London Trip

i have just come back from a lovely visit to London with my sister Marie, we had a great time, so we set off in comfort as there is always alot of walking to do in London..so my very first pair of converse did the trick..
and what fun we had... looking at the lovely shops...one of my favorites...


and then we did some window shopping...
another favorite shop
 and lots of lovely things to see




and then we had lunch.. in style..
and learning to get around the underground...

and we met some famous faces
and we saw a lovely wedding in sloane square..

lovely things

sometimes a blog doesnt have to be about a story.... just lovely things... here are some i would like to share with you....
and why not start with a star... and shine every single day...
and another sort of chocolate star...
and then i found a lovely heart.. sorry i had to boil it....

and then i saw these gorgeous sparkly shoes.. well i am a girl after all....and you can never have too many.. or when all else fails.. buy some new ones...always cheers me up...

and then we have a lazy day and just have to sit down...

and then we have these little favorites..

chilling out....

it was great to have a long weekend and with the weather being brilliant i just thought i would set off for the day and discover our beautiful antrim coast...
this was a stunning field of bluebells...

forest, that i plan to go back and walk.. it is stunning.. just below the slemish mountain.. which i plan to climb.. not on the same day...

carnlough harbour...

there is something quaint about church spires and sunsets...and an ice cream to complete the day..

and the beautiful quirky dots and spots cards have brightened up this window with some of the new owl prints..

thankyou

i was so touched today, i got this beautiful hand made thankyou card, hand delivered by the cutest little girl Eva....so now i know what it is like to be on the receiving end of something hand made..it is so thoughtful when someone especially as young as Josh and Eva go to the effort... i,ll be keeping their contact numbers i may need them to assist me in a few years time...thank you to their yummy mummy Faye..x
i always make an effort to go to local car boot sale, some people think im crazy but i love it and i always manage to pick up somethings... here are some of my finds..
a lovely warren kimble print for £2... found a spot for it on my fireplace beam..


and then two months later i got these warren kimble prints.. for £10... how lucky was i..they are in the sitting room along with the other one..

and then i found these old weighing scales.. paid £3 for them, they are in my kitchen along with some other old kitche utensils...

car boot

i love going to the car boot sale on a sunday morning and i always manage to find some wee bargain
this basket is great for storing all my country living and country homes magazines..

and i got these colourful wellies, they are way too small for my feet but just watch were you will see them next..

and these teeney weeney ones were too cute to leave behind, and i will use them along with the others in my new project...

and look how good they are together...

and i wont go too far on this bike but i have also an idea for how i am going to use it... pictures to follow...


and this bag made of tin will also look good in my shop window...

so i had a very good day at the car book, always worth a visit....
