Meet The Goddess – Keris
Keris was one of our very first Goddesses, and not only does she do them rather well (for a case in point see her classic review of reusable baby wipes). She’s also the author of the Slopsville column on weaning, and the more recent Carless Whispers - which Skoda like so much, they’re lending her a car :). Oh, and I think in real life she has some kind of author thing going on… (do read her Bio on the Amazon page. It will tell you EXACTLY why we *heart* Keris)
So – here’s the world according to Keris…
Hair? Curly
Eyes? Blue
Shoes? No. Stripy socks. Like the witch in The Wizard of Oz.
First job? In a bookshop. Got sacked for taking the day off work after going to see Bros the night before.
What are you reading? A Girl Like You by Gemma Burgess. Utterly wonderful and hilarious.
What do you Neeeeed? A Kate Spade Nook cover for my Kindle. It had better fit.
What do you miss? Philip Schofield and Gordon the Gopher in the broom cupboard.
What do you want for your birthday? To be in New York, baby.
Guilty crush? I generally don’t feel guilty about the weirdos I fancy, but maybe Michael Cera cos I’m old enough to be his mother.
Favourite Quote? “I’m not lying! I’m writing fiction with my mouth.” Homer Simpson
TV highlight of the week? Anything with David Mitchell. And I love Not Going Out (which is handy, cos I never do)
Ice Cream? Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food.
Favourite thing to hate? The Daily Mail.
Favourite day of the year? Today!
Read MoreSpotted! Handmade Liberty Print Blouses
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Handmade blouses, here in the UK. The Peak District, no less.
AND – the very best of all – you get to choose your own liberty print. From over FIFTY flavours, at a quick glance. *swoon*
I just adore this long sleeved smock blouse – but I was equally woo-ed by the pinafore dresses.
There’s a gernormous range of choices available from Peak Princess, sizing starts at 6mths and goes up to 9yrs, and pricing starts at £34.99 for the above blouse.
Like I said. *swoon*
Read MoreIntroducing Us #3 – Katy
Her. Yes. The Other One. Aged? Not telling. Shoe size? Again, a secret. Sock size? Well, that would just give it all away now wouldn’t it….
I’m the second half of the LittleStuff empire and matriarch of my clan; husband, two boy creatures and two boy kittens. I’m the organised, matron-like-barking, techie-geeky one (but you’d never know it to look at me, honest, such a sweet smile….). My previous incarnation was an IT Manager in a law firm, complete with power-dressing suits and evil-boss-lady stare. I’ll tell anyone who’s backed into a corner and can’t escape that I have a degree in English Literature and Psychology – just, don’t get me started on cultural identity in post-colonial literature…. (yawn).
First job? Selling shoes – pongy.
Favourite Book? Beloved – Toni Morrison – just plain jaw-droppingly awesome
What do you Neeeeed? Mulberry handbags – lots of them. Failing that, more free time to do gardening
What do you miss? Friends who live waaaaaaay too far away, 1,000′s and 1,000′s of miles far away :-(
Favourite Quote? “Elvis Has Left the Building”
Favourite Super Power? Time travelling
Love to hate? Desperate-attention-seeking-showing-off. Ugh. Oh, and anything with coconut in it, bleurgh.
Favourite smell? Magnolia mingled with cut grass.. aaaahhhhh
Idea of Bliss? Sunshine, peace, swimming pool, happy kids, relaxed husband, good book with G&T at my elbow
Spotted! beautifullest nursery glider chair ever…
Oh. My. Gorgeous, no? I can imagine many dark night time hours spent curled under a rug in there feeding my new baby. And bedtimes with a pyjama-clad damp-haired toddler curled in my lap while we read tonight’s Mr Men book. Or seeing my 8yr old curled in it herself on a wet afternoon, reading (or more likely paying her DS…). If I haven’t stolen it for my own purposes by then of course…
