Close but no cigar .....

Lovely new reddy-pinky-salmony-terracotta-ish wide-legged pants - hemmed, topstitched, finished? Check.

Fabulous new Catticus in brilliant Joel Dewberry Spade Damask in Mulberry from the Ginseng home dec range? Check.

Bright and cheerful doorstops in candy-coloured canvas stripes, all filled with sand and stitched closed? Check.

Gorgeous new - well, vintage, but I just bought it on ebay so it feels new to me - lolly-yellow fabric in stripes with little pink flowers and grass-green embroidery doodads? Check.

Camera battery? ba-BOW!!!!!!!!!!! (to imitate the Family Feud bad-buzzer-noise)

Charging, of course. Sigh ......
