I seem to have an uncanny knack for winning lovely bloggy giveaways.... it's a pity my lady luck vibes don't seem to be able to be superimposed into some other critical areas of my life.

I was very lucky to win a fabulous giveaway over at
Pivotal Expressions last week. You have to go and check out
the draw. Beky's dog had to choose a schmacko to pick the winner...hilarious!
I received a really funky set of printed cards designed by
Beky and a cool crafty bookmark.
Beky has an
Etsy Shop and she's also going to be at the next
Made'n'Thornbury market on September 5th.
Thanks Beky!

I also had a little bit of a craft shopping spree again last week... paypal is like having monopoly money. I
bought one of
Michelle's gorgeous
Loving the Vintage caravan brooches, with the intention of giving it to my sister (there's an
in joke about caravans with her and her hubby).... but now I don't want to actually give it away!

I also couldn't resist
buying a
Royal Sisters chocolate brown crocheted necklace for winter (there's something cosy about chocolate brown at this time of the year), and
Michelle included a beautiful matching hairband as well, which will be perfect considering that I haven't been to the hairdresser since March (hello grey tips).
PS -
Michelle is having an
amazing giveaway including the cutest little pink wrist warmers that I've ever seen...
