The day Daisy met Lucey from Lemonade Kitty

I recently took a trip up to York

to meet my lovely blogger friend from

Lemonade Kitty

I treated myself to a first class upgrade

and had breakfast as the sunshine

shone through the window.

The daffodils were out in full force...

and the rain stayed away.

First stop was Cath Kidston

where we tried on lots of clothes

and ooh-ed and ahh-ed over

many beautiful things.

I love this wallpaper.

Handbags galore...

and the most wonderful changing room

curtain made using a quilt.

A Great British display.

Lucey then gave me a fabulous tour of all the best

shops in York.

We stopped for lunch at Betty's

This pic is part of their Easter window display.

I have to admit we spent so much time chatting

that neither of us took many photos!

Here is a quick snap of some original shutters.

And here we are in a vintage clothes shop

where the owner kindly took a photo of us together.

Too soon it was time to go home.

We had such a lovely day together 

and we got on so well.

I hope it will be the first of many meetings.

I hope you are all enjoying your bank holiday

Monday despite the awful weather.

Lots of love

Mothers Day - How Spoilt?

I've had the most wonderful weekend.

It started with a Janet Bolton weekend workshop

(blog to follow)

and these gorgeous roses from Petey.

I am loving all things pink at the moment.

Maybe it's due to my new girly freedom.

My home is full of it and my lovely children know

exactly what I love.

Rosie made me this fab box covered in paper mache magazine

and Cath Kidston catalogue images.

I love the way the pictures are continued over the box and the lid.

A piece to treasure.

I also received this posh box...

with a rose scented candle in it.

Yes there is more!

(I said I'd been totally spoilt!)

I adore this heart shaped tin.

Amy bought me this duck because it was sitting by itself in

the shop.  Can't think where she's gets thoughts like

that from. ;)

Then they gave me this 'far to pretty to use' tray. Wow!

This was my Mothers Day card.

So all in all a truly spectacular weekend.

I will post day one of the Janet Bolton weekend tomorrow.

To all you other Mothers out there I hope you had a restful and 

enjoyable day.
