Christmas Presents... Part 3

I was lucky enough to receive a number of Cath Kidston goodies for Christmas from friends and family and I know you will want to know what....


I have to say I've only had a quick browse through the book and there is an fabulous bathroom in there!

Tomorrow I'll show you the surprise present I received from my parents.

I went thrifting on Monday but wasn't very successful unfortunately, only 2 Enid Blyton books to add to my collection.

I had some success in the sales, mainly Christmas decorations (sorry I was unable to photograph everything the lighting was causing me problems) and these tins which will prove useful I'm sure


This vintage inspired Santa waited for me


I saw him Monday without a sale price and didn't want to go through the hassle of finding out how much... when I returned to the shop today there was a huge sale ticket on him and home he came with me

How do you tackle the sales? Do you have things in mind.... a plan of attack?

I've only visited local stores, I haven't braved the main shopping centres yet although I'm planning a trip to Selfridges on Friday

oooh.... so many pretty posts to catch up on! :)
i've been avoiding the sales because Christmas left me penniless. lol. It's hard!! When I have to go to a store, I force myself to walk past the great sale items. It's depressing really. lol!!

Someone has been a very lucky girl!!! I've done quite well in the sales this year... I don't normally bother 'cos I'm working & I hate fighting in my lunch break :) x

Very pretty CK goodies :) I wouldn't mind a copy of that book myself!
Which Enid Blyton books did you get? I always look out for them when I'm thrifting and managed to get one today too - the 2nd Malory Towers book :)

It's so nice whan Santa brings what you actualy want!
I usually hate sale shopping but braved it on the 27th and it was almost like a ghost town! I managed to get a bargain coat in Laura Ashley so I was happy.
Hope you had a great Christmas

Girl, you have made a terrific haul this year indeed! Of course, you deserve every little bit of it. I must say I especially like the bowl and pitcher. I could watch Steel Magnolias again, and again, and again! Have a wonderful New Year and best wishes for 2009!
