Amongst my family and friends I'm known for finding sometimes slightly odd things worthy of being classed as a homes accessories, and for some time now I have noticed that I find shop windows ever more interesting...(normal I hear you say, what girl doesn't like a bit of window shopping), but not for whats actually for sale in the shop, rather, I'm finding myself drawn to the window props, and items used for window dressing.
Hence the giant 'S' now taking up residence in my living room, not so strange really but when I spotted in the window I had to have it (good for two reason, one my First name begins with S and two because my surname also begins with S,), acquired from the Accessorize shop in town. Result! I had had my eye on a pink flamingo back in the summer, but it seems I'm not the only one who likes window props, they actually put you down on a waiting list, and sell the props for charity. .
I have tried to acquire more items in my travels through town, but alot of shop owners are not egar to part with their props, I had my eye on a grand father clock printed on white card recently, and thought that if I pop a clock mechanism in the back it would make a very fine addition to a wall some where in the house... It remains to be seen if I score...I think this little obsession might turn into some kind of sport.
What about you, got any strange items in your home acquired from even stranger places?
