The Third Week

Is it already 3 weeks since we moved in? We have lots of things ordered but I just have to be patient!
 
I did a little treasure hunting on Friday and bought this cute 1880's ale bottle with its marble stopper inside...looks nice in a sunny window
 
 
 
 
A new lamp from Freedom
 
 
 
Waiting at the Post Office a parcel from France...a vintage laundry bag from a Saint Porcain hospital....the ultimate recycling! Love the colour and perfect for storing my unused handbags
 
 
 
 
 
It is so wet and freezing outside Mr VL can't do much. He has bought home some hellebores to plant
 
 
and the first of our Japanese Maples and Prunus trees has begun to blossom
 
 


 
 The lemon tree is overloaded...and there are lemons on the ground everywhere


 
 
Rain sheeting down...the view from the back door
 
 
Another great book from my new library I'm reading in bed this morning!

    It sounds like you are slowly settling in to your new home and I'm glad you've had the opportunity for a little treasure hunting.

    What interesting treasures you have. I enjoyed visiting seeing each of them. Freezing? In Texas, we are still above 100 and no relief in sight.

    It is fun to decorate a new space, but it does take some time. I love that lamp! Thanks for sharing your thrifty finds at TTF.
