Small Red Things
Posted under Material things I love
Whilst pondering my 5 random favourite things today I considered ‘Small Blue Thing’ by Suzanne Vega as one of my song choices. But then I remembered how dreary it is and the fact that I hearted it as a teenager is no basis for its inclusion, since all teenagers are hard-wired to be gloomy and full of drear.
These days I like small red things. And here’s a collection of them…my brand new red Moleskin notebook (I can’t bear to take the wrapping off, because then I’ll have to start writing in it and spoil it)…a red, glass heart which child2 tries to eat if I’m not looking…my gorgeous Momiji doll( a gift from the Wife, complete with a secret shoved up her bottom…the doll not the Wife), a pin cushion in the shape of a cake and…inspired…a bottle of rose!
It’s never ‘really’ summer Chez Spud until we’ve cracked on with the rose. So i bought some in anticipation of al fresco wining and dining this weekend, since we have planned to go camping for the first time.
I checked the weather forecast. Rain. I should have known.
i love your momiji doll–i’ve seen perfume that’s in similar bottles at the airport. i think i have a crappy iPhone photo of it. i’m quite happy that we can’t see the secret that’s stuffed up her bottom. i’m slightly disturbed (yet strangely attracted) by that notion.
what is up with moleskines in colors? everyone’s talking about that. i’ve got to visit stelling & fyldepen, perhaps today, when we’re in copenhagen anyway. tho’ i know what you mean about spoiling it, they are pristine and beautiful.
since it’s raining, why don’t you hop on a plane and come to blog camp?
Your collection of small red things is lovely. I especially like the Momiji doll, she’s so cute!
I adore all things red, and I adore your blog. It makes me smile everytime.
I’m pretty sure the wife is relieved that you let us know about the bum thing. Had me worried for a minute.
