The first weekend in December feels like a long time ago now. I spent the Saturday relaxing and knitting, watching Strictly Come Dancing in the evening. On the Sunday I helped my Mum at a small craft fayre held in a wool shop in Felixstowe. She goes to a Knit and Natter group every week and they decided to put on a fayre...
For the third year running I'm taking part in A Buyer's Archive inspired by Elise (who sadly doesn't blog anymore but can be found on Instagram), to keep track of my spending on clothes and accessories. THIS YEAR All charity shop purchases this month. A soft narrow pink scarf was picked up for £1.00, sometimes I find a big scarf a little too...
The final Photo An Hour for 2018 was December 15th. The day had three distinct parts, a relaxed morning, an energetic afternoon, and a late night dressed up in my finest charity shop finds. 8am Enjoying tea and toast in bed with my current read December, kindly lent to me by Sophie to complete my year long reading challenge. I haven't finished it...
The first Saturday of the month saw me go on a charity sop rummage with Sophie and Kezzie around Ipswich. It was a full day of shopping that included a coffee mid morning, lunch and then tea and cake late in the afternoon. I came home with some really lovely items, and as always it was a pleasure to spend a day in...

The third item in my wardrobe to gain the #30Wears Badge of Honour is possibly one of the most boring items I own! They've only been seen on the blog once before in a capsule wardrobe montage. These Gap boyfriend cords were purchased in March 2018 for just £6.49 from ebay. They're pre-loved. I reach for these on days when I know I'm...
November 17th was the chosen day for Photo An Hour this month. As with last month I didn't realise until I was scrolling through my Instagram feed at lunchtime but my morning was pretty standard. Weekends don't really hold the same meaning for me as Andy always works and as a self employed person the working week doesn't really exist. I work as...
My birthday always starts early in the day. Andy wakes me up with a cuppa at about 6am and hands me a pile of presents. Once opened he hurries me out of bed so we can have our traditional birthday breakfast in a cafe in a nearby village. It was filled with workmen starting their day with a fry-up and a good strong...
I've been wanting to write a post about the charity shops in Ipswich for ages. The perfect opportunity to gather photos was on a Saturday when I met up with Sophie and Kezzie for a day of charity shop rummaging. We visited all the clothing charity shops in the town centre (we skipped the furniture and electrical shops). There are others on the...
