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 :)

stardust and suprises!!

i am ever so ever so ever so sorrry for the ever so ever so ever so long time between posting yet again!!!! but everything since starting work again at uni has been absolute complete madness, completely and utterly busy. busy busy busy. but rather wonderful!!! no more sadness and tears, but smiles and giggles. all of you lovelies helped ever so much with your kind words and beautiful posts
thank you ♥

the last few weeks here back at uni have been filled with new projects, new ideas, group work, catch ups over hot chocolate, many phone calls home, whisper mail, smiles, giggles, cuddles, fairy lights, pretend candles, film watching, dancing around and around in my room


oh i did not show you the christmas gift i gave to my love yet, silly silliness. it was not much at all. a collage of pictures and lovely heart warming times. smiles and loveliness. cut out hearts and little i love you doodles. handmade silver frame. all on cardboard, from the box our squeaky shooping trolley came in, that makes us giggle ever such a lot. so very little money i had, there was not much i could do. but it made him smile, and it is up in his room.

the first few days being here before work started were filled with teeny treats. we watched our films, snuggled up. blueberries and tea. chocolate mousse. more tea. ever such a lot of it. pink milk. chocolate milk. we went out with friends also. we all went out for dinner. it was quite wonderful and giggley.


then i was back. i was making and doing and learning, finding out all i must do before summer. which is a lot. more than i expected. i must put on a group exhibition ever so soon and prepare for another in april. oh my goodness so much work. and essays to be done also. ever so much writing to be done. but i will enjoy it, as it is what i love. creating and drawing and sewing and making. i was finding it ever so hard to find inspiration to start. i did not know what i should do. i do not have feedback from before christmas yet either. i have brought a glittery notebook, however, with a very special purpose. shhh. whispers and magic and a moon best friend. our adventures will go in there. ever so carefully. rosie and lottie.

i put something together one evening last week which made me smile at the silliness i had done. such silliness. and i spilt the glitter, oh dear, glitter everywhere. but my desk looks ever so pretty and magical, i am yet to clear it away. my new little friend, an owl. a funny owl. a glittery owl. a silly owl that spilled from my mind. just something to make me giggle.


oh and my dears now for the most exciting part of my time at uni so far. the cheeriest most wonderfullest and happiest of them all. oh my goodness. not one, not two, but three magical packages arrived for me!!! it was simply amazing. how i adore recieving post. and what special packages they were also!!!
the first two were from
my godmother.
late christmas gifts. the first was a book by one of my favourite authors, elizabeth elgin. she writes so beautifully, her books are enchanting, and full of romance and wonder. this book was called 'ill bring you buttercups' and i love it so very much. and the paper it was wrapped up in made me ever so excited also. on the back was a beautiful floral pattern, so delicate and pretty, so i used it to cover a new notebook, as i could not throw it away!!!

the second from my wonderful godmother was beatrix potters journal. oh my goodness, it is such a magical book!!!with many secrets and flaps and folds and suprises. and such beauty and treasures. it is truely amazing.


the third package was ever so ever so special i cannot tell you. it has made me smile and grin and giggle ever ever since. it was from my wonderful wonderful moon best friend, the ever so special one, little lottie, lovely angel. such treasures she sent. all wrapped up and hidden in so much glitter you never did see!! i think i shall sparkle always. it covered every inch of myself and my bedroom and made me giggle ever such a lot. she sent secret notes, a darling little book full of wonderfullness and wonders and magic. lots of teeny little suprises. delicate drawings. the teeniest little book and note which was ever so adorable, from the equally adorable tilly~rose. who also sent me a strawberry drop. such cuteness!!! stars and stars and stars. and a
moungst the magic there was a tiny worry doll, so i shant worry anymore. and it has worked. i have been ever so happy!!! and a charlie and lola plaster, just in case. and a charlie and lola dvd!!!! she is the sweetest and kindest and wonderfullest moon best friend in the whole entire world!!! i curled up in bed last night to watch the cute dvd, with teeny giggles and smiles. i feel ever so lucky. and i am, to recieve such magic. i am i am. the glitter i could collect, that had not stuck itself to my hands, clothes, cheeks, eyes, hair and bed, was placed in my fairy mail jar, with my hundreds of stars. a jar of smiles and magic.


such wonders.

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!!
