Childfree Shopping…

Well I enjoyed 3 hours of childfree shopping yesterday and managed to treat myself to some lovely trinkets :)

Here are some pictures of a few of them…

I needed some new coffee, tea and sugar canisters for my kitchen but couldn't find any that I liked anywhere…until…I went into CK and found these delightful ones…this picture is from her website.Theses are from the Peter Rabbit shop, I adore Beatrix Potter and just love the Tailor of Gloucester. The postcard book has 60 postcards in it, some for framing and the others to send…that is if I can bring myself to rip them out…lolI love these little angels and have quite a few of the little gift cards and notepads, I saw these postcards in Paperchase and fell in love with them and also some stylish note cards too.

Other things I bought were a little heart shaped wind chime and a pink sequined photo frame from the Shared Earth shop but I have already put them up in my bedroom and 2 little wooden hearts to hand on pictures of the kids. So all in all a good trinket purchasing session was had by me.

      I was lucky enough to be the winner of the giveaway on Andrea’s blog for the Drawn Thread “Random Thoughts” chart and it arrived yesterday too, here is a picture or two of it, once I have stitched this piece it will be offered on my blog as a giveaway too…just to carry on the stitching kindness we all share.   I have completed my piece of secret stitching and also my L*K Exchange piece they need to be made up along with my August Christmas Ornie, I won’t be able to reveal them to you yet I am sorry to say…please be patient lol!!

The weather is bright and sunny today so I am having a washing fest…all the towels etc will be out on the line in a bit, I have cleaned the bathroom, so just the downstairs to vacuum, but not til after lunch as Isaac has a habit of dropping most of his lunch on the floor…lol. Then I will either to a bit of finishing or just sit and stitch a bit more on my current WIP…which is the Sampler Girl’s “At Home”

it’s a really loving design to stitch, I am using the recommended Crescent Colour threads but have slightly changed them around…so the primary colour is purple…better for matching my bedroom :)

Well enough of my waffling…hope you have a fun day…

As always heartfelt thanks for all your kind words and comments I really do appreciate them.

Hugs & Stitches
