Bank holiday round up
We had a lovely four day weekend here, with a bit of nice weather yesterday, but it's back to business as usual. So just a quick one from me today, I'm not going to tell you how many emails I'm behind on, but it's shocking.
Bwahahaha I love your kids.
ReplyDeleteP.S. 18 metres of fabric in a backpack on a bus?! Are you insane?!
Wow! You carried 18 metres of fabric on the bus! That is good going :-) I love the fabric though, it's stunning. I feel a trip to IKEA is on the cards :-)
ReplyDeleteLucky you! IKEA never have any in orange for me :-( I have (or had)the black birdie print with the white and pink birds. And I have some of the retro looking floral you bought, it's now several beautiful bags!
ReplyDeleteBrave you on the bus, were there children in tow too?!
Feeling the need for an IKEA trip soon.....

Our IKEA never usually have the orange in either.
ReplyDeleteUntil last week, when you walked in there were 3 MASSIVE fabric hangings, front AND back - each a different fabric from that bird/black/orange range hanging all the way down the FOUR STOREY staircase.
It's all gone now - I think a few people must have got a good bargain in bargain corner for that lot!!!!
Love the pillowcase dress!
...and that shoe website looks lovely! Never heard of Vincents before - none near me, but I love the shoes :)

That orange bird is Ikea?? I need!! I have the blue that you have from ikea, still to be used ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done on the 18meters of fabric though, that must have been a big ruck-sac!!
So your ready made stuff is selling on Etsy now? See, all that stress for the fayre, now all you have to do is take the (virtual) money and post your stuff out ;)
Oh maybe I will have to brave ikea with the kids! I love the little coat. The orange fabric is divine!
ReplyDeleteMy darling was delighted with Jamie and Maia, she then proceeded to take her t-shirt off and said she'd like to live in your house! Would that be Ok? You wouldn't even notice her, potty trained and scissor trained so she could help even!
ReplyDeleteI think that my kids and your kids could really, really wreck some stuff. Far more efficiently than they can do on their own.
