Back To School – Kickers. Still kickin’ it.
Shoes are a tricky thing to talk about – I mean, just how exciting can a pair of school shoes be? Well… these aren’t just any old school shoes. Oh no. these are KICKERS school shoes. There is a huge range of colours and styles (*whispers* a few of which are, quite frankly, not-pretty) and some of them are very very lovely. The 8yr old, faced with that whole array of choice, strangely plumped for the traditional ‘Kick...
Spotted! Classic Card Games Set
As a family we LOVE playing card games. They’re just the ultimate toy, aren’t they? Small enough to go anywhere, simple rules everyone can master easily, endlessly flexible in terms of age range, and big belly laughs guaranteed. So I whooped with glee when I spotted this triple pack over on Little Bundles – three great games in one! Animal Rummy (which I’m guessing is a child’s version of Gin Rummy), Old...
Spotted! Pretty Teapot Photo/card/odds holder
I LOVE the busy bee studio website… and I LOVE this card holder. I would love this tidying up the postcards and photographs I have tucked around the pinboard in my kitchen. Gorgeous. It’s definately worth a visit to the Busy Bee Studio eclectic website.

Now, more importantly – why spend £25 on ‘real’ crocs when there are so many ‘mocks’ available for under £4? Well… actually, having been sent some genuine Crocs...
Clothes Plasters. As Moth Patches. Oh YES.
Hee hee! Brilliant! When Suzi from Twisted Twee sent me these ‘clothes plasters’ I thought “Erm… What?” I did. But then I dug out my favourite summer cardigan… and remembered that last summer I snagged it on a door handle, and created a small hole on the pocket. Bah. Then I remembered these ‘clothes plasters’, the Moth Patches. So I tried it. Ironing on the woven patch took, oh, at LEAST...
Summer Slippers
I know, it’s not normally the season for talking about slippers. But I have to tell you about these! Lets face it, The Great British Summer is shaping up much as it usually does. Meh. And I’ll be honest- I get chilly feet even in summer when its grey and damp. But of course big thick warm winter cosies are just too much even for my feet in July. And in stepped Ruby & Ed (quite our fave people when it comes to...
