Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

And the Halloween Giveaway is...................

Sarah of Funky Fairy who left me this spooky message

One fine day in the middle of the night,

Two dead men got up to fight,

Back to back they faced each other,

Drew their swords and shot each other!!

Thanks to all who entered

&

for all the spooky messages they were fab.

I got my best friend to give me a number between 1 & 14 and lucky number 7 was Sarah.

Your goodies will be winging their way to you tomorrow.

I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween

Home Sweet Home

I can't believe that I've been home 2 weeks and haven't told you about New York!

Firstly sorry for the rubbishness, I have had the worst jet lag I have ever had & switching on my laptop for longer that 5 minutes after a day in the office in front of a screen of Excel was just not possible.

Im finally feeling a bit more normal and think it's time to tell you about my trip.
Firstly a big thank you for all the suggestions of places to go and things to see & do, they were fab.

Day 1

So after a ridiculously early start, and a long flight we were finally in New York.

The first evening we went for a wonder about, our hotel was on 35th St so Times Square was right around the corner as was Macy's!!

Day 2

It was a bit gray but dry so off we went on mission to see NY, we walked all the way from our hotel by the Empire State Building through, Greenwich Village,

where I got a pretzel.

 Soho,

Pumpkins were for sale every where.

Little Italy,

China Town, Tribeca,

to Ground Zero.

Then trough Battery Park along the East River to see the Statue of Liberty.

Then all the way back to the hotel via some Shops! and a Pizza place where I had my first slice of NY pizza. I have to say my feet were killing me even though I wore trainers!

Total of 9 miles!

Day 3 

We went on a trip to Woodbury Common Shopping Village, we were picked up at the hotel at 8am, an early start but worth it. A scenic drive in a mini van and an hour later we were shopping.

We got lots of goodies, Yankee Candle was one of my favourite stores along with Converse, along with many more along the way.

We caught the bus back  to the city & went for the most amazing dinner at Hillstone, the Ribs were the best I have ever eaten.

Then I have to say it was cocktail time, time for a Cosmopolitan.

Day 4

So we had done some shopping, and walking, so now time for some Dinosaurs!

We decided to go to the Natural History Museum.

Then for a long walk through Central Park & Lunch in a Dinner on Broadway.

Shopping, Shopping, Shopping................

The biggest salad I have ever eaten & a raspberry mojito for Dinner.

Followed by  reese's peanut butter cup baskins robins ice cream.

We went up the Empire State Building that night which was amazing, the view of NY at night was beautiful.

Day 5

Home Time, Bit more shopping & walking then off to the airport to come home.

So Home now and I'm off on a Sewing Project Workshop today with a company called BROC.

Sorry I've been away soo long.

Luv

PS Sorry there aren't more photos, blogger will only let me upload 1 at a time, any top tips most welcome! xxx

New York Here We Come........................

Well on Monday I will be on a plane to here.

And I need your help!!!

Please can you wonderful people give me your top tips, favourite places to visit & eat.

I haven't been for 10 years and things must have changed!!!

Big thanks, Have a great rest of the week.

Luv

P.S I'm hoping to get some nice goodies for a NY inspired giveaway on my return to share my holiday with you all xxxxxxx

Eye Candy for your wall's........

Hello Lovely people.

I have been inspired again today by an email I received.

I love to know what is going on in the world  of retail, and I have to say when this popped into my inbox today it really did brighten my mood.

The email was from Notonthehighstreet.com, they have the best goodies on their site and it's great for personalised gifts. Many a wedding present has been bought by me from here.

& I know that there are some lovely bloggers who sell here too.

So what was on said email.....

Some beautiful eye candy for your bedroom walls.

You know from my previous post Beautiful Boidoir that I have a thing for pretty wall paper, so these were right up my street. 

Beautiful Bird Houses, soo pretty I would love this paper,

Stunning Vintage China Plates all over the wall, how fab would this be in a dining room!

Now this Ribbon Wallpaper would be a great feature wall in any sewing or craft room.

And lastly this vintage lady wallpaper would be fab in a bathroom, I think a canyfloss colour bathroom suit would be a must with it.

So this is what has inspired me today.

What has inspired you today?

Thanks for the slipper love, I have them on my feet now and they are super cosy, the cold is still at bay for the time being so I will keep taking the medicine.

Luv

Time for Slippers.........

A belated Happy National Cupcake Week to you all.

We celebrated at work with a Cupcake Wednesday, with all the money going to charity (The Body Shop Foundation & Children on the Edge). I made Lemon Cupcakes with a twist, I added a dollop of Lemon Curd to each Cupcake, which gave them a sticky bottom! They went down well along with Vanilla Cupcakes with Marshmallow frosting, Sorry no photos, they all vanished so quickly off the table I didn't get a chance. We raised £68.00, not bad really.

I'd better show you the meaning of my title now.

I got some new Slippers,as it's getting cold and now we have wood floors I can't walk around bare foot!

They are really cosy, I saw them and just had to have them the velvet bows just said BUY ME.

I have been wearing them all weekend as I have been relaxing trying to fight off a cold that is trying to come out and render me useless!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Luv
