More Happy Saturdays

My plans for this evening were cancelled and you know how sometimes that happens and it's a blessing because you can tuck yourself up in bed with a pile of DVDs

the latest Summer catalogue from Next

2 new books

(Vintage Chic has been borrowed from the library but it is most definitely going onto my Amazon wish list)

and magazines from mum's trip to London to buy my birthday presents for next next month!

(I'm taking the Cath Kidston one as a good sign!!)

Hope you're having a great weekend too

New Bedding

Do you like my new duvet cover?

Only £11 from Tesco - what a bargain!!

Happy Saturday

This morning I woke up bright and early and headed to my local TK Maxx store to hunt down some CK goodies... and SCORED!

How cute is that red and white spotted bath mat?! £7.99 - bargain. As you can see I also couldn't resist The Gentle Art of Domesticity which I recently borrowed from the library and knew it was a book that had to be added to my collection, only £12.99 - bargain no 2.

Then I came home for some lunch, a good magazine and a DVD selected from the library

I hope you're all having a great Saturday like me, it doesn't end there as this evening I'm off to see this and eat here

A Date with CK!!!

Look who I met at Selfridges today

Yes the lovely Cath Kidston who was signing copies of MAKE!

She was a lovely woman and asked if I sewed. I told her I was hoping to learn and she confessed to me it's wasn't her strongest point! She also told us the new catalogue is coming out next week so look out for it!

Here's my signed copy and the other bits and pieces I picked up

If you spent over £40 you received a free bag which will be perfect to store in my work bag

When I left Selfridges I headed to the V&A Museum of Childhood

I haven't been there since I was a child (I'm sure I remember it being much bigger!!) but it was nice to have a quick look around and of course I found some bits and pieces to bring home

I love these Etiquette Books and one can never have enough postcards!

If you're local to London and have little ones it's worth a visit as it's free entry and there's a lovely park next to the museum where you could eat a packed lunch

Hope you all have a great weekend!
