Pretty Cups , Books , Hadrian Wall And Happy Birthday !

 

Hello Beautiful People 🥰

Hope all of you are finding goodness in life whether through big happiness or little joys 🙏

It took us or only me probably to settle mentally here but now it feels I am actually back for which I am grateful!  Though time passed in that wonderful apartment has turned into sweet memories finally instead longing to go back 😅 Thanks to my precious eldest son who gifted us those amazing moments for two beautiful months 🥰

This time we visited flea markets few times due to heat first week and then excessive rains for a week later. I noticed that in three years prices of second hand things have tripled or even more sadly . It certainly affects the buyer’s capacity to purchase things of liking on reasonable prices. Honestly flea markets don’t seem for people belong to middle class anymore. I used to see foreigners occasionally in such markets buying show pieces particularly. But I realised they just asked and left the shop when couldn’t bargain with shopkeeper. I bought few cups as cups are my favourite thing to collect because they are often broken by youngest son when he washes dishes sometimes. I was happily surprised to find few cups that attracted me because of their lovely appearance. Sharing below photos I took for this post. I am curious if some of you also like to collect cups of tea mugs during trips to different areas ?  I also bought books but this time only two books. I thought if we will be staying in Islamabad for extended periods I will try to locate some library nearby . Below I have shared a wonderful photo shared by Dear Friend Sue from Scotland. Sue and John are visiting Scotland with her truly amazing sister and her husband who live in Canada. Sue’s sister has cancer which was really a heartbreaking news ! But she instead staying at home and grieving decided to take trips to different European countries ,isn’t it very inspiring dear friends 🥹🥰 I really appreciate such level of strength and wisdom 🤗🥰♥️🙏  As I often say things we can’t control don’t worth wasting time on. So we should embrace the every moment of life gratefully because it’s gift just for once only 🤗♥️

The last photo is of my precious baby, my eldest son who’s birthday is today 🥰🙏♥️  Happy Birthday to my precious Son 🙏♥️Hope you will enjoy my simple joys♥️🙏



Sorry I couldn’t straighten out this photo, first book is written by British author Robert Lomas , I found it’s introductory lines appealing.hope it will be interesting to read. Second book is written by Turkish writer Elif Shafak ,I have read two books and I really enjoyed them .it’s fiction and I feel it also won’t disappoint me.

      These pretty bowls cost  5. 28 dollars that are 1500 rupees here ,so expensive,I had bought plates of such quality in less than half price three years back :(


Each cup cost 200 rupees Pakistani and I didn’t turned them in dollars so you just make a guess please 
               My most favourite one with lush green and flowers and cute rabbit 🤗🥰♥️

                                                        Opposite side of same cup above ♥️

                                                     Both sides of the same cup this and below 

                                                  I love stories and this cups tells one 🤗♥️

                          
                   I loved how the theme of this cup describes grandmother,I wish I could gift it to mine 

      These two  hanging plates cost 1000 and I bet if it wasn’t hubby the shopkeeper would have given me on double as he started first. I could never learn how to bargain. Hubby says I am on the other side instead of his.this sounds serious accusation ☹️

          I love paintings that display village life and this is the only reason I insisted to buy them,I know I can never afford to buy actual paintings in my life. The simplicity is the real beauty and we lost it sadly!

       Sue and her dear sister climbed the toughest and highest part of Hadrian’s wall in Scotland and this is so sweet of her to send me the picture because last time I have commented on her  video  that she seemed little breathless . So she shared this wonderful photo of their accomplishment 🥰👍 

L
Today it’s 32nd birthday of our eldest son 🥹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏. Our hearts can’t stop praying for him as he has such a soft and kind soul which touches every heart he encounters I am sure 🥹🥰♥️🙏

Heartfelt thanks for being with me dear friends 🥰🙏
May each day bring you peace, happiness and health by the grace of God!🥰🙏♥️
