See the two little kiddies up there in the lovely timber frame?That's Enid standing and Marigold seated demurely crossing her ankles. I bought the picture at auction a couple of years ago because of the frame but have never had the heart to extract these two little souls from it. They are now honorary members of the Rummage household, overseeing the breakfast table and silently admonishing Kipper's table surfing when we're done.
Are you all vignetted out? Yes? One can only see a few artlessly arranged vases before the eyeballs start to recede into the back of your head. Do you know I've been moving stuff around constantly since I was six years old, arranging and rearranging? I used to move all the pieces of furniture around in my bedroom incessantly until Mum started to let me do it to the rest of the house. I think I chose the wrong career, although I'm not sure if that means I should have been an interior designer or a furniture removalist.

Am entirely confused. Didn't you just confirm that you have been an interior designer since you were six?

Personally I think that furniture removal/re-arranging, without the interior design monniker, would be a far superior career. So much fun. Such a great insight into the way others live.
I love your kitchen dresser. Beautiful.

How could one be sick of vignettes. I am loving the vignettes. It's only adding fuel to fire that you should be styling (and you can sing that to the Bee Gees, You Should Be Dancing). And photographing. And crafting. All day. Every day.

I love your vignettes too. Post them to your heart's content. Your home must be just lovely.
I struggle to take a photo of a person out of a frame. It's like a pretty big statement about the person's worth I think, in a funny sort of "I am over thinking this" sort of way.

Love the photo of those two little girls and the fact that you couldn't take their photo out! How strange to think that in some way these strangers are a part of your family now!

Oh - a real Marigold. I wanted Marigold for my daughter but my partner wouldn't be in it - he said it isn't a real name.
