| 'Patchwork' clock and barometer |
I had to reposition one of the ceramic pictures so that I could put the clock and the new barometer where I wanted them to go. I think the ceramic pictures look better when they are in vertical pairs.

As my garden room has no electricity (I wish it had but my garden would have to be dug up to lay cables, and that's just not happening!) I decided that I would go for artificial battery candlelight. Real candles are ok but, apart from the fire-hazard aspect of them, they really do mess up interiors with their smoke which cannot be entirely avoided. I mean, if candles mess up room interiors, what do they do to our health? Pose the question on the internet and see what they have to say about that!
I bought a glass and metal candle lantern from Marks and Spencers. I'm hoping it will be effective with an artificial candle inside it.

The lantern is going to sit on the marble table with the recycled glass amphora (I think it's a kind of amphora, or two handled-vase) which was made in Spain. While mooching at a garden centre, I also found some small, inexpensive, recycled glass candle holders which were made in India. I do think this brushed glass effect is really lovely.

And, I bought this yellow bird house just because it is so pretty and it goes with my Room. It's actually made to go outdoors and be used as a nesting box for birds, but can you imagine how long it would remain looking like this? My home is right next to an area of dense trees and shrubs, and they can do ok without my bird house and build their homes far away from cats.
