Mothers Day Idea #11 – Sweet Little Mirror for a Beautiful Mummy
Sweetness in a handbag. The mirrors are handmade in the UK, using recycled and vintage fabrics, and they come in that handy little pouch which can be personalised with up to 9 words (I’m rather taken with being a ‘Beautiful Mummy’ myself). Best of all, at just £6 from Snapdragon they’ll not break the (piggy) bank. Do have a mosey around the site; if you’re looking for something a little bigger the...
Mothers Day Idea #7 – The Prettiest of Notebooks *Swoon*
To paraphrase poorly, it’s a fact universally acknowledged that a woman loves stationery. It is. I’ve never yet met a female who didn’t breathe an “oooh!” at the site of a pretty notebook. And, I have to say, as many notebooks as I have, my newest biggest tippety-toppest faves are Paperblanks. Beautiful designs, without being pretty-but-no-point books, they’re manufactured in a sustainable...
Mothers Day Idea #6 – 100 Postcards from Penguin
Oh how I love these! My husband did treat me to them a couple of years ago – and they have been a much treasured addition to my shelves ever since. You can, of course, use them as postcards – oh yes, they’re fully functioning proper ones. Me?

Mothers Day Idea #5 – A Rather Grand Hat For The Garden.
I have to thank Lou from the Archers at the Larches for pointing me in the direction of Garden Girl. And these hats. I don’t know about you, but I always feel very grown up when I’m gardening. It’s like putting the washing on the line – I’m not faking it I really AM grown up enough for this house/wife/mother/home malarky. But gardening in a pretty hat? Now you’re talking. Graceful, elegant and...
Mothers Day Idea #4 – Fabulous Dahl Cuff Bracelet
Oh. pretty. Lisbeth Dahl silver coloured cuff bracelet with lovely little flower pattern and turquoise stones. And it’s only £9.50 at Hampton Blue!
Spotted! Toy Soldier Stickers.
We LOVE Spin Collective. We do. And moseying around the site this week, I saw these. And my head did that double-ping-floompf thing it does when you see something and just *know*. Then, to prove my point, the 8yr old Jolly walked in at that precise moment. And stared. And stared some more. And then said “oohhhhhhhh. COOOOOOOOL! CanIHaveThemPleasePleasePleaspleasePlease?” I’m not a big fan of his army crush. but these...
