Love the Pink Birthday Roses
What a lovely surprise it was. Such a pretty bouquet, and I was so happy to get them. They were from my mum and sis, who know I love roses. Even though flowers wilt, the photos will preserve them forever.

Swedish Christmas at Ikea
Have always loved the Christmas displays and products at Ikea. A handcrafted Dala horse straw goat had us captivated. A heart shaped straw wreath in my favourite shade of red. Contrasts well with the natural coloured straw one. If you … Continue reading

National Museum of Singapore: Masterpieces from the Musee d’Orsay, Paris (Part 2 of 6)
