Today I'd like to introduce you to Martha B. the writer of one of my favourite blogs, Nibsblog. Before having her son, Martha studied Anthropology, Art & Interior Design. She also worked for two major department stores doing window displays and fashion shows. Martha inspires me on a daily basis with her Vocabulary posts, her Then & Now posts and her Lil'Pix posts. I like her intelligent and witty approach to design and I definitely think she's a traditionalist at heart which I love. Overall, I love reading Martha's viewpoint and the pictures she posts are beautiful!! Let's see and hear all about Martha's favourite things...
"On our fireplace mantle are some of my favorite things:
Brass candle holders were a wedding gift. Look closely- the candles are in the shape of tree branches!
I love books and you'll find them all over our house. A small stack of them with a beach stone (found by my son) on top.
Polaroid of my father-in-law and his sail boat held in a vintage metal florist "frog."
Behind it is a starfish (a gift from my mom) and some old letters from my grandmother.
Antique pottery holds flowers from my garden.
For my 30th birthday my parents gave me the mantle clock- something I had always wanted.
Woven mirror was a sale item at Pottery Barn ten years ago.
Deer antlers (above the mirror) were from an antiques mall in upstate New York. At Christmas time I love hanging ornaments from them!"

Oh, Martha your favourite things are lovely. They are all obviously very special pieces which hold lots of special memories. I'm sure you will treasure them forever. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!!
Absolutely Favourite Things will appear here every Thursday so stay tuned!!
