Shopping has never been so easy!

Lymington Seawater Baths!

I was brought up and raised in the sunny town of Lymington. Many many years ago, on most sunny afternoons after school and some times during (no questions asked please) we used to jump on our bikes and head on down to Lymington Seawater Baths! It is still there today looking and sounding exactly the same!

Now that I have two small children, they are regularly taken there and can experience exactly what I did all those years before. If you're anywhere near the area pop in and see what they have to offer!

A taste of Italy!

There's nothing nicer than the smell of italian food and drink. Well, if you're in the area of Hythe, near Southampton, you will be able to experience a slice of the Italian lifestyle! We have a fabulous Italian market coming to our village!

Such a lovely display of fine foods as well as a whole host of independent shops to browse around! Come and take a look lovely people, you could be pleasantly surprised!

All Things Fairy!

It's not often I can say this, but I have just spent an amazing morning at a party run by the Sugar Plum Fairy! Oh yes indeed, the whole garden was transformed with all things fairy! Glitter, swathes of fabric and such lovely summery bunting! If you don't fancy making your own bunting try looking at the lovely work of myRetro Textiles!

For all things fairy, this Melissa & Doug fairy costume is beautiful and ideal for parties and dressing up days!

Well, what a lot of birthdays there are this month! How about something handmade and traditional and....made in this country?
