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...
Spotted! Toy Soldier Stickers.
We LOVE Spin Collective. We do. And moseying around the site this week, I saw these. And my head did that double-ping-floompf thing it does when you see something and just *know*. Then, to prove my point, the 8yr old Jolly walked in at that precise moment. And stared. And stared some more. And then said “oohhhhhhhh. COOOOOOOOL! CanIHaveThemPleasePleasePleaspleasePlease?” I’m not a big fan of his army crush. but these...
Spotted! Bestest cutlery Ever-ever
Brilliant. I love these! So very cheerful, would match any eclectic vintage kitchen perfectly. Though I could see fights if everyone loves the green spots best – and there’s only four place settings so I’d have to get two sets. Shame… £24.99 from the always-fab Mollie & Fred
