I used to have lots of scrapbooks, I saved clippings from magazines, pages from books that had fallen apart and little bits and pieces that would be stuck in to decorate the pages. Then lots of house moves happened and one by one the books and folders were no longer with me.
Now I see a lovely image on the internet and save it for me to pore over in the computer memory. It takes up a lot less room and I can save at the press of a button.
And when we next move house there will be no heavy box to carry.
Anything can catch my attention, but beautiful houses, rooms or china are pretty much my favourite things to save. For a few years I tried to save things on Pinterest but it simply wasn't as easy to me as it is saving them into my photo folders on my memory backup box, and I rarely went back to visit them.
So it was just an online version of dusty photos in a box at the back of a cupboard.
Isn't this lovely cool looking bedroom inviting after all these hot nights we've been having recently.
Although in the dead of a cold Winter you would have to hang some lovely rich looking curtains, and add cushions, throws, and rugs on the floor to cosy it all up.
Yes, photos make me think and plan.
I think I would look forward to washing the pots, if these were the pots that needed to be washed. 💖
Of course it's not all just staring at pretty photographs and 'pie in the sky' dreaming.
It was looking at photos like these that helped me design my own kitchen when we moved into our current homes.
Useful and beautiful ... William Morris would be proud.

Joyful photos Sue, they bought a smile to my face. Thank you. June
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, sometimes it's nice to just look at lovely images isn't it. ❤️
DeleteI agree - I rarely clip pictures or articles these days. And I frequently take a snapshot on my phone, if I find a picture or recipe in a magazine. My new kitchen has been planned very carefully. I hope Mr Morris would approve!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it, you have both worked so hard. ❤️
DeleteVery restful photos...
ReplyDeleteIt can be quite calming simply looking at beautiful images can't it. ❤️
DeleteLovely photographs. I screenshot pretty images to use once in free online jigsaw puzzles. They are quite relaxing, all the pieces are the right way up, and none are missing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realise that there were free online jigsaws! How lovely to be able to choose your own pretty images. ❤️
DeleteSuch lovely photos. I adore pretty china but no longer have room for it. The cool looking bedroom is amazing, I love it.

Yes, that is a good way to describe looking at pretty images, therapeutic. ❤️
DeleteLovely photos to gaze at. I really like the china ones.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I love pretty china, but I like it even more when it is mismatched. My favourite plate is a little green china one, I'm thinking of switching to all pretty old plates eventually. ❤️
DeleteThose photos are just so you! I can see why you chose them, especially ones with green things! I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes mismatched things.
ReplyDeleteI think you all know about my love of green things, of any description, now don't you. 😄
DeleteLovely pictures; thank you for sharing them. I like the bedroom and the collection of pretty china.
ReplyDeletePretty china just makes me happy. I think I should keep my eyes open for a couple more old plates.
DeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI thought it made a nice change from food or shopping. 😄
DeleteI love your photos and china is a great weakness of mine. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThanks, pretty photos of and actual, old china really is a weakness of mine. ❤️
DeleteDainty china isn't my thing at all but that image is lovely! xxx
ReplyDeleteI know you love a different kind of vintage and retro. 😃
