Autumn Vibes

 

I don't do much furniture shifting these days.  All my things have found their place, just the way I have found mine ... so we all stay where we are.  

I do, however, have a little bit of a colour swap around with the seasons, and it's mostly with books.  The cool whites and blues on the spines of the books that used to be beneath the plant on the sideboard have been swapped for browns, oranges and greens.

Alan walked in and noticed straight away ... 'ooh orange' he said, orange does happen to be his favourite colour, well alongside purple.  Luckily I don't have any purple books!!

After a bit of titivation with books being replaced into the bookcases and new ones being picked out I ran out of steam and enthusiasm, so the radiator shelf stayed a mess for the evening.

By the next day though it had been reorganised, and the eagle-eyed among you will notice that Valerie, the teddy bear has been relocated off the bookcase near the door onto the books on the radiator shelf.  She's an old lady, she will be much warmer for Winter on there.

Some things stay where they are no matter what, the two wooden boxes on the righthand side for instance, as that is where they are useful.  The large box on the bottom contains candles and nightlights alongside matches to light them in an emergency.  The smaller box on top is my small change money box, and is proving useful for buying bits and bobs from the shops during this lean year with no wages.

When evening comes around and dusk starts to fall the salt lamp comes on and casts it's amber hue around the living room, it makes it feel a bit cosier on these cooling evenings.
