Move in Progress

It would seem even moving out of one room into a flat is hard work, especially when you have spent the past couple of years buying LOTs of pretties!

This week I moved boxes from home (and some from Kelly’s)

to the flat!

I spent today sorting through them whilst I had an engineer linking my flat up to the buildings Sky dish

I have A LOT of season decorations

and pillowcases and bed linen

and this little lot has to fit into my kitchen somehow!

Bathroom goodies are in place to be arranged

I put my photo frames on the window sill for now to add a homely touch

as well as some little touches in the kitchen

I’m allowing myself a break to catch up on some blogging and then it’s time to make some phone calls and then back to the heavy lifting!

Have a lovely weekend

Disney Time

As I'm packing up my bedroom I'm coming across a few bits and pieces to share with you

My brother & SIL took a trip to Disneyworld last year and brought some goodies home for me

I’ve built up a small collection of Statue of Liberty soft toys so this Minnie Mouse version is a perfect addition

Alice in Wonderland is my favourite Disney character (don’t tell Minnie or Tink though!) so this teabag rest is a real favourite

I can’t wait to serve Mickey Mouse ice cubes in my drinks

but will I be able to bring myself to using the tea towels?

Mirror Mirror

I had a rare moment when my dressing table was tidy so I thought I'd share it with you!

Would you believe I never actually sit here to do my hair and make up!

And even worse I don't think I'll be taking it to the flat with me as I'm not sure it'll go... I will have to see as I do love this dressing table!

Pond Life

The lovely people at Ponds have decided to share with me their vintage beauty secrets and recently sent me some samples from their range to try
