I have a poorly boyfriend who has the flu but that hasn’t stopped us from shopping at Exmouth Market this afternoon. I was absolutely horrified to read that Hazel Blears has an Orla Kiely handbag. Orla Kiely is my favourite designer and I have enough handbags and accessories to wear something different every day for…
Busy :)
I have been too busy to blog lately. I spent last week on the Isle of Wight scouring charity shops for lovely vintage fabrics, doing lots of touristy things like Brading Roman Villa and The Brading Experience and spending lots of time with my mum, sister and nieces. I also bought some lovely Japanese magazines…
Bought from a gallery in Crouch End
I’ve had a busy and expensive few days. On friday I spent lots of money on two new Orla Kiely handbags to add to my expanding collection. I bought my first leather bag, which is red, and I love it. Then yesterday we went to re-visit a beautiful print we saw in a shop window…

We are enjoying spending some sunny days by the sea in Devon. Today I purchased a lovely Lloyd Loom chair which is in desperate need of some tlc. It just about fits in the boot (along with all my other lovely purchases) and I am looking forward to getting it home and covering it with…
Cleaned out!
Right now I am all cleaned out. We have spent the day finishing off loads of half finished projects, so we have filled holes, painted walls, chopped up trees, cleared the garden and cleaned the house from top to bottom. I take great pleasure in cleaning bits of the house that were clearly never touched…
Composting
Today we are feeling very proud of ourselves. We have ordered our first compost bin to recycle all our kitchen waste from here. Apparently it takes 6-12 months to turn into something good enough to actually use…. I’ll have to make sure I don’t get bored trudging to the bottom of the garden with my…
