Hi…
While I was in Japan I bought various craft stuff at the markets. I had a vague idea what I wanted to do with them, but they’ve remained in a little box until I had the time and motivation to whip something up.
Luckily one of my friends has a Wiggly Willow tree and I was able to snaffle some branches that had been cut down.
(Sorry… pretty average snap, but you get the idea lol)
I also think I need to fill the jar with sand.
I loved the little felt balls. This sweet lady at one of the markets was selling them for approx $3 per bag. So I got a bag and modestly filled it so I could fold the bag over. Nope. She insisted on stuffing it full to overflowing!! So funny.
I stuck to the three colours and I think they make an effective combination.
Another lady made these sweet flowers out of kimono fabric… and some balls so I got quite a few of those too.
And not least the little chime bells and ceramic owls!!
Overall I love the look. Its sparsely decorated – the Wiggly Willow really is a decoration on its own!

Very pretty and so imaginative Lisa.

Thankyou! I love the look of it as you walk in the back door! (Ignoring all Jeffs extensive shoe collection haha)
I love the wiggly willow and decorations! So creative, yet simple and easy on the eye!
I see the glass cabinet… is it full of rocks and crystals? I collect rocks and crystals on my travels and recently bought a new to me cabinet. It needs glass shelves. When ready, I intend to make my display in there. ❤️
Thankyou! I enjoy the look of it too… was trying really hard not to over do it.
Oh yes… that cabinet is full of rocks lol. I found the cabinet at a local shop as a flat pack and it was MASSIVELY heavy and a bit terrifying to put together!
But it displays the various things we’ve found or bought and looks pretty cool. The bottom shelf is full of shells, coral etc which looks fab too.
It needs a dusting…(that is so far back on my to do list though)
I hope you get your shelves soon. Its fun to arrange and we love just seeing our collection rather than having it put away in boxes
