I spent a fortune in my head but as im really trying to watch the pennies and the children need things i left empty handed but full of inspitation,it really is a lovely shop to look round and dream over Imet my little sister ,or should i say younger as she towers above me,we met for coffee and went to this adorable little tea rooms where all the chairs are mismatched just the way i like them to be
On the walls are these lovely embroidery hoops showing different fabrics which were lovely and affective,we sat chatted about nothing in particular and giggled about silly things,drank coffee and ate cakes ,twas lovely
My treat was the new mollie makes magazine ,these pictures are adorable
Ahh eye candy Ive also been having a move around of my room again!!,you would be forgiven in thinking i either am totaly mad or have far too much time on my hands ,both i assure you are the case ,my new room just wasnt working so i redecorated my old room and moved back in there
