Spotted! Childrens Map of the World
When I was young, few books drew me back as often as the big Atlas. You know, the one with tissue between the pages, so big you couldn’t actually hold it up but had to sprawl across the floor to look at it? (*note to self: must trawl the secondhand bookshops to find the children one like it) I’ve been looking for a wall version – but the ordinary map-of-the-world types seem so dry and *whispers* dull. Then I...
Spotted! Isak Oak Tree Wallpaper
Oh. *pauses to allow for recovery from swooning*. Just how darling is THAT bit of fancy for your wall? And and AND. Tisn’t a picture. Oh no. That there is made-to-fit-your-own-walls wallpaper from Isak. Oh yes. So it’ll look a bit like this… Like I said. *swoon* Lots more wonderful stuff on Isak the website
Spotted! Vintage Deckchair Stripes!
*pauses a while for you to just gaze appreciatively* Lovely, isn’t it? Exactly what a sunshiney day was waiting for. And it’s not a modern repro that’s looks charmingly vintage with shabby pins holding it together. Oh no. This is a real Gen-Yoo-Wine spent-it’s-fair-share-of-days-in-the-garden-and-on-the-beach original. You can’t buy them in sets or even pairs – it’s a case of taking what is...
Tear-free hair washing with a Munchkin Shampoo Rinser?
Another interesting test for us, as even “no-tears” shampoo irritates Abbie’s sensitive eyes (inherited her Mummy’s downfalls poor child!). The “device” holds quite a bit of water, so one or two fills rinses the hair clean, which is a bonus when it’s the least favourite part of bathtime! Does it keep water away from the face/eyes? Well, the flexible rubber moulds perfectly around the forehead;...
Mothers Day Idea #7 – The Prettiest of Notebooks *Swoon*
To paraphrase poorly, it’s a fact universally acknowledged that a woman loves stationery. It is. I’ve never yet met a female who didn’t breathe an “oooh!” at the site of a pretty notebook. And, I have to say, as many notebooks as I have, my newest biggest tippety-toppest faves are Paperblanks. Beautiful designs, without being pretty-but-no-point books, they’re manufactured in a sustainable...
Dysons? They Suck. Fact.
When I got married (almost *cough* 20 years ago…), I grazed the pages of the Argos catalogue (no one could ever say I was an Essex Gel wiv no class, eh? And yes, I ended up with a fair smattering of Eternal Beau patterned items. *sigh*) with avaricious greed. A new home, and a Wedding List to use to populate it. Marvelous – many evenings entertainment was had. My vacuum cleaner of choice? The Vax. It was new. It was...
