Tales of the Mermaid Tavern

Oh hello there lovelies, I ordered this Caitlin Shearer dream of a dress tail end of last year (harhar), and I have been waiting for when we were more settled in the house to wear it, i.e. when I am not wearing overalls and have paint in my hair, I still have paint in my hair, but I digress. Many of you will already be aware that like any normal grown woman I have a fascination with all things mermaid related, so I had to get this dress you understand? On Sunday me and Lola had a play around, she read some Edgar Allan Poe I read my newly acquired Tales of the Mermaid Tavern book, I am such a cultural aunty. Also went to the Vintage Village Fair and picked up a hat and a top which I will show you soon.

It was fricking cold on Sunday, like really. 

Hope your week is going fantastically, I have lots of housey things to be getting on with! 

Candy Canes, Snow Globes, Swans and Glitter

Thought I would share a few Christmas snapshots from around the house. My aspiration for a candy covered pink tree came true, it was a ruddy bargain for £8 from Wilkinson's. My room now stinks of popcorn after painstakingly making a garland, the lovely did most of it though!

This snow globe I have had since I was about 8, it plays Santa Claus is Coming to Town, it can lull me into a state of dreamy nostalgia within 5 seconds of hearing it. 

The gorgeous fairy costume is for my boyfriend's niece, unfortunately they do not go up to my size, drat.

Hello little deer!

Ooh Caitlin Shearer art amongst my tree, it is a tattoo, but I want to keep it forever!

My new favourite Swan!

Because I have a black heart, home made cobweb, but it is bejewelled so fits right in.

Paper angel made by a very clever friend in work.

These cards from Sesame and Lily are gorgeous!

Are you getting excited for Christmas? I am looking forward to a week off hurray.
