It’s here! It’s finally arrived!
What a day to pick for Home Appreciation Day. Ai. Oh well, let’s ignore the dirty dishes, unbrushed hair and smelly parts of the house shall we? Yes? Oh good. And if I collapse halfway through due to sleep deprivation I hope you will be generous enough to swiftly gloss over the little social faux pas? You will? Oh, thankyou. You are a good blog buddies. So lets get this over and done with begin:
In no particular order…
Nick nacks. No paddy whacks, though. Little passing bits of beauty make me happy and I put them on this shelf.
These cushions right now
Freshly hoovered carpets… Ahhh!
Rainbow stacker - love rainbows
Some yet-to-be-framed (for six years) images on my walls…
Teacups. I’m very fussy over teacups. I love tea and if the cup isn’t right the tea doesn’t taste as good. I go through waves of in-favour cups. This is my current fave…
My garden - it makes me stupidly happy when everything is lush…
My new garden chair. Happy happy.
Pyrex and pretty crockery.
In my new chair, with a pretty cup full of strong English tea in the garden. Sigh
Viewing this
The light in the house. Alhamdulillah we get good light.
Breathe-taking silhouettes at sunset
These curtains my mum gave me.
Beautiful Qur’anic calligraphic verses on the wall…
Doilies…
Patchwork and Denyse Schmidt fabric… sigh
This print makes me stupidly happy. It has everything I love - patchwork, vintage doilies and tea.
Wooden spools. There is no logical reason for this making me happy. But they do
My work space and these shelves. As messy as they are… in fact the messier they get the happier I am because I know I will get to spend time tidying and arranging it again. Slurp!
Praying salah on this rug
Flowers from my babes
Hey, you know what? Putting that together has made me really warm inside - I’m so lucky. I love my family, home and kids! Masha’allah!!
So how about you? Anyone out there appreciating their home today? Comment below so I can have a peak please!
Love and peace to you and yours,

Subhan’allah, your home seems so cosy and I think you can feel it yourself now, appreciating all these little things.
I like your tea cups, the flowers and the fabric shelve really a lot!

May Allah bless you, your house and your familiy.
Salam Sabera, yes, subhan’allah.
