Flowers At My Table

Flowers At My Table is a truly scrumptious blog, and as Linda is recovering after surgery I hope is just the tonic. Linda if you could email me over your details I shall get it out to you.

Thank you so much again for joining in...was fun! I really do wish I could have sent you all one. Though there shall be a little giveaway again very soon. The London Tea Company found out that tea is possibly my all time favourite drink and sent me some lovely ones to try out...believe me they are truly delicious, and very much up my street....Some of the ones I tried out were Camomile & Lavender, Lemongrass, Ginger & Citrus Fruits, White Tea, Elderflower & Apricot, and Green Tea Mango & Ginger Tea...They have offered some too to offer as a little prize, so shall look forward to letting you know about it.

I Got One!!!! Bag Giveaway....

Righty you lovely readers, here you go....I went back and as lots of you seemed to really go for the style of the bag I purchased, I got the last one in that colourway. I was chatting to the lovely market stall holder, who told me she had sold lots, hardly any left infact and we spoke about them being quite similar to certain styles, though of course no names were mentioned and as before, I can't think where the inspiration has come from...

Anyway here is your lovely giveaway prize....

You may know what it looks like, but here is a little reminder....

So, all you need to do, to go in the hat, is comment here and say why you want it, no having to follow me, tell the world about my giveaway, or even like my facebook page. Just one little comment and I shall pop you in the hat. I shall get Miss. Poppins to draw a winner in one week, 3rd of June about tea time. International readers are welcome too.

So happy there was one left for you :0)

Good luck !

Edit: Thank you so much everyone for joining in, a lovely winner has been chosen.

Here Is The Deal.....

Right, as so many of you lovelies seemed to have an eye on the pretty bag...I have decided when the market is back in town, I shall go back and see if I can get one....

To offer....


As....


A...


Giveaway....

That do ya!! :0) What I need from you is some favourite colour choices, there were red florals, navy florals, sky blue florals, white floral mixes, no pinks *sigh*. May be a different design, shall have to see what's there, if any left. I would love to get one for all of you, and indeed take orders, but on a practical level don't think I could be quite that organised. So I hope this is a fair compromise.

I shall bob back on Friday with hopefully a pretty bag on offer, so keep those pretty eyes of yours out for my post, if you want one.

A Little Louis Vuitton Bargain....

Before marriage and children I was somewhat of a shopaholic....

Alright, hands up!! I am still somewhat of a shopaholic, but nowhere near to the extent I used to be. These days a shopping spree is a quick in and out job, perhaps one or two housey shops and the occasional clothes shop. All seems a very brief affair, not the hours and hours I could spend mooching round the shops laden with bags pre husband and without two lovely little Poppins' in tow. Of course priorities change and I just don't have the time, money or even the energy to shop shop shop like I used to.

I, like many women have a thing for shoes and bags, and fell in love with a particular little Louis Vuitton Pochette Accessoires bag  I yearned for it and as I was in a decent job, and earning, I treated myself to it. Oh boy, I loved it, and certainly got much use out of it. I had noticed the strap was looking a little weary after many years of use, so popped it in it's little bag and packed it away, and bought out my next favourite bag to play with. Though was a little sad to leave the lovely LV behind in the drawer.

Well here I was today, on my holidays, with the husband still busy working and at home. As I had a little time to myself, couldn't resist a little moochy round a couple of second hand stores, and look what I spy amongst all the other bags, I couldn't grab it quick enough....I recognised this little beauty I thought....

Oh my....and the inside in perfect condition.

I recognised the infamous LV on the zip...

.

It really is just the perfect little size for those essentials on a night out....

In fact I couldn't wait to get socialising with it across my shoulder....felt like the olde days had come right up to meet me to say hello....

I love it all over again, and before anyone thinks how frivolous of me to purchase two identical and very expensive designer bags ( albeit one with a weary strap ) here, look at the price I paid for my second one....

Yes, £3.50! Not too bad considering the rrp is £215....

 I doubt the CS I bought it from realised it's true value, otherwise, it would have been in *the cabinet* along with the other expensive stuff. I simply popped it on the counter, very politely handed over my £3.50 to the lovely assistant, though couldn't belive my luck as soon as I left the shop. It could of course be a fake, I need to check linings and all, but to be honest, I don't really care, I love it fake or not, and is a rather high end fake if it is, looks exactly how I remember my own one at home, tucked away in it's little bag. I shall of course have a little compare with my other purchase I bought all those years ago, but at least I now have a decent spare ;0)

Oh I do love to grab a bargain, don't you....
