Happy Halloween to all my lovely friends and family...
whether you celebrate this holiday or not...have a fun day and night.
I love the Collage Artist, Freddy Harris...well of course I do, he is my Hubby! So I have added here just a selection of my favourite pieces that he has created over this year! I hope you love them as much as I do...and that they give you plenty of inspiration to create something just as wonderful...
A few of them have been created whilst he has been waiting for an operation on his knee...he has had to have plenty of rest and has been confined to his bed...hence his art station is now in our bedroom...there is so much in this room now...our decluttering has all gone out the window and it wont be too long before we are going to need an alternative storage solution for everything...I have so got to pull my socks up if we are going to get straight by Christmas!
If you would like to see more, Please visit his FLICKR page.
...and come back here and tell me which ones you like or have favourited.
Speak soon,
Happy’s Happy Decluttering Ramblings
Well guys and gals…I have started the cull…slowly slowly sorting through my belongings, making piles of ‘to go’s’ and ‘to stays’ and also piles of ‘not sure’s’…it is very difficult, because most of the things I have got, I really love…so really I want to keep everything, but through fear of getting buried underneath all this loveliness…some things have simply got to go!
So rather than show you all the mess i have made! and honestly! there has been plenty of that! I thought I would show you some new pictures of the things that I have kept and the new arranging of them…so the above picture has been taken from the cold house, where I make my jewellery…it also houses my washing machine and tumble dryer in there…I have stuck to a mainly red white and blue theme…I love all my French and British tins…I haven’t been able to part with any of them…well not yet anyway!
hahaha…s’cuse the dust…I took the pic above before I had dusted everything…rotten job, but someone’s gotta do it ay!
…and you can slap my wrists if you want..but I have been buying in some lovely beauties that I just cannot resist lately! I know! I can hear you telling me that is not the point of a clearout! but I just couldn’t resist these (above) lovely vintage rose glasses, they are a set of six and in perfect condition and..well! I have got rid of quite a few other odd one’s, so surely I am allowed a few newbies!?!?
My next challenge is the shelf below…it all needs sorting out, as the first aid tin has nothing in it and the bread bin is a first aid tin OoOOp’s, so its all a bit confusing and although it looks quite pleasing to the eyes…it’s just need a general sort out and shape up!
Anyways…I’ll keep you all updated with this cull as the weeks progress.
What have you been up to this week?
Speak soon my lovelies xx

I Love my Plooms Fountain Pen.
The other day I was sent this beautiful pen by the lovely Sally at PLOOMS, her company designs and sells these divine ink pens that come in five different colours…naturally you would of guessed that I wanted the red one!
These days what with the internet, we tend to communicate through emails and texting, hardly anything is handwritten anymore…which is such a shame…
Sally is trying to get people to fall in love with writing again and with her pens…well it’s hard not too! These are beautiful ink pens, they are solid and weighty and the ink glides on to the paper with ease,..(PLOOMING: verb: to handwrite a message in ink and photograph it) Some words need to be written in ink, so next time you want to say something special Don’t Just Text it – PLOOM it
…And never forget the power of the written word!

Here's something I haven't done in a while...and that is, showing you all what I am in Love with at the moment...perhap's there is something here that you have bought recently too, or perhaps there will be something here to inspire you and make you want to run to the shops...so here goes...
Yes it's true...I have been drooling over this Cath Kidston range for a while now...I simply love the 'Clocks' range...it reminds me of an old 1950's kitchen pattern and the colour's are so cheery...I have bought myself a few new items in this range just this week...a good time to buy as well as all of this range is now at 40% off!
I am also in love with this beautiful Lanvin HAPPY Necklace...
Fancy a designer brand 'Biggin' Up' the Happy Love!...Just a snip at £650.00!(funny! but the actual font of this necklace is pretty similar to the way I have been signing off my name for the past couple of years too! Weird dat!:)
Isn't this tattoo incredible!...and if I told you it was a temporary tat would you believe me? Ideal for a special occassion, a night out with the gals or to try before you go the whole hog and get yourself tattoo'ed for life...This shop on Etsy has been a favourite of mine for a while and I just had to share with all of you...please go check her out...she even has 'Happy' tattoo's too ;).
Now this is something so cute and special...This Company has some amazing prints, for which you can purchase and instantly download yourself...so you can buy, print and frame yourself all in no time at all! But best of all, you can choose this print above and choose the hair colour and features to suit yourself, therefore creating a one-off piece of artwork for your home...isn't this just fantastic!
Well there we are my lovelies.
I hope you have enjoyed my weekend fav's for this week.
What kinds of things have you been buying lately?
...and do share with us your favourite purchases.
Back when we bought our Vintage Caravan in 2009 they weren't that popular...well people still went away on holiday in them, but people never really just bought one to have in their garden to 'play in'! But since 2009 it has been rather a phenomenon and now peeps are buying them to decorate and use for a bit of extra space for the kids, or a craft studio, which ours was originally used for...
