a pretty post

went for a little wander up to town yesterday when i was on my lunch hour, it was so nice being able to look round the shops with out my HUGE bag that contains 3 nappies, change of clothes for baby, bag of wipes, water bottle, snacks for baby getting in the way !!!..
plus crying baby and buggy!! ( although a pram is great for holding lots of goodies!)
instead i had my little gold slouchy bag and just myself for company!!

i bought a few things so thought id have a pretty post to show you

i bought this throw for our bedroom..its quilted and was only £2.50 which i thought was a bargain,
not sure if I'm that keen on the colours though.don't know if they might be a bit cold looking, you know what i mean??!!





i picked up this little round box which I'm going to keep my pins in as i keep finding them all over the place which isn't so good when you've got a baby learning to crawl!!


i picked up this wash bag as well which i thought i would come in useful for holding medicines etc i thought it was a bit CK'esque..don't u think!..


Ive been looking at this sampler for a while in the junk shop but at £4 i thought it was a little bit expensive ( honestly I'm so tight arnt i!)..but then when i thought about it yesterday, the frame is quite a good solid one, just needs a paint up and if i was going to make my own it would probably cost me more so i bought it
i think the picture is really sweet, and will probably look a bit brighter once the frames done up in either blue or red ( this depends on which room its going in!)


oh and here's the pillowcases i bought for 25p from the bank holiday car boot sale in situ on my bed ( they are the pink ones behind my white ones) i love the pretty edging on them, i wish i had bought a few more now as the ladies selling them had more,oh well maybe next time

  4. Oh some lovely finds. I am searching high and low for a Home Sweet Home anything around these parts!

    Beautiful throw, I don't think it is too cold, infact after seeing the photos of your bedroom on SC Cafe I think it'll look terrific. :)
