Plastic animal makeover #1

Old plastic toy animals, easily painted and glued onto the lid (which is painted in the same colour) of an ordinary glass jar. Rather cute I think!

"Moppe" - the mrs Gillmore way

I find Ikea´s ”Moppe” very convenient to store all my bits and pieces in (and I have a lot of them). It is rather dull when new, obviously the designer was hoping for creative owners. Luckily wallpaper can do wonders, not just on walls. I chose to decorate this one with a wallpaper from PiP Studio and some handles purchased at ebay for not very many pennies.

The rainbow bookshelf

Because why would you organise your books in any other way?

Mrs Gillmore´s magnificent lemon and olive body scrub

I was trying to decide what to bring the hostess of this weekends dinner party. In the end I decided to go for a home made body scrub, which turned out to be the easiest thing to make! Containing lemon and olive oil it is both refreshing and softening. And it only contains three ingredients;

3 dl white sugar
2 tbsp olive oli
The zest from 1 lemon + 1 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice

Put the ingredients in a bowl and stir them all together. Store in a sealed jar.

Super easy and super fresh! No doubt this gift will be appreciated! 

Happy scrubbing!
