Lovely Pigeon

Lovely Pigeon recently held a giveaway on Twitter, and I was lucky enough to win! I was so pleased because the online store is beautiful and full cute jewellery, stationery, homewares and prints. I wanted to share with you what I received.


I received two pairs of triangle earrings, four fabric badges, two prints and a lovely postcard. I love all the pretty pastel colours.


The patterns on these fabric patterns are perfect! I really like how they're based on isometric graph paper and they're sturdy too. They make a stylish accessory.


These earrings are quirky, but the simple colouring makes them chic and will go with so many of my outfits. I'm a big fan of graphics design and they're right up my street!


The limited edition prints of an antelope and an ermine are beautiful! The striking black lines and the blocks of colour make them very beautiful artwork. A great gift for any art lover like myself and really inspires me to get printing!

Thanks Lovely Pigeon! ♥

My Anniversary Present for Him

A lovely card if I don't say so myself. It's from Clintons.
 So this week it has been three years since we first got together and so to celebrate I went up to York to meet him for the day and we went to the cinema to see 'The Wolf of Wall Street'  (which is a wonderful film, but not one to watch with your parents).  As a little anniversary present, I jumped on the mason jar bandwagon and filled up two jars with sweets and one with ingredients for a delicious hot chocolate.


In the sweets jar I filled it with all my his favourite sweets such as little chocolate hearts, Haribo hearts and rings, Percy Pigs and mint humbugs. Yum yum. I used Kilner jars so I know the food won't go off and it's something he can reuse for storage. The sweets jar is a clip-lock so it's especially secure! (He likes practicality so this was a bonus).


The hot chocolate jar contains: 3 teaspoons of hot chocolate powder, 4 marshmallows, a chocolate flake and a couple more mints (because he needs them). We're both big hot chocolate lovers, especially when the weather is cold like this. I'm sure he'll enjoy them, he looked really happen when he opened them anyway.

Now to think of something for Valentine's day! Any ideas?
