Audrey and co

"Audrey" (as in Hepburn) as she got named on account of her elegant stance, came from a junk shop many years ago. She's a shop's hatstand. The lamp - amazingly - came from Sainsbury's, and the mirror (one of a pair) came from Graham and Green. It cost more than I should have paid for it - I just couldn't find a nice, solid, plain round mirror anywhere. Until, of course, I'd parted with £160 and they were suddenly everywhere. I'd tried to get the lovely Ikea Agnes one, but they'd discontinued it. If ever they come back in stock - a far more sensible (and, dare I say, slightly nicer) option.

Tasty table lamp

Continuing my obsession with lighting, this black table lamp is a modern addition to the secondhand homewares that dominate my house. It was a spontaneous purchase from a big branch of Sainsbury's, which has a surprisingly good selection of interiors additions. Right now, their sister outlet, Homebase, has some nice options. Currently the rather sleek Richmond Touch Lamp, a bronze and chocolate on the look, is just £8.49.

I spent far too much on my pair of round mirrors, which I bought from Graham and Green - why didn't I get these almost identical ones for just £24.99 each from Ikea?

Audrey - as I call my lovely swan-neck hat mannequin - was a long-ago find in an Oxfam shop. See if you can find one on the brilliant secondhand round-up website, Shopadilly, which I can't believe I've only just discovered, or buy a new one for just £14.95 from the sensibly named Equipashop.
