Obsessilicious is five today! I can’t believe it! Where has the time gone? Five long years of my obsessions, chairs, ramblings, more chairs, New York, dream spaces, Friday Feast and a few more chairs.

To celebrate this milestone I’ve decided to do a giveaway. I’m giving away five of my Yumalum prints to five lucky winners. That’s one print per winner and you can choose whatever you like, big or small and you can even change the colours if you fancy.

There are five ways to enter and you can do all five if you want to give yourself more chances of winning.

1. Like Yumalum on Facebook and tell you’ve done so here.

2. Repin the ‘5’ logo above on Pinterest.

3. Retweet my giveaway tweet featuring the ‘5’ logo above. @obessilicious

4. Comment on my Instagram pic which features the ‘5’ logo above.

5. Leave a comment on here saying which is your favourite print in my Yumalum shop.

The giveaway is international and is open until 6pm (GMT) on Friday 5th April 2013. The winners will be picked at random after that date.

It’s that easy! Good luck to everyone.

So much design goodness in one room!

Have a great week all.

I’ve bought a few delicious things recently or as David would say “Not more tat!?”

First off we have a rather large and heavy book all about the designer Alexander Girard. It’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever seen! It’s stuffed full of gorgeous images, oh and some text but I haven’t got around to actually reading anything yet because I’m constantly sidetracked by the images. It retails for around a hefty £130 and I managed to get it on Evilbay for £69.

Secondly we have the Cross blanket by Pia wallen. This is the less expensive version of the famous Crux blanket and it is gorgeous! Well worth every penny and no I didn’t get it at a bargain price but I’ve wanted one for so long, they were at last back in stock and I just had to have one. Slaps hand.

Just look at that large blue beauty in the third pic! I needed a larger Krenit bowl to keep my smaller ones company. I’ve watched so many over the last few years on Evilbay and the price has just gone up and up as has anything Mid Century Modern so I thought it would go for around £150. It was in Americaland and the auction finished at stupid o’clock in the middle of the night, so I placed a bid with my top amount being £90 but I really didn’t think I had a chance. I won it for £55! There were import charges but the less said about that the better because I’ll start ranting about it! 

Last of all is an Arabia vase which I managed to win on Evilbay for £19. Slightly smaller than I though but even nicer in real life.

I’ve also got my hands on another large Krenit bowl in red this week and at an amazing price! Pics soon…

Have a great weekend!

We recently made a spontaneous last minute, mad dash to Ikea Land in Cardiff. It was also on a Friday afternoon, yes a friday afternoon and not our usual early Saturday morning sneak in and out job which we have been doing for years. David hates visiting Ikea with a passion and the shorter the visit the better for him. Our best record time is ten minutes. It can be done.

I was in desperate need for new tables for my office and after an extensive search of the interweb I decided to go for the Melltorp tables. White, minimal and a starting price of £19.99 for the 75 x 75 cm square version. I bought three, the 75cm square one and two 75 x 125 cm to form an L shape. £73.99 for three tables, bargain.
