Since getting a new laptop in December as my old one was somewhat injured, having half the screen randomly snapping off(!), I managed to lose a lot of my bookmarked links. On Twitter today I rekindled my love for Hannah Zakari, a brand that I have coveted for many years because of their cute and equally quirky ranges. I thought I would share some of my favourite bits from them :)
Everything is reasonably priced and would make for some fantastic gifts so go take a gander! They also have a competition running on their blog for a giveaway from their new Spring collection by Layla Amber (the hand painted birdys I've included) which you can check out here: Hannah Zakari Giveaway Competition
And I must say as an aside, that I was not asked by Hannah Zakari to create this blog post. As I initially said, I just came across them and felt nostalgic so thought I'd share some of their creations :)
But aside from that, I've had one of the best weekends I've had in a long while. It was much needed and thanks to brilliant company was very relaxing and generally lovely. On Sunday the boyfriend had a race in Sheffield, or rather, Rother Valley Country Park, so we decided to make the most of it and stay over in a hotel. On the Saturday, after stupid road diversions in Lincoln, we spent the day with friends in Meadowhall until 10pm when it closed. I bought quite a bit which you can refer to in my 'vlog' at the bottom of this post.
I brought a present for one of my friends who suffers from a chronic illness. I just wanted to make her happy, so I put together a little kit for her, for when it gets her down. It consisted of heart shaped hand warmers, which I stupidly didn't take a picture of but are basically this:
A mug which I tried the Sharpie DIY on, with a quote which was quite fitting after all she's been through. I then put some of her favourite sweets inside it :) Alongside this, I bought a little chest from the Lincoln Christmas Market which I filled with mini spoons that I got from an Ebay seller. For anyone who doesn't know the Spoon Theory go and have a read here. It's so helpful in explaining chronic illnesses to others, and will hopefully help you to see the joke :p
The next day I drove the boyfriend to his race. It was so cold that I opted to stay in the car and instead was distracted by taking photos of birds in trees because I have something of an obsession XD
And last but not least, here is my shopping haul video. I hope you like, and please leave feedback :)
