it's saturday.....x

have done a little shopping, a little reading, a little tidying and a little cooking....my little shopping included the cutest pink washing up bowl....a completly unecessary, indulgent purchase....aren't they the absolute best?

i did, however, resist a lovely cream vintage phone, the equally lovely cream kitchenaid mixer {that i have been pining over for a long while} and the few items left in cath kidston that i havn't already purchased.....

oh, and that's not counting the *window shopping* at etsy this afternoon.......so many things, so little money!

shopping list saturday......whiter shade of pale x

the snow has gone, washed away in a deluge of rain.....slightly wistful, the garden looks so much sadder without it's blanket of white, but i know i'll be thankful when i'm on my way to work on monday morning.....

a day spent shopping, & tackling crocheting......one granny square completed, although to call it a square might be stretching the truth a little, but will perservere....

hadn't done a shopping list for a while now, but have found so many lovely things on etsy that i wanted to share them...

shopping list saturday......fly away x

when you come to the edge of all that you know,

you must believe one of two things;
there will be earth upon which to stand,
or you will be given wings to fly
unknown via thresca

the angel of death has been abroad throughout the land; you may almost hear the beating of his wings
john bright, speaking about the effects of the crimean war, 1855
