New Cutesy Things for My Blogging Area

Hi Pretties,

Have you seen my blogging area post here?  Well I am always looking to change it up, and when I went into Mr Price Home the other day, I just couldn't resist these beautiful and pretty additions, so I'll be changing my blogging area a bit:
R39.99
This is actually a soap tray, I just adore it though it smells so feminine and lovely, so for now I'm going to leave it on my desk just because it looks so pretty, but I'm sure eventually I'm going to cave in and use the soap, and the tray is actually perfect to keep little trinkets in.
R15.99 Each
I bought 4 of these, as you can see I've already use these ones for my previous post actually, I LOVE candles!  I know, I'm such a cliche but I don't care ;) candles just gives an area such a charming ambiance, and they're perfect to use in photo's too.
Sorry, the tag fell off but if I remember correctly it was about R130.00
I know it's quite expensive, but these are so beautiful and feminine, and absolutely amazing quality so well worth the price tag.  I like faux-flowers around the house {nothing fake about them darlings LoL}, I just don't have green fingers, I think I either over-feed or under-feed any flowers or plants given to me, but being such a girl I love having flowers around the house, so these will have to do.  But I pinkie-promise, they look as close to the real thing as possible.
R39.99
I think these are called peonies?  The colour on this is so vibrant and gorgeous, and I think both bunches of flowers go together so beautiful, my desk has indeed now been transformed into a delightful area!
R270.00 - Local Tobacconist
Every few months I treat myself to a Yankee Candle and ignoring the cry of despair my wallet makes.  And this fragrance is so appropriate, I've been lighting this for two days now and it has the loveliest fragrance,  It reminds me of the red velvet cupcake yankee candle, but it's a bit stronger and a definite cinnamon spice smell too.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

    I'm also a huge Yankee candle fan. That scent sounds ideal for the colder months :)

    Guess the tobacconist was the last place I thought of looking :)
