Slowly getting back into the rhythm that is normal life! I’ve finally got everything sorted and put away and thought I’d share with you what I bought for myself. I think I was very restrained. I saw so many things I’d love to have bought – some were too big, some too heavy :-( .

You might have noticed the new necklace I bought in Sweden.

I also bought this Matt Jonasson glass etching. I’ve already got some wolves and bears. Little did I know how much I’d love the reindeer we saw in Scotland.

These cute handmade wooden flowers and vase were bought at Covent Garden in London. And they match my kitchen perfectly.

Of course I had to buy a highland cow – to replace the one that Amy lost as a child.

Some bunting. It’s everywhere in the UK and I just love it. Have it hanging in the scrapbook room.

Cute paper serviettes. I don’t normally paper ones but these were too cute to leave (and light as well :-) )

Calender, pen set and a Celtic Rock CD.

And, of course, some food essentials! Galaxy Minstrels for me, Magic Stars for the girls. And those ginger crunch biscuits are to die for!

There were also some teas, a tea caddy and a new mug. Plus I  got two pairs of fingerless gloves and those mismatched socks. And a lovely apron.

I’m so happy with everything that I got and it certainly makes me smile and remember some very good times when I see these things around me home.

Now, normal blogging can resume :-) .
