Tote of the Week and Giveaway: Jessica Zoob
Happy Friday folks! I don’t know about you but I can’t wait for the weekend ahead and spending some quality time relaxing with the OH. It’s been a busy week for us both so I’m looking forward to breakfast in bed tomorrow, reading my book, seeing family, watching Boyhood and perhaps going for a walk in this lovely town of ours. Or I might just watch a considerable amount of The X-Files, time will tell. Anyhoo! It’s tote bag time and this week’s offering…

Giveaway: Rakuten’s Play Hobbies and Crafts
Did you start the year promising yourself you’d begin a new craft, start a project or even just get round to finishing one? I know I did. I’ve been wanting to learn how to make clothes for a while, merely because I have such a hard time finding clothes that fit my shape and when I heard that Tilly Walnes had a book out with all her peachy patterns, including her Mathilde blouse (meant to be, yes?), it was just…

Giveaway: Archie and the Rug Craft Book Bundle
Picture the perfect weekend scene; waking up to the radio, popping the kettle on and pulling out some pre-made pancake batter from the fridge for a lazy morning breakfast.

Let’s celebrate the start of the weekend with another giveaway on the blog! Fancy a new pair of glasses of sunglasses, courtesy of My Optique? Then read on, my friends.

Giveaway: MOO Business Cards
Good ol’ MOO. I’ve use the digital printing company ever since I started this blog, three (and a half) years ago, and have yet to be disappointed. I get a kick out of anything personalised which is why a little piece of card with my URL on causes instant happiness on my part. As previously mentioned, I’ve been playing around with my banner/logo for the past few months. Trying it out on the blog, then starting all over again, I…

Elderflower Popsicles and a Giveaway!
Over the Bank Holiday weekend we had the chance to enjoy the sunshine and all its benefits – namely eating outside and chomping on popsicles (I much prefer the American description to our British ‘ice lollies’). I came across a Blackcurrant and Cox Apple Lolly recipe after receiving a couple of Belvoir Cordials to try out. Instead, as I’m a bit obsessed with the stuff, I thought I’d make some Elderflower Popsicles. They are exactly as I imagined – refreshing, easy to make and relatively cheap…
