I gave my mum a cutting from one of my prayer plants (Maranta leuconeura) a couple of years ago. It has been thriving ever since, and when I visited this week she was very excited to show me the beautiful, tiny flowers it's currently producing! It definitely prefers the warm, sunny conservatory over anywhere else. Just wanted to share how lovely they are 🌸

(The several plants I have in my very warm and sunny attic bedroom, however, haven't ever produced any flowers...a shame!)

Passed this little chap on my way to work this morning - contemplating his brekkie!

Found this jumbo mug for £2 in a charity shop! It gave me wave of childhood nostalgia - it features a design by Bang On The Door from the 90s (a British brand that's often recognisable due to Groovy Chick fame!).

Can't wait to make a jumbo cuppa...or soup!

Found this gorgeous female stag beetle (lucanus cervus) sitting in the middle of a busy pedestrian walkway, so I moved her to a wooded area. Couldn't resist taking some pics - look at her little eyelash antennae! 🖤

Stags are endangered in the UK, so don't forget to report your sightings (female, male or larvae) with the PTES here: https://stagbeetles.ptes.org/take-part-in-the-great-stag-hunt/

I was luckier than I've ever been with my finds on holiday, plus my first ever two tone piece (and possibly a small piece of pirate glass)! Some tile/pottery pieces too 🩵

(On a side note - my boyfriend is now a new member of the seaglass hunting crew!)

Tiny guy landed on my hand while cooling off in the park (real feel 37⁰C here in London today!). He sat still for a while before running off!

(Photo from my dad!) My parents usually have stag beetles living in their garden, but were disappointed that they hadn't noticed any for the past couple of years. Yesterday, my dad found a female half buried in soil, and today was very excited that this lovely chap said hello - and sent us a photo straight away!

Stags are endangered in the UK, so this was particularly special. Wanted to share his photo for others to enjoy ☺️

Fell in love with one of these beautiful vintage bedside tables at a furniture charity shop recently - then a volunteer told me a matching piece was yet to be put out. Convinced my boyfriend we needed them and scored both for £30! They look lovely after a gentle clean - very excited to use these in our new place in a few months ☺️
