we have a funky little window in our apartment. i’m sure that one day, way back in 1895 (or something), the dwellers of this little love nest had a lovely view of the street. but over the years someone got the bright idea to build a staircase and then to enclose said staircase (darn you, building codes). as a result, we are left with a window that looks out onto our neighbors sneaking down the back stairs to deliver their recyclables to the curb. but we don’t really mind. and in fact, i like to leave pretty little flowers on the sill to make their garbage trips just a little bit sunnier. here are this week’s flowers, from inside looking out, and outside looking in. and yes, sometimes we draw the curtain, but sometimes we don’t–we like to pretend we’re fishes.

i love the assortment of glass vases! and i feel you – from our back windows we look directly into our neighbors living room. 🙂
nothing better than fresh flowers in found bottles and vases! Love this today!
love the flowers!
Haha, I’ve lived in places before that had cute little “quirks” like that 🙂 Love the flowers and little vessels!
Love that flat of yours!(Trust me quirkiness is much more fun than having a new-ish tract home..blech) I love the photos and the super pretty flowers in varying vases! Simply lovely!
Darling! Those flowers would definitely brighten my trip to the garbage!

Haha, I’m a fan of all windows, even if they have funky views. Actually, my favorite views are when I get to spy on neighbors, so win win?
Those bud vases are super cute. I’d love some flowers to make my trip to the laundromat less bitter!
