This week i have chosen this notebook to take some ideas out of:
My favourite chocolate shop!!
I love these:
This is a lovely place to visit on a sunny day. It has a very traditional feel.
And some lovely little shoppies.
I liked the clean beach with the small traditional fairground rides.
And stop for a knickerbocker glory on the front.
-Kids present ideas:
Stuck what to buy for the kiddies??
Here are some ideas:
-A personalised book with the childs name in the story,
Wooden noahs ark, wooden trike, teddies, artcases, micro flyers, wooden guitar, china teaset,
charm braclet, scarf, glove and hat set, diary, slippers, wooden train set, stickers, named cutlery,
paint your own mug and plate set, an apron and cooking set.
Great for some unusual gifts.
I am liking:
-Natural cleaning:
Descale the kettle: 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water, leave for half an hour, boil and then boil again with fresh water.
Freshen up the dishwasher: put half a lemon in and put on the longest wash.
My husband loves this shop, so i guess its a good place to shop for the men. Cool gadgets and stationary.
My boys like the wooden toys too.
I really like the tasty and healthy food and smoothies here.
New things
The lovely anenomes i said i'd show you in their full glory:
My new books from amazon, (still waiting on one)
I got sew darn cute after seeing it on Mary Poppins blog and last week i watched Coco before Chanel, which was just so wonderful that i had to get a book on her. And of course, Audrey is my idol, so i can never have too many books on her:
And lastly.....my new most favourite thing!!!! still so excited about this!!!! My lovely new sideboard to put my dollshouse on and my fabrics in. My lovely hubbie put it up yesterday. I am so in love with it!! and with the gorgeous baskets that i got for a bargain at QS. I'm going to put some fabric behind the glass so i can hide fabrics behind it.

what a fabulous idea those wooden play set for kids- i have the idea of painting them up- so they are one off's- and personalised- lovely treat for boys- i loved my brothers toys...star wars was very in fashion during 80's and i remember my brothers being very protective over their toys- didnt want us girlies to touch them,so id sneak in when they were out playing footie hehe.

Your dollshouse looks lovely on that sideboard, is it an Ikea sideboard?
I love dollshouses, my nan and aunt used to make bespoke porcelain 1/12th dolls and wicker furniture. They travelled all over doing the shows and stuff. Some people have some very grand houses indeed! xx
The sideboard looks terrific there under the stairs with the gorgeous dolls house on it. Bet you will have fun filling it with goodies.
Love the sideboard... and the dolls house is just right on top!I'm fed up with all my pine furniture now...it looks so dated.I'll have to get busy with the paintbrush!
I used to go to school in Broadstairs and havn't been back since.I think I'll make a trip now,it sounds lovely and sort of old fashioned.
Bellaboo :)
Your sideboard is gorgeous - I am full of envy!
And I adore Topsy and Tim!!!
