Blog Shop Shopping!

I've been doing a bit of shopping this past week, no I haven't been fighting through crowds, I've been sat at my pooter ordering from fellow bloggers blog shops.
Personally for me there's no nicer feeling than looking at something handmade and knowing how much love has gone into it and of course the fact that no two items will be the same makes that feeling even nicer.

My first delivery was from the lovely Mary Poppins shop...........Vintage Daisy, when I saw this gorgeous Christmas bunting.............









I really really needed it 'hehe' and it fits perfectly across my bookcase, can't wait to put it up.
Naughty Mary also included a Birthday treat for me, a gorgeous matching heart................









along with some lovely stickers and a gorgeous smelling mandarin, clove and cinnamon oil.

My next parcel was from Bloomin Myrtles shop, I knew she was putting these in her shop so sat up very late one night to order as I knew these would sell very quickly.

Gorgeous gingerbread house............









and the back of it...................








Truly gorgeous and smells lovely too.

I also couldn't resist this little beauty.................








I've named her Myrtle and she currently watches over me while I sew.

My final parcel was made by the lovely Lace hearts which I was fortunate enough to win in a KIN auction over on the SCC. I can't show you as it's for my DD but you really should pay her Sew Happy shop a visit. Caroline is the Queen of fabric buckets and has some gorgeous items in her shop.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend

Vouchers............spent

Would you like to see what pretties I bought with my vouchers? If you're as nosey as me you would.
A few of you have asked what bad I decided on, i'd made my mind up to go for the tulip one but once I got there I couldn't decide so I let my lovely OH choose









I'd say he has extremely good taste, wouldn't you?

I was really taken with the cowboy one too but kept thinking what Claire said about not wanting to use it without the kiddies in tow, so got my cowboy fix with another one









When I saw this..............









on Victorias blog, I knew it was for me. Rich said "you never play with your DS", I said "but I will if I have something pretty to put it in!. Only problem is, neither DD or I can find our chargers.

Other pretties I bought were, pretty mugs......................









just for me!

Love the smell of these..................









Pretty tins..........................









I've had my eye on these for a while but had resisted temptation untill now.

That was my vouchers spent but i'd also been very lucky and had had some money from Rich's Grandparents. With that I bought....................









As you can see, I was a very lucky girl and to finish my day off nicely here's what I walked into last night..............









This really bought a smile to my face.

I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to my gorgeous family for the wonderful presents and for making my last 3 Birthday so special. I love you all so very very much xxx

From my DD..........................














All bought with her own pennies.

My little man must of saved very hard to buy these rather extravagant gifts 'hehe'









Don't you just love this card..................









From my lovely Other........................









and more of these.........................









So, as you can imagine, the day was spent in Bristol visiting our friend Cath (more on that tomorrow).

Would you like a slice of cake before I announce the winner of my giveaway









Drum roll please ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................












The winner of my Birthday/Bloggyversary giveaway is............................................................................

Which one?

I love my Cath bag but really need a Mummy bag and think the messenger bag would be ideal.
I'm hoping to get one out of my Birthday vouchers/money but which one...............














or maybe even this one......................









Don't forget, you have untill Wednesday to enter my Birthday give away if you haven't already.

((hugs))

Have fun in what ever you do!

DD is off to a party and as J is still a bit too young to go trick or treating so we'll be sat in waiting for the door bell to go!

((hugs))

I'm beginning to feel very spoilt of late, a pretty parcel arrived in the post for me yesterday from the lovely Mary P........................








The cowboy towel lovingly made by Mary is just adorable and i've had my eye on her lavender pillows for a while so I was a very happy girl but that wasn't all, she'd also made me this gorgeous brooch.............










Love it, a Mary Poppins original!

I'd also ordered something from her delightful blog shop but as it's for DD I can't show you.

I was also spoilt by DS no.1 and his girlfriend today. This is the only time i'll get to see them before my Birthday as they both do shift work. Not only did we go out for lunch but I received some lovely gifts too.....................









Apparently I also have this one .......................









but Amazon haven't delivered it yet.

Yes, I am a very lucky girl and couldn't believe my luck kept running when in a CS today I came across, not one but five of these...................









((hugs))

Blog shop updated

I've just updated my blog shop with a few more bits.....................




Pretty pin cushions









I think these would make lovely Christmas gifts!

Hearts for the boys









A couple of larger hearts have also been added, I'm hoping to add some more bits before the end of the week but as i've been told I have definately got a table at the craft fair then I need to get busy, busy, busy.

I am also very happy to say that I have just taken a nice little order from a friend so I need to get on with that too.

((hugs))
