It's shopping tip time again

So I mentioned before that we were on the eBay hunt for blankets to act as draft excluders/curtains for the kitchen doors. Well, instead of the Welsh blanket I showed you initially, we went for these Swiss army numbers, also off eBay. What a double whammy - recycling and helping conserve energy, all for only $20 apiece. Eco-chic at its finest I'm sure you'll agree. Plus, note the organic curtain rod freshly hewn from the garden.


And let me tell you they arrived not a day too soon - this morning there was the sort of thick rost Laurie Lee would do a good job of describing and it's barely got above freezing all day. But we're cozy on the inside.
