It is so often the simplest things that lift your spirits. I have a bit of an obsession with lots of beautiful colours together, like felt tin pens and colouring pencils in their tins. These cotton reels are old ones I picked up from an antiques fair. I saw a kilner jar filled with them and it was £40, so I found a stall that sold the reels that cost £1 each and put them in a kilner jar I had at home. It cost me half the amount they were charging and gives me twice as much pleasure. Oh and this is a cardboard car that Ottilie made at school.
