Some of my favourite things....

"...Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens....."

....cuddles from my little girl and reading her a story at bed time
....My mother-in-law's golden syrup pancakes with extra syrup on top...yum


....sitting down with a cup of tea, a big bit of cake (any kind, I'm not fussy!) and watching a good girly film or period drama...girly heaven.
.....going somewhere romantic just with my hubby and not being ill!
.....going to the movies

.....knitting

.....going for a walk in the countryside or beach, getting really cold, then coming home and warming up in front of a fire with a cup of tea.
.....finding in my house a nice pen that works!

What are some of your favourite things....let me know and on Sunday 18th January I'll draw a name from a hat. The winner will receive a pair of my camel brown gloves with plum ribbon as pictured here, but the only difference is that the ribbon will be at the other end of the gloves! Something to cheer you all up and to banish away those January blues x


I managed to bag myself a treasury on Monday and I have filled it with lots of luscious plummy coloured items....here's to the front page of Etsy!

"When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel, so bad."

Loving Etsy

I think I could spend all day trawling though Etsy choosing gorgeous things I would love to buy, so I thought I would share some of them with you. I'll be doing some painting and drawing later on today so I post something up when the mood takes me XX

"Hamish" from Mogwaii....big up all Scottish Etsy sellers. Really love this.

I love good photography and I love this image from ValeriaH ...really beautiful, delicate. feminine.

I really enjoy looking at gorgeous illustrations/graphics so here are some of my favourites that caught my eye....

"Imagination" by Dazeychic

"Head Parade" by MultiplePersonality


"A Life of Love and A Life of Happiness" (1 of 2) by LaurenAlexander


"Hotel City" by Janicej

Anyhow...that's enough for the moment. I had better go and get out of my PJ's and tidy up the tip that i call my home! I have also got a very fidgety 3 year old (almost 4) on my lap watching Tom and Jerry who is making this quite tricky!
I post some more of my favourite sellers soon...especially jewellery XX
