Hamper Happiness!

I was lucky enough to acquire another Fortnum & Mason hamper from work before Christmas and love the square shape!


It will be a new feature of my living room which I have big plans for over the next couple of weeks with the arrival this weekend of a new bookcase!

Book Review | In Bloom by Alice Whatley

This week I'm still reading Celebrity Shopper by Carmen Reid following a week commuting with friends so chatting was on the agenda more often than reading!

I do also have a copy of In Bloom by Alice Whately that I picked up from the library at the weekend


As you can imagine this book is filled with pages of floral inspiration for the home and I could happily step right into the pages!

Weekend Roundup!

Is everyone having a fabulous weekend?

Once again I've continued being productive at home rewarding myself with a gorgeous roast chicken dinner last night


This morning is was back round my parents to see my niece and nephew


Violet is now 8lb 3oz so I'm not so scared to break her anymore!


When I arrived home I decided to give my bathroom a good clean and finally put up some pictures that have been waiting around for some time


Here's a tour round the rest of my bathroom


Kelly brought me this picture from the famous Rose Bowl Flea Market in LA and it fits perfectly with my bathroom, the following 2 pictures were all brought in LA and are waiting to be framed


I inherited this floral arrangement from my SIL when they moved from a cottage to a modern flat - it perfectly makes the toilet look more attractive!


Another picture picked up at a boot sale and just a couple of bottles from my extensive toiletry collection!


A thrifted mug makes a great toothbrush holder, a murano glass mirror brought on one of my holidays with Kelly, as was the pink pineapple which contains a gorgeous smelling candle I've yet to light!


The Lladro mermaid was brought on my last holiday with my nan and she was the one to tell me to buy it so it's very special

and the last photo from my tour is my cute lil bear who sits on top of my Lloyd Loom laundry basket


Now I must go as I have brownies to bake and sausage rolls to prepare for a birthday at work tomorrow then it's an evening watching Dancing on Ice followed by a relaxing bath!

Happy Birthday!

Today is my wonderful sister-in-law's 30th birthday


There's no lie in for me today as I'll be up at 8am to say a quick hello as she drops my nephew off at my parents to allow my brother to take her out for the day! (and don't worry my niece isn't home alone, she's being looked after by her other nanny!)

Book Review | Celebrity Shopper by Carmen Reid

This week I'm carrying on with the tales of Annie Valentine this time focussing on the downside of fame as a tv star in Celebrity Shopper


The only problem with reading these books is all wanting to go out clothes shopping!!!
