Mother’s Day Gifts – The Head Case

Is it wrong to really have snorted at these? Like most of Twisted Twee’s items, they’re quirky, foolish – and a lot of fun. Naturally of the best quality Egyptian Cotton, though. And this one made my boys snigger too… (Though I’m not sure if that’s indicative of my mood upon being woken, or my sculpted bed head hair…) All Head Case pillowcases are £15 berzackly from the...

Back in the dim and distant past i used to collect key rings. I had a large chain in my bedroom, and I used to clip them on – I think I had over 250 at one point. Sadly, I no longer proudly display 250-odd dangly things to decorate my bunch of keys – but it did leave me with a  deep-seated affection for a pretty keyring.
