Inblognito: Blogging Undercover

Having seen this in a few places, most recently on Shai’s and Kari’s websites, I decided to give it a go. I knew it would be a challenge, because although I like the colour red (it looks particularly good on me too), I’m usually drawn to other colours first, particularly when decorating my home. I tend to choose natural, darker or softer shades. Just as well it wasn’t 8 red things, or I may have had to give up! But I did find 7, so here they are:

From L-R, top-bottom I have:

1. A personalised wine glass from a friends wedding.

2. My red pot plant with lavender in it. I’m really not sure how to care for lavender, and it seems to be on verge of failing all the time. May have had something to do with the fact it took more than 6 months to find a pots in the first place! Mean time, my lavender was stuck in a tiny plastic container, oops.

3. Lucas Papaw Ointment – I would not be without this, it is a miracle treatment for lips!! And anything that itches or burns really, but it makes an especially good lip balm.

4. A selection of books from my shelf.

5. My beloved matryoshka dolls that I picked up in Melbourne.

6. A top I bought for a cousin’s wedding. I don’t like the feel of the singlet so tight against my skin, even though I know the over top is loose fitting, so I haven’t worn it a lot since and then forgot about it. Now I’ve dug it out again I might try wearing it to work, will go great with my grey pants.

7. My fruit bowl, stone fruit is in season and the first of the apples are just coming through too, I will easily get through all this in a week!

Feel free to join in and find your own seven red things.
