My Favourite Things . . .


https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOOPpfEd5Zsq2tbOc2-UBk6Njak8VrG7e7evggWXGZ2mh-j53ekFS5_iJ7oLR7meELGbGOHT1tpJoMRH-WDForIBx-F86puBU5K_uuGKf1hWiGc5Jko8kG6S71gFooUD3ZEZNrNzAWfJI/s320/alfp_favorite_things.png 

A few of the things which catch my eye, inspire me, pluck at my heart strings, make me smile, or that I just enjoy.  Maybe they will do the same for you. 




I love Nivea Creme.  I use the day cream and the night cream.  I use the face wipes too.  I love the way it smells.  I love the way it makes my skin feel.  I can usually get it on offer.  Its a win win all round! 


L'Oreal Mascara. Black.  I have been using the Million Lashes one for a long time now, but looking at these, I am wondering if I should add another one to my repetoire. That lash paradise is looking good.  Ariana had lash extensions done a few months back.  She said she would never do them again. I just want something which looks natural that I can wash off at night on my makeup wearing days. 

  

L'Oreal True Match foundation, colour beige.  This has been the foundation I have been using for years now. I think it is fair to say I like L'Oreal cosmetics. 

I just wish they made a cream blush!  I prefer that over the powdered blusher.


And this is my shampoo of choice!  I love, LOVE the way it makes my hair smell, and feel and shine.  I do have exema however and so I do need to alternate it with my prescription shampoo.  


The artwork of Norman Rockwell.  Every picture really tells a story. 


  

Hares.  They have such character in their faces . . .  



Painted Wooden Dolls . . . 


  

Flower Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker . . . I have books of them.  They are beautiful. 



Painted glassware  . . . 


  

Breakfast Nooks  . . .  I would love to have one.  


Old church pews  . . . . 


  

Old house plans  . . .  If I had the money, this would be mine.  



Drop front desks  . . . 


  

Cosy chairs to curl up in  . . . 



Attic bedroom spaces  . . .  


  

Old Piano Stools  . . . 



Window Seats  . . . 

  

Garden planning  . . . 



Scented candles in pretty jars  . . . 


  

Whistling kettles  . . . 

And with that I best be leaving you with a thought for the day  . . . I had an episode with my left eye yesterday so I am trying to limit my screen time  . . .

    1. Oh, I wish we had more discount shops here like Winners! I know my mom used to buy a lot of stuff there Monique! I will look up some of your other suggestions! Makeup can be sooooo expensive, especially L'Oreal, but I am loath to spend money and not know if I am wasting it or not! xoxo

  3. Oh, I want to do something like this! (Pinterest is way too time consuming.) LOVE Norman Rockwell and that eat-in kitchen banquette! Now retired, I seldom wear a lot of make-up … but like you, I struggle with blusher. Instead, I use my favorite lipstick to make a couple hash-marks and smooth it in with a generous dab of face cream.

  5. Oh my, I did enjoy looking through all of this one. I love L'Oreal products too. I like their mascara. I too like anything Norman Rockwell.
    I especially loved all the decor; we have the same tastes. Most of all I loved the house plan. I would love to live in a house just like that.
    Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way!
