Parasol & Paper Swap

Someone reminded me that I still hadn't posted my swap goodies from Bek for the Parasol & Paper Swap... so here they are!

All these paper goodies

And look at this parasol - absolutely stunning!

Thanks Beks! And if you want to see what I sent Bek you can read this post

I've also signed up for a couple more swaps which I'll tell you more about this week

Santa's in town!

Father Christmas has arrived in London.... specifically a beach outside Harrods!

Ready the article here

Is there a bookaholics?!

I've purchased 2 more books (and have another 3 on order!) to join my ever growing collection... do you think I can afford a flat with space for a craft room AND a library?!!

Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer is a fantastic trip down memory lane and is my bedtime read at the moment

Another beautiful book by Anna Corba, Making Memory Boxes is full of inspiration

Mamma Mia!!

Last night I took mum to see Mamma Mia. Despite being an Abba fan I wasn’t particularly eager to see the film but everyone kept telling me how great it was and I’m so glad I’ve seen it!

It was fantastic and if you haven’t seen it already… get to a cinema quick!

It was funnier than I expected and of course the music is great!

***NEWSFLASH***

Cath Kidston has a new children’s range you can see here

I have a feeling my future nephew will be receiving some of these cute cowboy items!

A Thrifty Find....

It was wet and rainy this weekend so I didn't have an opportunity to visit any boot sales but I did find this vintage icing set in one of my local charity shops!

Can't wait to have this on display in my kitchen!

Someone reminded me last week that I still haven't shown the goodies I received from Bek for the Parasol & Paper swap so I will do that this week - they're fabulous and wait till you see what she made me!

Gift Vouching

A friend gave me some vouchers for a lovely local shop which I've only just got round to spending this weekend...

I think this Wicked sign will be great for Halloween

And I loved these other bits for my bottom draw

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!
