A beautiful bungalow

Bungalows are slightly unloved in the UK aren't they? When we think of them I would suggest we mostly think of retirement, avocado bathrooms and frosted glass. Actually I rather love them- I don't know why, probably because I always like unloved things- and my Grandparents had a bungalow, which was a very happy place with a walled garden where they grew vegetables (still digging for victory well into their eighties); there were always pots and pots of tea and yes a coloured bathroom- though actually theirs was turquoise which is surely pretty rare in the world of bathing suites?

The Bungalow on etsy is also a very happy place and is filled with goods that are very far from what you might imagine finding in a normal bungalow.

There are lots of beautiful headpieces:





I also think these necklaces based on doilies work very well and would liven up any plain tops or dresses:



These little shoe clips made me smile; I remember my mother having these kinds of clips that you could add to shoes to make them look more interesting or varied when I was young. They seem to not really exist anymore but they are a great way of customising or making an inexpensive shoe look like a great deal more.
