Hanging Planter...

The #tenthwish is a big one! 

I've had my eye on this one for a while. It's multi-purpose, comfortable and pulls off a geometric pattern really well!  There's something about a footstool that is just so cool. I prefer it ten times over a coffee table. Probably because it can add interest, colour, texture and is also multi-functional. Totally my thing!  See for yourself the super cute footstool I found at Loaf.   You'll be wanting to shop for an awesome tray to go with it once this wish has come true...
