As you know, I really love vintage furniture and antiquey bric a brac.

Niche Antiques which I showed you in Kensal Rise has some amazing things. This is out of current budget but BEAUTIFUL! Its listed as an "early Dutch glazed cupboard". I know its extraordinarily difficult to choose antiquey stuff for me, but if you wanted to, I'd love to go together and maybe choose something.

Ok, I know I'm always on about this, but I'd STILL love an old mannequin. I found this one. Don't know if its full height (ie: I want one that stands on the floor rather than a tabletop) but maybe its still something I should buy myself when we find a house...

I'd like a spice grinder for making curries (its a bit too hard sometimes with the pestle and mortar). Doesn't need to be this particular one. Coffee grinders work just as well, but would like a good one.

Okay, its probably one for my 40th (and Christmas and Anniversary) but one to bear in mind for the future is a weekend in Venice. Better in Spring rather than Winter or Summer, and if you ever do decide to book flights, tell me because I'll love searching out a special place for us to stay!

I quite like the idea of the Jamie Oliver mezzaluna, but I'm not sure if its actually easier to cut up herbs with a pair of scissors so maybe its just about it looking nice!

I absolutely love my Donna Hay magazine. There are 6 issues produced a year. Newstand.co.uk is showing a year's subscription for £33. I don't know whether its cheaper ordering it through a regular newsagent.



I'd love a subscription to Living Etc... I've found it offered at £15.99 on isubscribe.co.uk
