Lil and I have a little thing. It’s called: the peacock. It all started during an editorial trip in Greece (just read this) and since then the peacock has been our mascot. Move over pineapple, flamingo, and avocado, the peacock is cool and you want it everywhere, especially in your interior. And then suddenly there was the sweetest little gift. ‘For my PAUWervrouw’, I read, as I tear off the paper. For a small two seconds, I am face to face with a golden peacock candlestick for my new little place. I have never been so ridiculously eager to light a candle. Bring on the cold, because I have a peacock. Thanks Lillie, this is what I call gifts.

Oh and, if you’re a fan: you can score Mrs. Danoontje Pauwerrrr here at H&M Home. You’re welcome.
