Legal Eagle!

Victoria recently lent me her Ally McBeal DVD collection, which I am working my way through rapidly being confined to the house on my own! I remember some from watching the series originally but am loving it none the less!

Feeling a bit better now and hoping to improve over the weekend, only one more day of Tamiflu to take!

What are you watching at the moment?

Lots of Love

Miss Piggy

Hi Ladies sorry for going all quiet on you, I mentioned last Wednesday that I was feeling unwell and things went from bad to worse. I finally gave in yesterday and it would appear I have gone all Miss Piggy on you!

Obviously not looking as good as this!

Now have the antiviral medication so hoping to feel better soon!

Weight Loss Wednesday

It's Weight Loss Wednesday again girls!

Click on the button to link to Jennifer's blog to see her post and a full list of participants.



Sorry for the lateness (and shortness) of this post. Been feeling a bit under the weather and have only just managed to pull myself together!

So quickly! Lost 1lb (still feels like a million to go!)

I'm loving Victoria's posts each week and even though she is my friend and I have heard her advice many times, somehow seeing it in black and white makes it seem all the more sensible! Thank you Victoria!

I promise next week's post will be a little more inspiring!

Lots of Love

Dear Santa.....

I have been thinking about what I would like for Christmas, I have been a good girl (mostly!) and thought I would give you a few pointers as to what I would just love to find under my tree this year!


Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.......
I need this yummy perfume, not only has it got my name but I have tried it and it smells like it was made for me too!


A girl can never have too many bags, and I have decided I neeeeeed this one by Mulberry, pretty please?

I also need some Louboutins, need you understand Santa! Look at the pretty red soles! (Very Prive pumps please!)


A lifetime supply of Lola's cupcakes (calories removed please!!)



Some new wheels?



A Holiday Here:


With him


Or him


Where he will buy me something sparkly in a little, blue box (well diamonds are a girl's best friend!)

Thank you in advance :)

Lots of Love

P.S. What would you just love to find under your tree? (come on have some fun it can be as big or small as you like!)

Vintage and Handmade Bliss!

As you all know (we may have mentioned it once or twice!) Victoria and I took ourselves up to Chipping Sodbury to visit the Vintage and Handmade Fair this weekend.

It was well worth the drive (in the gusting wind and driving rain!) and we both agreed we were very pleased we made the effort to go.
The village itself was lovely, very picturesque and well worth a little stroll round (we probably would have explored a bit more had the weather been better!)

The fair was really well organised and with 26 stands full of treasures.There was lots to drool over!
I could have bought the entire contents of Chipping Sodbury Town Hall but I restrained myself and bought these little gems of lovelyness!

A gorgeous Union Jack cushion with Cath Kidston fabric trim and a beautiful Union Jack pennant with vintage fabric and trims from the lovely Hen at Henhouse. (I had already spotted what I wanted from her preview post!)
The pretty heart was bought from Sal at Sal's Snippets, I just couldn't resist the lovely colours and pretty flower.


I love this patriotic magnet and these pretty floral magnetic pegs from Lucy Bloom. The vintage fabric dusters are from Shabby Chick, as are the gorgeous vintage baubles in the following picture (perfect for my pink, bedroom tree)
The 'Home Sweet Home' card is from the talented Claire at Elfie and Me I just couldn't leave it behind!


I picked up these cool vintage Christmas bits too! The vintage wrapping paper and Christmas badges were from Acorn and Will . The vintage building block has a 'K' on it so obviously I had to bring it home! I bought it, with the Noddy badges from Michelle at Cowboys and Custard.
I'm afraid I cant remember who I got the vintage angel tree ornaments or the Noddy print from, If I bought it from you please tell me!!!


The vintage hair slide, bobby pins and toothbrush and gorgeous vintage Christmas cards are from International Quality Kitsch (I have developed a love of Vintage cards that started at the Rose Bowl in LA)


The visit was very inspiring, and we got to meet lots of fellow bloggers! I might even have a little crafting session myself today!

Lots of Love

Bathing My Soul!

A huge Thank You to the gorgeous LissyLou for passing this lovely award on to me. (some time ago now, sorry for the delay!)

There are two parts to this award.

1. To award those things and people in our lives that, quite literally, bathe our souls. Places, things or people that inspire you, or make you happy

Who or what do we immerse ourselves in that give us a lift and help us to manage the rest of our day. That cleanse refresh and do indeed bathe our souls

2. To award the people whose blogs I love.

So the things that make me happy, calm me and make me feel that little bit better are......

My family of course, I know I have mentioned before how close we are, so I don't need to again (erm but I just did!, you know what I mean!)

My best friend, who can calm me and motivate me in equal measure.

Venice – I love it, just being there makes me smile. It’s beauty never fails to take my breath away! (and it's home to a very special bloggy friend too!)

Blogging – I get so much pleasure from it, and have met some great people as a result!

Time on my own – as much as I love my friends and family I like to just be alone with my thoughts sometimes.

Crafting – I love actually producing something to be proud of

Singing in the car! Seriously, I wail to my heart's content imagining I don't sound like a drain and people would actually like to hear me (In fact, the opposite is true!)

I'm going to present this award to...

All of you!

I would love to read about what bathes all your souls, so feel free to take this award (but let me know if you post it because I will want to make sure I don't miss it!)

Hope you are all having a good weekend!

Victoria and I are at the Vintage and Handmade Fair today, can't wait to share our fun with you tomorrow!!

Lots of Love until then!!!!

Thats right, the Vintage and Handmade Fair tomorrow!

Hope to see some of you there :)

Lots of Love
