knick-knacks

• Sweetheart Display Cabinet*
• Nails Inc nail polishes to remind me of how pretty my nails could look if I stopped biting them
• Gryffindor patch - got to show some house pride, right?!
• Joules hare keyring* that's just too sweet to get bashed around inside my bag every day.
• Instax photographs from many years ago.
• Keep Me Jewellery* collectables.
• A chocolate frog box. The chocolate frog was eaten long ago but there's a Dumbledore wizard card inside.
• A chocolate frog keyring that really does smell like chocolate. Again, too pretty to use!
• A Desk Bunny so that a pair of scissors are always handy. Although I do forget that they are scissors more often that I would like to admit.

It's the little things that make a house feel like a home, they give the walls a heart and a personality all of their own. Knick-knacks are my favourite. They're tangible versions of memories shared with loved ones, mementos from special places & objects that simply provoke a smile for no particular reason. I'm not the best with them, dusting isn't my favourite chore and little things makes the job a little fiddly, but I think it's worth it. For the smiles. For the memories that wash over me if I glimpse them throughout the day. For the heart they give our home.

Happy Friday. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful weekend.
