Problem: Keys always getting lost.
Solution: A beatiful cloisonne bowl which makes putting ones keys in it a delightful act, every time.
Do you have something that repeatedly bothers you - liquid laundry detergent that gets all over the bottle, socks that never have mates, a photo you've been wanting to enlarge and frame? I have millions that I am trying to attack one at a time, such as the lost keys. What small annoyances do you have in your life that in reality are easily fixed?

Place for the dog's leash: used to have a long one that would get wet and muddy. Bought a retractable one (after much internal discussion) and then put a small shelf in the corner behind the front door to put it on. Makes thing loads easier.

Here's my dilema: my house is set up in such a way that everyone comes in the back door. The back door leads into my laundry room so jackets, purses, etc end up on top of the dryer. The easy solution would be a wall-mounted rack next to the backdoor. Now, if we could get around to doing it...

I LUV that bowl!!! And I have the laundry detergent issue which got worse now that I do laundry by flashlight (don't ask). I need my bf to learn to hang his coats in the CLOSET and not on the BANISTER but I don't think he's easily fixed.

PEGS. i have the cheap plastic red, white and blue ones and kept outside in a little bag (yes planning to get someting better). in Australia we have a bird called the Bower Bird. during nesting time (about now), the male birds like to come and STEAL bright blue anything to line their nest so that future mate will find it homey and pretty. so now i have all these bright blue PEG PIECES lying on the ground!
BILLS. my husband ... doesn't file as .. often as i'd like to.
SCHRAPNEL. coins and coins and coins abundant. esp when $1 and $2 come in coins. luckily we don't have pennies or dimes. would drive me MAD. :)

After my return from Paris and my computer taking a French nationality I have at last had some time to do the rounds of the blogs. I have so enjoyed looking at what you have been up to.
So pleased you are still enjoying it as I certainly am.
