Autumn Spotted – sweetest little wooden fox brooch, under £6!
Isn’t he just the sweetest little thing? It’d make me smile every time I checked the mirror if he was snoozing on my coat lapel. The wooden Fox Brooch was spotted in I Love Hearts NOTHS shop. And at this price, why on earth wouldn’t you snap him up?
Quirky – but Amazingly Brilliant – Wildlife Colouring Book from artist Sarah Lovell
A pet hate of mine has always been colouring books. I know, I know, it’s irrational and stupid. It’s not that I don’t like them – quite the opposite. I LOVE a good coluring book – it’s the lack of a *good* one that gets on my nerves so much. When the boys were younger they were never all that fussed about colouring, but now I have a daughter who’s colouring mad, I regularly revisit the Wrath...
What We Thought of the HP Slate 7.
During our road trip through France recently, we were fortunate enough to be reviewing the HP Slate 7. Well – I say ‘we’ in the loosest possible terms. What I mean is, I saw it briefly before it was whisked out of my hands, only to be returned once we were back in the UK.

Girls Saffron Yellow Duffle Coat. *swoons*

But even better than the sheer prettiness, is the sheer...
The one where I speak to the Parenting Coach
I’m allegedly a grown up now. That’s what they say. Sometimes, I look around and see the house, the four children, the 20-year-old marriage, the business, the bank balance (okay, so the bank balance is still waiting to mature into something resembling a grown-up’s space)… and I realise that no one else has cottoned on to the fact that I’m just… me. Masquerading in grown-ups shoes, for sure, but...
Paper Shaker – have you seen them?
I was introduced to PaperShaker over the summer when a friend used them for Wedding Thank you’s – and totally fell in love. I keep meaning to write about them. On the whole, I’m not a big fan of personalised cards. they always seem…. cheap. D’you know what i mean? Quickly banged out designs, on not-very-good cardstock. I’d always rather have a lovely thick plain card, written by hand with thought...
