Bed Bath & Christmas!

Look at the goodies I picked up in TK Maxx at the weekend. I couldn't think of leaving this blanket behind when I spotted itDoesn't my bedroom look festive now! I'm OBSESSED with Candy Canes so these towels were a must

I also popped into my favourite thrift store and added another Enid Blyton and Ladybird book to my ever growing collection

A successful weekend I think!

THE SHOPPING!

Yesterday I promised to show you some of my purchases from my shopping trip to London

I can never resist notecards or notebooks so the new Hummingbird Bakery stationary line was perfect for me!

Once again I helped line Cath Kidstons pockets - she knows I can't resist polka dots

And as if I didn't shop enough yesterday I couldn't help a little peek in my favourite charity shop today and was pleased I did when I saw these Enid Blyton books

I hope you've all had a relaxing Sunday and if you pop back tomorrow you may find news of a giveaway ;o)

Ladybird SCORE!!

Today mum and I went to the boot sale following a clear out at home

After mum had finished reading the latest copy of Living she decided to have a walk round the other stalls and I asked her to look out for Ladybird books – unfortunately she misunderstood and returned with these modern versionsI kept laughing that she had redeemed herself a few moments later when she went for a second walk and came back with some of these which I added to on my walk round to see total Ladybird books brought today to 24Look at them all!!!!

I said I didn’t mind how much money we made personally the Ladybird books were worth going anyway!

I’m going to be uploading my Ladybird books to this flickr group and I’ve also decided to set up an Enid Blyton one here to add some of my collection to like those I picked up today

Car Boot Sale Vintage Haul #2

Friday morning was one where all you want to do is call in sick and roll over back to bed. Instead I decided to drag myself into the office and request an afternoons holiday. At 12.30pm I happily skipped out of work with the whole afternoon ahead of me. On my way home I stopped to do a little thrifting - here's what I found
Later that evening my SIL and I went to see Coraline

It was a great film if not a little scary in parts (or maybe we're both big babies!!). We both said how peaceful it seemed and described it like reading a book . Let me know what you thought if you've seen it

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend

Car Boot Sale Vintage Haul #1

Last Saturday whilst I was supposed to be helping a friend at a local boot sale I sneaked away to hunt for treasure. I found 3 lovely brooches and a few Enid Blyton books. Tomorrow I will be able to enjoy a proper rummage and fingers crossed I will have more goodies to show you
