...Because this is no ordinary plant, this is a flesh eating plant

I had a huge cactii collection in our old house, until our baby got mobile & they became too risky!

I'm also fascinated by Venus Fly Traps, a plant that eat insects, obvious sci-fi style kitsch appeal.

I've housed my latest purchase in a vintage reproduction Marks & Spencer tea cup, bought in their 125 year anniversary Penny Bazaar.

Stag Print Satchel Bag by Anorak

Found a range of tweealicious bags, cushions & washbags in a Cath Kidston-heavy boutique in Newtownards.

I loved the Stag print, but couldn't find a bag in the design. The shop owner was kind enough to point me in the direction of the brand's website
www.anorakonline.co.uk

The kissing animal prints are on sturdy oilcloth, and include orange rabbits, cute robins & of course the stags.

The actual handbags are a little out of my own price range, but the baby changing bag is suitable to use as a laptop bag or satchel, so it's what I got!

1940's Dr Who Dalek To Victory Poster

Spotted this poster in the latest series of Dr Who.
The Doctor travels to wartime London, where Churchill is using daleks in the war effort.

As soon as I spotted the poster, I texted my Dr Who mad brother to see if he could find me one on the forums.
He found one on the BBC Dr Who site for me.
I plan to hang a Keep Calm and Carry On poster beside it, rather than the out-of-era 1960's creepy child painting.

Spaceboy by Rex International

Rex International make lots of little twee novelties & I absolutely love their 1960s inspired Spaceboy print.

I picked up the lunchbag & tin of plasters at a garden centre, but their products are on amazon or eBay if you want to get some rocket action yourself.

Ceramic Pineapple Punch Bowl

This ugly beast was only £2 at a local car boot sale. I recently bought another china cabinet which was looking bare, and this was it's very first occupier.

It came with a green leafy plate & matching pineapple spoon. Very tiki.

Old 1950's Wild West Print Lamp

Picked this shade up in a charity shop for £2. Very similar to, but not the Cath Kidston Cowboy fabric print,

Cactii & wagons look great with a plastic dinosaur skull at the base!

Easter Island Head Flower Pot

Found this cool Easter Island plant pot at Dickson's Garden Centre in Bangor. It costs £19.99 so I won't be buying one, but I really like it.

Ikea's New Twee Fabric

I've said before, Ikea is very hit and miss for me, but their new fabric by the meter is so bang on my taste, that I'm going to stock up on it.

The mountain goats with the little Swiss houses are absolutely must have for me, so I'll be making extra curtains for the bedroom (which is unusually neutral) and matching cushion covers for the bed.

The crabs could well make an appearance as kitchen curtains in the summer.

Well done, Ikea!
