Hooray, I nearly made it, blogging every day throughout November. There were a couple of times when I just couldn’t get to the laptop or I just couldn’t think of anything to write. Tonight we are on the Isle of Wight having survived a pretty turbulent trip over the Solent. I managed to complete my…

Day 8
My Stanley looks nothing like the picture. I may have to have another go.
Winter Cath Kidston catalogue
The Winter Cath Kidston catalogue was waiting for me when I got home from work today. These little tins are cute (although I have plenty of proper vintage tins for my button collection). I love this new Christmas fabric … and these decorations. I think I’ll be heading off to my local Cath Kidston shop…

Today I visited the Cath Kidston sale again and after much deliberating came away with a large sewing box. As you can see I have an almost identical smaller version but it hardly held anything. The new one is much much better. Some new purchases also arrived courtesy of ebay, some lovely vintage bias and…
1 day to go until we move!
Finally, our last day in our flat! I can’t believe after a whole year of planning we’re finally ready to move into our beautiful Edwardian house. I’m so excited but sad to be leaving our little flat. I’m going to miss living in Zone 2 and I feel like a true Islingtonite through and through….
