what do you really like? i don't mean perhaps collections but something that is really you. perhaps Pinterest boards or things you just look at online or in books for hours dreaming!
I will go first so my five items i choose are;
Beach huts
Flamingos
Caravans older the better
Cath Kidston especially bags
1960s glass vases bubble ones with a coloured base
so what five would you choose?

Real music (jazz, classical)
Art (paintings, sculptures, good photography)
Sweet peas (what's not to like?)
My husband (one of life's beautiful people)
Making lists
Not necessarily in that order...
