Gifts from abroad

A package arrived for me in the post last week from Third Drawer Down and in it were the new pillow cases designed by Miranda July (the author of and actress from You and Me and Everyone We Know). They look loverly on our bed.


Guess which side of the bed I sleep on?

And on the same day (ohmygod - two gifts in one day and it wasn't even my birthday!), Matt bought me a new brooch from Object.


You can't tell from the photo (I should have included a ball point pen for comparison!), but it is teeny tiny. It is designed by a guy called David Neale, and is made from painted silver, the idea being that with time the paint will rub off in parts leaving it looking worn. So cool. Thank you Matt.
