Sweetest Little Sewing Kit....

I wonder, have any of you ventured into the sales lately. Have to say I don't really jump for joy with the sales these days, I don't do crowds and never seem to see anything that really catches my eye. Though when I saw this beautiful little sewing case with some treats inside in Monsoon, I had to have it, especially as it was half price. It really is the sweetest little sewing case I have ever seen. Is meant for children but, well, I am a little girl at heart, does that count ;~)





It even comes with some cute Handmade with love for you labels.





So Miss. Poppins didn't feel left out, I treated her to a beautiful outfit that was half price. Monsoon really is a favourite of mine, though alas only in the sales, as I think is rather a luxury for me to shop there regularly.





And Master Poppins shall look a very smart boy on his 3rd birthday in his half price Next outfit, of course I shall swap the white linen shirt for a pretty pink one :)





And although not a sale purchase, one I was very happy with.





I was also happy with a felt corsage I made, I really enjoyed making it. There is nothing like a big, colourful corsage to cheer one up on these rainy days.





I shall leave you with a photograph of Miss. and Master Poppins' lunch. The pretty plates and egg cups looked so sweet, I had to take a photograph. As any blogger knows, a camera is always close to hand, even when littlies are doing something they shouldn't, like painting pink gloss on clean patio door windows.





Mmmmm think I would rather look at their lunch ;~)





Happy shopping, making, thrifting, holidaying :)

    I have not been to the sales yet, have shopped online. Seeing that gorgeous little sewing kit makes me want to pop into Monsson and have a look. Perfect gift for my daughter who wants to start sewing.

    Love the outfit for Miss Poppins & I too like Monsoon but only in the sales or off eBay! What naughty small people you have - but very lovely lunches.

    I very rarely visit the sales these days myself, I can't stand fighting people to get to shelves that look like jumble sales... and not the sort us bloggers like to rummage in!!

    PS Can I come round for egg and soldiers?!
