So in my last post i told you what a busy week i had had and it all started last Sunday when i was going to London to meet my partners cousin from South Africa who is over for a period of time and also happens to be the author of the fantastic blog www.anaestheticadventure.com

As it was such a hot day deciding what to wear was turning into a bit of a chore, but then i 
remembered that i had received my beautiful green Matilda clogs from www.lottafromstockholm.com on the Saturday 
and decided to match them with my flowing white linen dress that i had purchased from Epsom Market a few weeks 
before. As you can see the clogs look casual and great. Then i thought i would then tie it all in with a bracelet that i 
had won the previous year at the School Fayre and a brilliant charity shop find of an +Accessorize zig-zag pattern 
clutch that had all the colours and was the final touch.


The rest of the week i have been busy visiting charity shops picking up bits and pieces, some for my collections and others for my project that i had mentioned to be unveiled in a few weeks, but one of the items that i did find and that i have quite a few of is this fantastic bowl, i love the designs on the bowls and i'm sure they were used as a Christmas idea for smellies by either Boots or BHS, but nether the less they are finding there way to charity shops up and down the country, as i discovered recently via my +Instagram with other followers who have the same interests as me.

I have a birthday coming up soon and as it is in the summer i have also been planning that and keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is going to be fantastic, so i have been buying craft items to make large paper flowers for decorations, making colourful pop-poms using +Hobbycraft Kirsty Allsop Pom-Pom maker, but as you can see i have a few more to go before i have enough to make a long bunting - better get cracking!

And the final end to my busy week has been putting up a Fern Willow fence to cover up my neighbours horrible green chicken wire fence that i purchased from +B&Q and has now enhanced my country cottage flower bed that i have been tending to for the past 3 years along with house renovations, but the end is in sight and the flower beds are going to really colourful this summer and have already started to attract so many bees and insects, but sadly there seems to be a lack of butterflies this year, which is a real shame as i am a member of the Butterfly Society Great Count and so far i have only seen Cabbage Whites.

So now i am exhausted and already we are about to start a new week, hopefully the summer is here to stay and you will get to see all my craft projects in the coming weeks.
