I need little vintage bottles in my bathroom. I do need tiny bottles. Seriously, I  must have decorative bottles, and I must have them NOW. They are the only thing missing from my bathroom, and it looks so bottle-less, so empty, so sad and unfinished… I also need some honey cluster from Special K. They have far too much sugar to be healthy, but they are so yummy…Anyway, back to my bathroom, at least that is a craving that can easily be resolved!

Roses are red, violets are blue….  said a certain poem. However, roses are pink!  Well, they are in French, ask Victor Hugo “Les bleuets sont bleus, les roses sont roses” in les Misérables. Am I going anywhere with that? Well, on the subject of famous poems, not really!

Whatever their colour, I do find roses in home decoration a bit claustrophobic. Unless there are on cakes: you can never have too many roses on a cake!
