…aaaand by “later this week”, I of course meant “next week”. Bad, bad blogger! Anyway, here are my Top Three Favourite Pressies for Christmas 2009:
1. Satchel satchel satchel! I am never without a messenger-style bag, and my trusty Hello Kitty bag was starting to look a bit Goodbye Kitty after nearly four years of faithful service. Simon got me this handmade leather satchel, which brings me to OCD orgasm with its myriad compartments and pockets and pen holders. Pen holders hooray! Also it is gorgeous. I feel bad for the cow and all but…GORGEOUS.
2. Butterfly bookmark. My stepdaughter picked this out – isn’t it so pretty?? A bookmark is one thing guaranteed to get a lot of use in my vicinity, and I lurrrrve this one. Although I’ve developed a bad habit of storing it down the front of my top. (Classy.)
3. Decoupage tulip necklace. This one’s from me mum. Lord bless her, she sends me a necklace I LOVE every single Christmas. I don’t usually wear gold, but I really, really like the buttery yellow colour of this necklace, and the tiny delicate decoupage tulips. I’ve been wearing it nearly every day.
But I have to admit to being Most Envious of one of Simon’s pressies: a pair of warm fuzzy slippers from John Lewis. We have a stone floor in our very large kitchen, and despite the best efforts of the Aga, during the winter it radiates cold like an iceberg. Man, you know you’re over thirty when you think a warm pair of slippers is the best present EVER.
Here are a couple of new collage sheets…
