Ok. I confess. There's nothing more that I prefer to do in my spare time than roam through flea markets, antiques centres and thrift stores.
Of course, my second favourite activity is documenting it all in these pages.
So welcome to a retreat from the world filled with vintage finds, plants and pets.
When it comes to house plants, I usually prefer the non-flowering kind. But I have had this wonderful purple-leafed plant for years now and every once in a while it produces these sweet lilac flowers. Lucky me !
Btw - if anybody knows how this plant is called, please holler. I am dying to know...
Just in case you're still wondering what the name of that plant is - I'm pretty sure its a Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Heart' (a.k.a., Purple Wandering Jew). Definitely in the Tradescantia genus at least.
Anyway, I love your blog! As evidenced by my creeping YEARS back! :)
I just came across your blog, it's great and your home is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading more of your posts :)
