Favourite things.

Throughout the house we have collected some favourite items. This rosewood side table is a favourite and came from an antique centre about an hours drive from us and although a different wood from the armchair it keeps company with - we feel it blends in very well. We have no idea of it's age or history but just fell in love with it.  As soon as we got it home we placed it where it is now and placed a small antique jug (on a place mat of coarse) of Sweet Williams on top.  Next morning, to our shock and horror the little antique jug had leaked, the water had overflowed the place mat and soaked to the felt base of the mat and the lamp leaving two white square water marks.  After a great deal of polishing we are left with a very small water mark under the lamp stand - a lesson learnt!
