5 brooches and friends #69

Hi there!

Greetings on this hot evening.   
Last night was my school concert- it was very successful despite it being an administrative nightmare setting it up and the temperatures in that hall being very extreme- but my children played really well.

Anyway, here's a fairly simple post sharing some of the brooches and necklaces I have worn recently.

 Glitter bear (Topshop) and glitter heart (Hello Crumpet on Etsy) for a simple green t-shirt.  I find it really hard getting the bear to face upright!
This joke was a bit of a play on words:  His name is Tik Tok (from Sugar and Vice on Etsy) and there are lots of clocks behind him...

 Balloonicorn from Sparkle Happy mama.
TARDIS door sign necklace from Etsy.

Finally, 3 pins:  Unicorn from eBay, Jelly Bear from Sparkle Happy mama and Custard Cream from Nikki McWilliams.

Any favourites here?

Bird watching

All in all it was a rather unsatifactory weekend in terms of achievement and fulfilling tasks etc.  Largely spent at home as I was uber-snotty!  However, I did end up going to take several bags to the charity shop and then ended up having a look in a few.


The robin jumper was my only garrment purchase.  At £3, I was rather taken by it- I have a real thing for robins and it seems churlish to spurn it
On Sunday, I decided to wear it in a largely charity-shopped outfit. The skirt and coat were also charityshopped.  I was rather pleased with the coat- it's the Clara Oswald Screen accurate but in an alternative colour from Topshop which she wears in several episodes and is apparently one of the hardest items to locate! Thank you Charity shop!

A whole plethora of birdy additions completed the outfit and I am wearing a badge from church as we had a team service and so everyone who had a role (in my case, worship band), had to wear one! It says Welcome to Christ Church but you can't really see in the picture.

I had the most horrendous journey to work this morning. I was SOO glad to be nice and early and prompt and was there at 7.30am to catch the 7.34 train...

...I finally reached school at 10.30am!  Utterly ludicrous!!!! All because of a signal failure.

Their compensation scheme doesn't take into account the fact that I now have to give up an extra hour of my own time to make up that time to the person whose class I was late for and the school had extra supply in.  Also, standing in the cold for 1.5 hours was not good for my cold which wasn't feeling AS yucky when I woke up!

Right my dears, I am off to Bedfordshire!
