Distinctly Floral

Well hello there! 
I'm so sorry for being quiet but last week I spent the week being hospitalised with a serious illness so I'm sure you can forgive me? Since being discharged on Friday I've been under strict doctor's orders to rest and not stress in the hope that I won't rebound. All seems good so far! 
I haven't been able to go shopping in what feels like a long, long time but I did nab these shorts from Asda a couple of weeks back. They're from the kids section and are aged 14-15 and fit me lovely. I did originally go for the 13-14 for a laugh and although I did manage to get them on they were a bit on the tighter side. For reference I'm a size 10. It just shows that you should always take a gander in the kids section as you never know what gems you may find! These were £10 which is a pretty average price but I think for their quality they're brilliant, plus I haven't seen pretty neutral floral toned shorts for anywhere near as cheap as these so they're a winner.
They'll look great bare legged and with a pair of black tights or leggings underneath! Despite the muted tones, I also reckon they'd fit in well later on in the year as they'd look ace with burgundy reds and  varying greys. What do you reckon? Do you like clothes shopping in Supermarkets?

The name of my blog derives from my Etsy shop of which I have huge ambition for to be a success. It may not seem it now, due to ill health, but I have so, so many ideas and half completed projects that have yet to see the light of day within my little shop. I hope to have some of them completed and ready for you to purchase in the near future. These pieces are created to showcase what I, myself, depict as ideals of beauty and I hope that you are able to see it too. From black and white silhouettes to ditsy floral antique coloured pieces to intricate Victorian inspired designs: I will create it all. Here are some of the things currently for sale in the shop & some that I've sold in the past.

Cream and black birdy design

 

Pink and black birdy design available in a double and single

And if you think that it's only cushions and pillow cases that I create then you are very much mistaken. I have a whole variety of beautiful and stunning home wares that are in the pipeline. So keep your eyes peeled for those! :)

Postage is currently cheap so get them now!

Bake Sales & Butterflies

Sorry for the lack of blogging. Nothing substantial has happened in the last couple of weeks other than having to work and the possible answers arising as to why my health is how it is. If you're interested you can read more of that on my other blog which I created specifically to talk about my health.

And to make this post a bit more interesting, here are some lovely things I've found on H&M's and Wilkinson's websites.

  Wilkinson's £12   H&M 14.99   H&M £6.99
This weekend has been good, despite me being ill. Well Friday and Saturday were good anyway! On Friday my friend Hannah came to stay overnight to help support our Bake Sale we held at my place of work in order to raise some more money and awareness as to why my other half is running 1000km for the National Eczema Society. We had every intention of making all of our goodies gluten and vegan free to entice more people but we were so rushed on Friday that we only managed to make a couple of things. It was a fantastic day anyway and we managed to raise a whopping £152.77!!!

As you can see from the picture, it was torture for 3 cake fiends to be sat in front of a table full of yummy cakes for 6 hours and not being able to eat any of them. We did however take a trip to Bunty's tea rooms for a much needed cup of tea and slice of heaven (cake). Delicious irony.

Shabby Chic Cheap

So recently I've been getting some more home ware bits and pieces.
  This heart wreath was bought from B&M about a month ago for £1.99. It's actually attached to a curtain rail that is also from B&M but I haven't taken a proper photo of it as I still need to put the ends on. The bathroom caddy is also a B&M goody. It was £16.99 I believe and was kindly bought for me by my Mum. We've been needing more bathroom storage for a while and this does the job well.
  I got a couple of mason jars from my recent trip to IKEA for £1.39 each. I've used one for buttons, the other one will probably end up with the same use though I might just hang on to it for something special. The pot on the right is actually a plant pot! I've seen this on various different blogs and thought it was so cute. I don't have much to do with flowers or gardening however so for now it is housing various craft bits on my shelf.
  I purchased 2 of these lampshades from Asda on Sunday reduced down to only £4 each! I love the pattern and they go with the red painted walls of our rented house so much better than the crappy cream ones we had. Those crappy cream ones are the sort that have a cut out pattern to create a pattern on the ceiling but otherwise restrict much light from brightening the room so these are 1000 x better. The kitchen roll holder is actually a bog roll holder but it basically holds the same purpose and I was fed up of having no where to put the kitchen roll, so this is a cute alternative; £3.99 from B&M.
I just thought I'd take a picture of our kitchen door with the prize Cath Kidston oven gloves that probably won't get used as we already have 2 others. Plus I'd hate for them to get ruined! Also a selfie of my outfit today featuring the china print top I've blogged about in a previous outfit post. Sorry if my pearly pins offend you :p
