I recieved my seaside swap from Bexbuttons yesterday. I'm saving the lovely story for our summer holiday and the jingly whales are in the conservatory/playroom. What a gorgeous little bag filled with buttons!!!! Thank you Bex i love my goodies xxHere is what i sent:
This is the most creative i have been for a swap so far and really enjoyed it. I made a little beach hut picture, a card, a smelly fish and a beach heart heart, i also got a sea and sand yankee candle, notebook, a lovely little book, some seashell chocs, a icecream biscuit cutter, a beach hut magnet, seaside rock and a collection of shells from the 2 little boys. The boys are getting into these swaps too now!! the eldest even asked me to buy a dolphin emery board that he saw!!(not pictured)
Last week we went to see this in London - what a great show - very fun!!
After, we headed into Covent Garden for a spot of shopping.I picked up these lovely postcards from Paperchase. I love the Belle and Boo one for my littlests room and i'm going to give the other one to a friend. I also got my eldest this birthday card -he loves Roald Dahl. I couldn't resist these love badges for me, they have a great stationary range with these pics on too.
This gorgeous coloured scarf was in the Oasis sale.
I got these from a little beads shop near the seven dials in Covent Garden. I am going to but the teapot in my dollshouse, the butterfly i will wear on a chain and i'm going to make a little I believe Tink bell with the bell.
Had to pop into the CK sale. I got the eldest this Stanley tee and a lovely rubber ring for our holiday.

Look at this gorgeous brochure for jelly pong pong. Love that name!! and such a pretty shop. And got some samples in Kiehls.
I love Urban outfitters-it's great for gifts. My eldest bought the silly drinking straw and i got him the bike plane to keep for his birthday that is coming up in a few weeks.
I got this book for my father in laws birthday - it looks like a giant matchbox - when you slide the book out, it's covered with a picture of matches. I got myself the lovely book a few pics down:

Just popping over to Amazon to check out that book!
Lovely goodies as usual, I really do like the look of that book and I really must try and pick Jack up one of those t-shirts, so cute.
Enjoy the rest of your week

That does look like a very cute book. Glad you found the bead shop - it's fab, isn't it?
Oh, what lovely purchases you made! I love shopping trips like that- sometimes you find things that you love and are just right- other times you come back with nothing! The swap looks like so much fun and what lovely treats were given and recieved!
That was a lovely parcel you received for your Seaside Swap ~ they are such fun to do ~ it was my first and I really enjoyed it. I sent my packages wrapped in the very same paper as you did! Love the CK Stanley T shirt and may also have to go out and get one for my small boy too :O)
What beautiful swaps you have done. Love the fish. And all your goodies are just fab too. That book looks like its full of good tips.
I have an award for you on my blog.
