Happy Sunday!

I have been sick the past few days, but this morning I awoke feeling on top of the world! I made a cool new bow for my shop, I was selling huge ones but I think people prefer a tad smaller. The new version has lots of pretty rhinestones soon. I’m working on lots of new head wear, it can be tricky working out the best contructions methods and materials hence why they take so long to get into my shop, if that ever happens! I made yummy cupcakes which I didnt take a photo of, although they do go pretty darn fast around my boyfriend!

Here are some cool things I found today on the wonderful internet! I have always had this addiction to stationery. when I was young I would always spend my pocket money on new staplers and pens and paper. My favourite is paper goods though…i mean I really love paper!

AND before I forget….I got the lolcat book from Amazon whilst christmas shopping….hehe its so funny definately worth getting!

rainbowsetThis is such a cool jumper. I love stripes, and this jumper would be so versatile! You could wear it in the 70s style with jeans or some highwaisted slacks OR you could tuck it in to a high waisted skirt for a 40s look. I think it would work! Dreamy!

il_430xN.111844934This is the most greatest idea ever! Last year I totally had overdue library fees worth £30! I got confused with borrowing times, so silly! This is such a cute way of remembering and the price is so great! I seriously LOVE this shop!

The weekend

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!
