I got a tiny bit over-excited about my citron macaron
I went to Paris on the weekend and had the most amazing time. The city is so full of history and beautiful buildings. I nearly wanted to cry when a French lady said “Merci”, I was like finally I’m in Paris! The Eiffel tower was so much bigger than I expected, Notre dame was beautiful and of course the Louvre was everything you would expect. The best experience of course was going to La Duree. We had the most gorgeous hot chocolate and the most amazing dessert I’ve ever even looked at. I bought a box of macarons that came in this gorgeous box that I will keep forever and ever! Paris is the perfect romantic city!

I’ve spotted a few adorable things online today, so thought I’d share!
I’m not a HUGE mushroom fan, but this journal and plume pen set is so cute!
We’ve already got the titanic and space invaders tray now I need more! These tiki heads would be perfect for silly luau parties.
This is so adorable!!!! Lollipop brooch, why didn’t I think of that?
This is so exciting! I’ve always loved with Jane Austen’s pride and prejudice, and this book puts you right in it! its silly, but totally cute!
This is definitely on my wish list for Christmas, actually I might have to go out and by one BEFORE then!
Its getting mighty cold London now, so I’m in need of a good little milk pan, this one looks perfect!
Got to go now, home time! x
I had such a nice weekend, Saturday I spent the day unpacking and my sewing area is looking nearly finished. Love unpacking all my pretty things and placing them all nicely in the new house. I just cant wait for everything be back to normal, I’ve got so many pending projects! Saturday afternoon I took some pictures of the kittens…they are growing up so fast and getting very very naughty! Sunday we went into town and I went to one of my favorite stores, paper chase, I know its not that brilliant but for a stationery addict like myself its the best fun a girl can have! They have started getting in their Halloween merch and even have their entire Christmas shop open! They have glittery skulls for Halloween, and all sorts of silliness! The Christmas decorations this year are so silly, pink fluffy poodles, and giant sequined owls! We usually go and buy a few new decorations every year. But this year I want to have a real Christmas tree and I’m going to make all the decorations following lots of tutorial from here. We also went into Forbidden planet (my boyfriends favorite store) its full of comics and figurines I picked up a couple of things for a swap im doing with a lovely couple from America that I met here. I even picked up a Star Trek compendium for my Dad for an amazing £1.99! I have a good mind to keep it for myself, but I have far too many books as it is!

We moved into a nice big house in North London recently and we decided to buy a nice vintage bar. Although we haven’t quite found what we are looking for, I’ve started buying all the lovely things to fill it with once we do. My first find was this lovely set of 1950s shot glasses with a cards/las Vegas theme. I love that in comes in a little caddy, it makes it so nice and neat….and uber cute!

We finished off our Sunday outing with a visit to our favorite place in Soho, Paul’s Patisserie. Its the most amazing place to have a spot of pastry. Kurt is in love with their cappuccinos and pain Au raisin , I on the other hand LOVE the hot chocolate and tart citron! I’ll remind myself to take a photo next time!
I’ll post pictures later this week of my paparchase purchases, and my finished sewing area…once I finish it ofcourse!
