Very Beautiful Things...

A little while ago, I won a giveaway on the totally gorgeous Lark blog. My parcel arrived this morning, wrapped in Belle & Boo paper, and was almost too beautiful to open!


Well, almost anyway. Inside was a gorgeous CK wash bag, a mirror and some beautifully packaged sweets! Thank you so much Allison!


Also arrived today was an order I had placed at Emma Bridgewater. Just look at the box!


Anyway, I'm not in the habit of buying myself things from here. Emily has the melamine tea set, Stewart has the 'Daddy' mug and I have felt left out for a while now. I had entered a photo competition* on the EB website and while I didn't win, EB very kindly gave all the entrants a £10 voucher.


I spent ages choosing what to buy. I was so tempted to get a mug but I would be so scared of breaking it! In the end I bought these two tin trays. Our kitchen is downstairs so they will come in really handy.


Last but not least, the EB journal was a tk maxx find at the weekend. It has sections for days of the week but no dates printed. Makes me feel more organised just owning it!

  4. You have had just the loveliest post ever today!

    I've been eyeing that exact CK washbag trying to justify why I NEED it! As for EB; I'm a huge fan, particularly of the hearts pattern.
