Goodies from the last few weeks




Bought this amazing set of stretch plastic tattoo jewellery. In the set you get a ring, bracelet and choker. They are really coming back into fashion now. I really wish I had kept my old ones, as I remember having a rainbow ring. It took me a long time to find these as they didn't actually show in lot of searches I did on google and can't remember how I came across them, but you can get them here. The set I bought have the most beautiful iridescent seed beads on them too.


A lovely friend of my mums at work gave me this reel of the most beautiful woven gold ribbon. Its very geometric/Aztec looking and I can't wait to start using it. I could even make myself a bracelet out of it. 


I almost threw this out at the charity work that I volunteer in, but then I noticed the Moomin characters on it and of course I had to buy it. This sort of fabric is very rare and when you do find it is very expensive normally. £1.20


My family and I went a day out to Craster and Barter Books and I found these two books in the sale section. I quickly snatched the Lord of the Rings Movie guide being a huge fan and all that, as I'm sure many of you have guessed by now if you follow on twitter. The 'Birds of the World' is so beautifully illustrated and I just had to have it. These cost me nothing as I traded in some books for credit, WIN!!!






How cute is my new cat. Well it looks like a girl with her pretty bow and I decided to name her Mcgonagall, I'm sure you can guess why. She needed a good home so I bought her for £1.20 from my charity shop.

  5. Great items, especially those charity shop buys! I remember the Moomin cartoon, bringing back a few memories now! Also those bracelets make me nostalgic, I remember in primary school they become a bit of a craze.

  11. I also like The Moomins (the most Snufkin & Hattifatteners, because in the morning I always feel like one of them- swaying from side to side looking for power) Thank you for reminding them. The book about birds is wonderful
