Cup of Tea

pinkgreen Interiors - Lovely big Cup of Tea

Wonderland

Despite the fact that my husband quotes me as saying “Is nothing sacred?!” when he told me last year that Tim Burton was making Alice in Wonderland I couldn’t avoid the hype  - or the groovy NHS styled 3D specs – 50p…and they’re mine to keep – so I went to see it.

Whilst it looked amazing the story wasn’t as great as I remember the books being but I reckon its because they are so fantastical that it would be tough for any film maker to do it justice. I enjoyed it all the same and it’s prompted me to scurry down the rabbit hole after some surreal wonderland interior accessories.

So settle down for a nice cup of tea and enjoy…giant Tea Cup Plant Pot from Rockett St George

Oversized pocket watch wall clock

Its hard to appreciate the scale of it so I’ll post more images once I’ve bought mine! It’s 36cm high, 39cm wide and 10cm deep and has lovely nickel detailing like a pocket-sized pocket watch.

I saw it on the wall of a local interiors shop and stupidly didn’t buy it and of course it was sold once I’d gone back but I have managed to track it down on ebay…will stop you being late…for a very important date…

SCP - Green Sprig Jug

So I hope I’m not being too premature but a few rays over a few days (well…an afternoon anyway…) and the sunshine has made me feel like Spring might be on its way…fingers crossed…

There are plenty of lovely springy colours around which I’ve been eying up and the fresh greens are a particular favourite of mine.

I especially like this fresh green Donna Wilson Sprig Jug at SCP…it reminds me of the snowdrops I saw popping up at my grandparents house at the weekend…so hopefully there will be more sunshine to inspire me!

Welcome to my new pinkgreen interiors website

I am happy to say that after a few months of hard work of other people and lots of tweaking from me the site is up and running. Hooray!

In the scrapbook I am planning on posting images, inspiration and text about things that I have seen and enjoyed…some work, some play…

Big thanks to Leon – www.leonpidgeon.com - for building the site and to Paul – http://web.me.com/paulant1 – for his valuable creative direction!
