Vintage Shower Curtain Pressie

Sometimes…when life is getting you down and you think nothing can make it better…a little something crops up and makes all the suffering worthwhile!

My Mother-in-law popped over in the week and gave me a present that she was going to save for Christmas for me, but instead wanted me to have it sooner to cheer me up…Bless her, her arm is still in plaster, but she will soon be having it removed thank goodness.

To my surprise and inside the brown paper packaging was this beautiful original 1950’s plastic Rose shower curtain, complete with frilly tie backs and a pelmet!Now things don’t get cheerier than that!

Scuse the awful pictures!

Kitsch, Whimsical and Wonderful Christmas Decor

Kitsch, Whimsical and Wonderful Christmas Decor.

These Kitsch, Whimsical and Wonderful Christmas Decorations were put up back in October and I did ask you all for your opinion on Facebook whether I should keep them all up until Christmas or take them down!…and most of you seemed to agree for me to keep them up! and we did for about 10 days…but I did get a bit fed up with them and although I knew it would be a BIG job, I did decided to take them all down.

We usually have them up for my Birthday, which is the 2nd of December, but I know they will not be up by then this year…what with all the commotions that we have had to deal with! lol!

I am not going to put up as many either! I have bought a twig tree for the green metal table, (that we bought back from France) it is quite small, but already has lights on it…hopefully I will be able to do something creative with that.

Once you put a few lights and pretty cards up… light a few candles, it feels Christmassy here anyway, especially with a glass or two of mulled wine in the evenings! lol! Hic!…anyway…I will be adding more pictures, when I have them up! that I am sure.

I also have a new camera…its only a little cheapy to tide me over, but camera’s have come on so much lately, it is actually better (apart from the fact it isn’t a Nikon! 🙁 ) It is a Samsung and it is white…so it looks lovely and I have been able to take pictures in the evening! they really look good! I always seemed to get an orangey glow before…but this little lovely has a tungsten light setting and I am able to send the pictures wirelessly to my computer! Do I sound SAD!!

…because although I take pictures like this and create graphics like that…I do not have a smartphone, a tablet or a Kindle! Yep I sure think that all of these new mod cons are passing me by! I would so love to have Instagram…but apparently you cannot have it unless you have a smartphone! believe me! I tried to download it to my computer and had no luck…or is that just me!

[UPDATE} I do have these things today!  you have to these days don’t you! and I do have Instagram, although I forget to add pictures to it a lot of the time!…Go and check me out 🙂

I suppose part of me is content with what I do have!…as long as it works…I can send something from A to B through an email and I am able to take my pictures and upload them to my computer…! and for that, I am Happy!

I do have plenty of silly  technology moments though!…to many to list here and remember to be honest…I should write them all down at the end of each day so I can remember them! but I’ll have a go here :-

1.  I have slotted my card in to the crack of the chip and pin machine and not the actual card reader!

2.  I have tried to type my pin number on the advert at the cash machine and not the actual keypad!

3.  My new camera has a very short lead, but you can take this out of the plug to upload pictures to your computer…I didn’t realize this and placed my computer near to the floor of the plug socket!…on a plus side I did realize this as soon as I tried it Doh!

So you get my drift!

I hope you have enjoyed my photo’s and my little ditty ramblings lol!

Speak soon my lovelies xx

More Yuletide Decorating

Well as I said before, these Christmas decorations were put up back in October and I did ask you all for your opinion on Facebook whether I should keep them all up until Christmas or take them down!...and most of you seemed to agree for me to keep them up! and we did for about 10 days...but I did get a bit fed up with them and although I knew it would be a BIG job, I did decide to take them all down.

The Lifestyle Boutique

I think I may have solved the problem to Christmas shopping for 2012! I
have found this wonderful new site called The Lifestyle
Boutique
and it is online, so
no rough and tumble with the crowds on the High Street this December!


This Husband and Wife team own three stores across South Oxfordshire and have
decided to put their entire life savings into their new online adventure…and
its blooming great!

They are one
of the largest independent retailers of Cath Kidston in the country and are
also the first independent online retailer to be given permission by Cath
Kidston herself, to sell online.

As you can imagine they are very proud of this, as the Cath Kidston brand
is a big part of what they do. They also sell a lovely selection of other
premium brands ranging from organic skincare to beautiful baby clothing and
decorations for the home.

I have done a little bit of shopping
on their website myself!…well I couldn’t resist to be quite honest, as there are
pages and pages of the most delightful things.
I have also bagged myself a few CK bits and Bobs for Chrimbo pressies,
you see the great thing about this website is that they take Paypal, which I
prefer to pay with these days and the CK online website doesn’t yet take it…so
there is another bonus for shopping at The Lifestyle Boutique.

They offer lovely items,  I have taken all of these pictures from their site!…I mean how can you
resist this lovely Rudolph!…perfect for Christmas and actually all year round!…well I would display it all year lol! but then that’s me!

I have ordered this lovely CK Mug for my Auntie….

This Diary for Rosie….

 

…and this
bag for me! lol! well a gal has to look good now doesn’t she!…so pop on over
to Lisa Angel for a good ‘ole shop…you had better make a coffee and take a pew, as you will be spoilt for choice!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN OLD POST AND THE LIFESTYLE BOUTIQUE IS NO MORE…SO I HAVE ADDED ANOTHER FAVOURITE STORE OF MINE TO THE LINKS…I HOPE YOU ENJOY HAVING A LOOK AROUND LiSa AnGeL

X HAPPY FRIDAY PEEPS X

Christmas Decor Styling for Annabelle Magazine



As promised, here are the Christmas Decor Styling pictures for Annabelle Magazine.   They are a Swiss Mag that is printed in German and distributed all over Switzerland and Germany… It’s nice to be a little famous [blushing] in Europe as most of my fans are from the United Kingdom and the United States…(I love you all xx)

These will not be the actual photographs in the magazine, as i have taken these ones, the photographer for this shoot was the lovely Joanna Henderson.


As usual, there is plenty to feast your eyes on…As soon as I got home from my Mums in October it was action stations…Operation ‘lets get the decs up’ lol!…

And this is the result…needless to say, Jo’s pictures do the decorations more justice than mine, as she has state of the art equipment!…but this is just a little snippet of the sitting room…and then a little peek, at the end of these pictures, of the Dining room!

 My Nikon camera died on me today!…I have taken so many pictures on it, I get snap happy lol!…it has been like an old reliable friend, I shall miss it terribly 🙁 and hope I can find something just as good for a snippet of the price I paid for that one about 7 years ago.


Still its my birthday soon, so hopefully someone in my family will be sympathetic 🙂

I’ll be bringing you more pictures from that shoot shortly….I hope these are enough for now to get you in the Christmas mood…

Christmas Inspirations Past and Present

Here’s a few Christmas Inspirations Past and Present to get you in the mood…These pictures are from my own personal collection of many many vintage and contemporary Christmas decorations that we have decorated with over the years, if you have read my older posts you will of seen these pictures, but I thought it would be nice to show them again here.

 Some are a little on the blurry side (sorry)!

Some are from previous homes that we have lived in…

But we have always decorated our home Brightly!

….and always thinking about new ways to style our home.

Its nice to see plenty of red and white decorations in the shops this year, for many many years…we would scour every place we visited to find our style…it was much harder to find back then…with a lot of our decorations being vintage or sourced from Europe.

In October I styled our House for a Swiss Magazine called Annabelle, for their Christmas 2012 issue, which will be coming out at the end of November,I will be giving a copy of the Magazine away, at the end of the month! so remember to add yourself to my favourites for an update 😉

I will also be publishing, some pictures that I took after the shoot soon, to show you some more ideas for Chrimbo…In the meantime…

Enjoy the rest of them 🙂

 

I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY WEEKEND.
