Hello :) 

Finally, this morning I managed to get Lily to sleep for a little while somewhere other than in my arms! I took this opportunity to do my hair and pick out some jewelry to wear. This is a big difference to my usual getting dressed routine at the moment, which tends to be dash around super fast grabbing the first top and jeans I see and chuck my hair into a ponytail before Lily starts crying because I'm not holding her! So while this outfit may be quite boring, to me it was a big achievement!

The necklace I'm wearing is one of my favourites, I found it in a cute little handmade gift shop last year at the gardens where my graduation was held. The ring I'm wearing is one I made, more like this will be going up in the shop soon!

My little Lily wore her 'I love you mummy' baby grow today, one of my favourites! She is getting so big and changing so much already. She will be a month old on Sunday, which has come so fast! I love my little strawberry :)

How are you all?

birthday treats, charm necklaces and free goodies!!

hello :) I thought I would finally show you a few of the goodies I got for my birthday!! It's only a month late :) I thought I would show you a few of the prettier things I got for my birthday- having just found out I was pregnant, I asked for more practical things and money than pretty and exciting presents! and Im sure none of you would be very interested to see lots of plain maternity vests and t-shirts, and maternity jeans!

I was very lucky and got quite a few cath kidson items :) I LOVE cath kidson! My parents bought me a pretty floral sewing box of hers, with all sorts of cath kidson goodies inside. I got a very cute bouquet pin cushion, pretty tins full of useful bits and bobs like sewing needles and pins, and lots of cotton reels. My auntie bought me a cath kidson mug, the one I have been wanting forever! It has flowers and strawberries and is so so pretty ♥

I was also treated to lots of jewelry this year, which is perfect to make my outfits at the moment more interesting! You can get pretty maternity clothes, but most of the nice things are ridiculously expensive, and I don't want to pay £40 for a top that I can only wear for 9 months! So most of my maternity clothes are fairly plain, but all the lovely bits of jewelry I got make my outfits much prettier :) my family all chipped in to buy me a lovely charm bracelet and a few charms- so far I have a teapot, a cupcake, and a floral charm. It is lovely! I received lots of different friendship bracelets too, which are very cute. My parents bought me  pretty daisy necklace, and David bought me a lovely envelope necklace with an 'I love you' note inside, but I didn't get very good pictures of these and then my camera batteries ran out. Hopefully I can show you soon! And I got some rings which I love, lots of big pretty ones! Charlotte very kindly bought me two, one a big mint green heart, the other is the one in the picture, with the mint green stone. I love them! 

I have some new items in the shop! I have some teacup rings, a teapot necklace, and some pretty vintage charm necklaces which you can see above, which charms such as the eiffel tower, hot air balloons, and tea cups and saucers. 

I also have a special offer on at the moment! If you spend over £10 in the shop, you will receive a FREE friendship bracelet! And if you spend over £15, you will receive an owl ring, the same as the one in the above picture, for FREE!!  click here to go visit the shop :)

I hope your all well :)

Sweet treats and twinkling lights!!

What a lovely day I have had!!! Filled with lots of laughter, smiles and pretty things :) The first of these being my owl necklace, which I got quite a long time ago, but I love him. He goes with absolutely everything, and always makes me smile. He was an absolute bargain, I found him on a market stool for £2, and I adore him!!
I spent most of today in town with my boyfriend, and what wonderful suprises there were today, around every corner!! The first was a very very yummy snack in a cafe. We treated ourself to some hot chocolate and brownies, and they were quite wonderful!!Then to our delight we stumbled upon a small fun fair, a christmasy parade and carol singers!! Everyone was so happy and filled with festive joy, it was wonderful!! I do love this time of year, where the christmas lights are turnt on and everyone is smiling and happy!
I hope the magic of this time of year will make all your wishes come true, whatever they may be!!

I wont be posting for a few days, as I am going home to visit my family, and the computer there is rather old and slow, making it quite painful to try and do anything!! Even if it wasnt, my younger sister is glued to it so it would be impossible to go on anyway!! Therefore, I will wish you all happy weekends and look forward to returning to the blogging world on Monday!!For now though, I must leave you, to go and get snuggled up in my hippo pyjama bottoms and one of my boyfriends baggy T shirts with a cup of tea and good book!!

Sweet dreams and I wish you all wonderful weekends!!
