Saturday shopping fest.

Not much to report today I'm afraid. I am very lethargic and not motivated at all! I'm bone cold so it's time for a very hot bath to try to warm up soon.
However I have been having a nice online browse and when I am rich (which won't be very soon I'm sad to say) I shall indulge myself in material items!

'B never too busy to be beautiful' cosmetics are adorable and what's best about B is their items are vegan, they are against animal testing and they use fair trade!I love the little compacts that house their eyeshadow, blusher and lipstick (pictured here)
Obviously I can't mention B without mentioning their sister brand
'Lush'.
I went into York's Lush shop and the kids were overwhelmed with the smell (Me, no sense of smell again) but it was far too busy to browse (tiny shop) so we left without buying anything. I prefer to look at their online site.
Soaps good enough to eat!


I've got my eye on this lovely skirt from
'Boden', it's called a swishy skirt and just the name makes me want to buy it so I can swish down the street like a swishy thing. Over at 'Toast' I like the look of their ticking bedding set I love ticking, but would have preferred this bed set in blue or red. I like the picture they have of it, makes me want to climb right into that bed and go to sleep.
Online shopping finished I would like to end this post by thanking Dominique at 'Shabby shac' for this lovely award.
If you haven't seen her blog yet you should go and have a look. She has a gorgeous house and an innovative way of giving tulips as a housewarming present. Thank you again Dominique, you are a star.

Love the skirt. Now I only need to lose two dress sizes to fit in one...
You have to enjoy online shopping. We can spend hours looking at a site and choosing what we want and, as long as we don't keep cards or numbers to hand, just cancel it all in an instant. I used to love going shopping in dreams, although since I always bought what I really wanted, reality was sometimes a disappointment when I woke up!

Congratulations from me too...your award is so well deserved! You have the knack for finding the most beautiful things to share with us...my husband is just thankful they're too far away for me to buy!

I picture your house full of such delights, like walking back in time into a Victorian toy shop... no matter if it isn't, your imagination must be rich with such pickings!!

That's my kind of shopping fest! I love Lush soaps (that lemon zesty one is currently in use in our shower), love Boden, love Toast. Hope your Sunday is as enjoyable.

I wanted to tell you that I just read your comment on Mother's Pride about getting your hair caught in the hoover, and it really made me laugh! It reminded me of me - I'm particularly clumsy at the moment.

NO! You couldn't possibly...could you?

You'd better pack your bags and come and move in. You'd fit right in with this lot!
