Charity shop rambles..

Wellll haven't i been busy over the last few weeks ...BUT theres nothing like a little bit of posting to relax you. I have been frantically window shoppping anywhere and everywhere these last few weeks trying to gather some spring looks together Even though its only February. Well anyway last weekend I took a trip to my local hospice shop ,it really is one of my favourite shops where you can find anything anything and everything at a bargain price so anyway here's a few bargains i picked up ...

This is a cardigan i picked up for a bargain price of £2 ! i really like its french feel and it goes with literally anything.

This is the jacket mentioned in an earlier post and altered by the lovely Hannah -its Nicole Fahri which is usually very expensive -i picked it up for only £3-another bargain!

This last buy was big splurge i must admit -its a Cath Kidston Satchel and i've wanted one for ages.last weekend i finally fulfilled my wish !-its very practical and i absolutely adore it !

What spring bargains have you picked up?

pretty little things...

Just a quick one this week...
Here goes another week of fabulous posting!!!  This week I've decided to go with earring's.  Since I got them pierced a few weeks ago, I've started to look for earring's literally EVERYWHERE I look.  I have even started comparing everyone's earring's in the street!  I'm so glad that I had them done with Izzy and Rosie around me, or I would have never had got them done.

These cute earring's are from Topshop...

Here are some more fun ones! New Look...

But obviously I'll definitely be buying these very soon...

...If I want to pay around £5.3 million pounds for it!!!

And just a quick note, Rosie, Izzy and I will be going to London on Sunday for an Indoor Athletics Competition...Wish us luck!!!

Floral bunting and a make shift dressing table.

Hello there!

As you read my 'bedroom post' and take a peek at the pictures, I think you'll realise I'm unfortunately not quite as crafty as the others! Nevertheless I still like my bedroom, I hope you do too....

Hope this isn't too freaky, but this is my beloved mask I bought in the Maldives! It was about the only thing that was actually cheap! ..ish.

Couldn't resist sneaking this picture in. I got this cute shoe ornament from the hospice barn charity shop- That place does everything!

How's that for a view huh! It's even nicer on those dry, sunny, summer days...but they're rare.
 

So if I was Hannah, I would have made my my own bunting, but instead I bought some off the Internet. It was £30 (I know!), but it's perfect!!

The make-shift dressing table! I rather like it, but I'm hoping I'll eventually get 'round to jazzing it up a bit. Any suggestions? I thought maybe I could use Hannah's plate smashing trick to decorate the edges of the mirror.

Hope you liked having a little peek around my bedroom. I was only meant to include 3 pictures, but the decisions were too hard! We might be selling our house in the next few years, and if so, I'm so excited to design my new bedroom! teehee. On a side note, I made the best fridge cake today, and guess what- I didn't measure out a thing! I just bunged in all the unhealthy things you could think of... just how baking should be.

Have a great rest of weekend.

vintage roadsigns ,a roberts radio and a slight obsession with pillows.

So here itI  is your chance to have a look inside my bedrrom....
I think your bedrrom should be your very own personal haven ....a place that represents you.And i have to say mine is no exception. Its on the third floor of a granite farmhouse ( i really am a country bumpkin! ) and in my opnion its only really lived up to its full potential recently.

I started collecting vintage/retro lookig postcards about a year ago and since then my obsession has only grown  along with a vast collection of some of my favourie photos and magazine clipping that hang along my beams. Of course not everyone's rooms can be perfect so here are some of mine's best bits...

My bed is literally the best thing in my room -it was this years birthday present and as I am a self confessed old fashioned junkie I went for a white rustic looking bed .My dad is adament that it looks like a hospital bed but oh well...

This is my little collection of vintage signs /postcards ,the signs were picked up from camden lock in october at a bargain price of 2 for £7 .The postcards were mostly brought from the imperial war mueseum in london .You ever know where you might find your next retro buy !

These are probably the newest items in my room. My radio was a christmas present from my mum after many casual hints. Its the roberts radio revival in casis(puplish colour). The pencil pot is a little bit of home made craft inspired by hannah .Its literally an old baked beans tin covered in a vintage can label . So simple so retro !

I thought i'd just add in this picture of my sisters room .As you can see her vintage postcard collection is quite a lot larger than mine .But this is defienetly the sort of collection i'd aspire towards in the future !

So there you have it a little peek into interiors the izzy way !

have a great week beutiful bloggers :)

Ma chambre dans le centre de mon coeur...

And so we begin the week of snooping around our bedrooms! There's nothing like waking up in the morning surrounded by personal possessions that shape who you are.  I've definitely got my favourites!!!  My bedroom is inspired by country chic.  Nothing beats the soft colours of duck egg blue contrasting with soft pinks.  I love looking around charity shops for one off pieces (which is where I get most of my furniture from now). Here's something I made earlier...

I made this photo frame by spray painting a simple wooden frame.  I found a really cheap plate with a nice design on it and smashed it to pieces (great stress reliever)!!! Stuck the pieces on and voila!!! Simples...

My next bargain has to be my beloved chair, literally rescued by my mum from the charity shop.  It was a horrible green velvet chair which was in quite good condition.  We re-upholstered it and love the end result.  It's also super comfy.  Thanks mum...

 

I love my bathroom just as much as my room!!!  I've only just got round to re-decorating it and gone for bright colours and old posters....

I just couldn't squeeze in everything so why not put all my other ornaments in together. And I just couldn't forget my big blue coffee jug.  Who knows what I'll use it for...it just looks nice... 

You'll be surprised my the amount of things you can buy in charity shops...so why not pop down today for some great deals!!!

Have a great week..
