So  Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone :D I hope you all has a good one. I appreciate how late it is to be saying either one, but I haven't blogged since either occassion so I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I'm feeling sorry for myself atm and writing this to you from my sick bed :'( I have somehow (skillfully?) managed to avoid whatever it is that affected most of my friends, workmates, family and fellow bloggers over the festive period only to be hit by it after evrything is over :( Even chocolate makes me feel sick :'(

Anyway yesterday we drove up to see my mums sister and her family in Montgomery. I was quite excited and wanted to go as its the first time that I got to see her shop since she opened last year :D  I swallowed lots of parcetomal and wrapped myself in a few layers and managed not to feel to awful on the long drive up (nothing worse than car journeys when you feel poop)

*just so you know there are looottssss of pictures below :) *

I love this its a storage box that looks like a book

I was quite excited to see these. I love shabby chic

storage boxes. I usually get them from Tx-maxx but they have been

sadly lacking of late

Pretty buttons

Bath bombs. These look and smell so amazing. I didnt buy any though

as sadly I am not a bath person I love my showers

There gorgeous new puppy lizzie! Shes so unbelievably

cute even if she did try and eat my new boots :)

I'm not sure why I love these so much but I just want to put them in the bathroom :)

Sorry about the less than brilliant photos but it was reeeeally cold up there and I wasn't in the mood to stand too still and get better ones :|  Anyway I love her shop its amazing. It was really hard not to buy everything in there too lol. There were a lot more shabby chic items in there than I was expecting. If it was me they would end up in my room and not in the shop, so I guess its just as well its not me who owns it :)

Heres what I (eventually) brought

I have a thing about anything to do with love on it

Not really sure why

I love this little wooden birdy :)

Little pretty storage boxes.

Not sure whats going in them yet

love and kisses

Vintage arty jwellery

Like most girls who write blogs I love anything vintage and when I found all these pretty girly vintage charms and art work, I wanted to share it with fellow bloggers :) I love this style of vintage style arty jewellery. Sally Jean alexander is an artist who makes these gorgeous pendants which you can use as pendants or charms on a charm bracelet. They're really gorgeous and quite quirky pieces that would make a nice present this christmas for someone, or yourself if your treating :)

Letter pendants. She does plain lettering ones as well but I think these are much prettier. I think these would look really pretty strung together on a charm bracelet or as a keyring

These were just a few of my favourites :)

 I think they are about £9 each (converted from dollars),

 which might seem like a lot indvidually but they are gorgeous and It seems

 about a right amount to spend as they would make a nice present for someone

(or do  just have jewllery lust and am crazy? :p)

Christmas pendants. These were my favourite ones,

 especially the candy cane sucker. Its so cute and I am a serial

candy cane cruncher every christmas :)

I love these ones. I think they would make better keyrings or bag charms

than pendants personally, as they look a little heavy

These were my favourite two

I'm not sure why I like this one so much but I do!

Example of what the charm bracelet looks like

I love all this vintage style of art, they make such pretty

decoration for your bedroom

Cute :)

I'm not sure if this is a jewellery box or like a note book, but

its so incredibly pretty :)

These two images (above and below) aren't anything to do with the

artist, I just found them on a link and loved them!

love and kisses
