I love this shop its called ‘Atellier’ I loved these shoes too. I really would kill for a pair but they were tres expensive!

These vintage dresses are beautiful too! Id love the figure to suit the red one but id probably have to go for the black! These are handmade by a local girl I think, her business postcards are all over the little shop so Il try and pick one up next time im in. I would LOVE to have a walk in wardrobe in a big house and it be decorated like this.. With a spiral staircase included.. of course lol

I really would love a candle tea cup set up, but its £15 – that may not seem like a lot but when you cant work you cant afford to be spending money on things that wouldnt necessarily be viewed on by the government as a living necessity when they eventually review your sick case lol.

I love all this retro wizard of oz stuff! Id love a broach!

These are the best tarts ever! The stall was from a bakery in Britany. Yum.. Yum Yum…. I got a wee apricot tart too.

Cuz im phat

Spent the rest of the day printing out photos and sticking things into my dec daily trying to figure out what i did on what days cuz I havent exactly kept track too well. Then I got distracted when i realised I have to finish my 2009 art journal before the end of the year! Really Ive just been wasting time trying to find inspiration online for christmas gifts and things. Really excited about watching Kirsties Christmas Home on Channel 4 – its alllll about crafts and cooking and things. I watched Nigella on Saturday morning too.. her christmas show was being repeated and all of it just made me soooo hungry so tomorrow Im popping to the veg shop and making me some soup. Yum!

Colourful Wreath

Claire D — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:02:34 +0000

Woo! Colourful decoratings in the dining room! I loves it It wasnt really a lot to put up today, i think i spent more time taking pictures to be honest. The table wont be set up until christmas day – we’re having the family boxing day – so it was really random hanging decorations I was putting up. I love these colours, all to match my mums lovely pink curtains.. the rest is wooden, but all different types lol.. the bookcase is different from the piano the desk in the corner and the plate cabinet thing.So this is a picture heavy post
