Flowery Bedding

19 January 2012

I’ve just been to Primark for the first time! Yeah I know I’m so 5 years ago, but we didn’t have one in Cambridge for ages and then they put it in the part of town that I never go to.  So I’d missed the whole Primark experience. But today I was in the right [...]

Presents Ideas

10 December 2011

I’ve been Christmas present hunting this week as my Dad (who I’d bought a lovely pair of headphones for) broke the number one rule of Christmas and bought himself a pair two weeks before Christmas – argh! So I’ve been on the web hunting for him (again!), my Mum and her best friend Pat. Montezumas [...]

Christmas Present Pretties

22 November 2011

I’m very much enjoying sitting down with a coffee and going through all the Christmas magazines looking at the decorations and wrapping ideas.  A couple of companies have really jumped out for me this year, one being Cox and Cox and the other Belle and Boo (not a sponsored post I just love what they make!). I’ve [...]

Etsy Girl Geekery

12 October 2011

I’ve been inspired by Abby over at Little Red Buttons who has been making the most amazing Etsy Treasury’s.   So I’ve made one of girl geekery, there’s tech love there for everything from the iPad and iPhone to the Playbook and Blackberry – not to mention the slightly geeky River Song’s journal. Personally I [...]

Tesco ‘Back to School’ Voucher Giveaway

28 August 2011

Yesterday I received a huge box of ‘Back to School’ goodies for Miss L from Tesco, which was very nice of them – the pens and the pencil case have already disappeared into her school bag. Of course none of it was as interesting as the box it came in, especially when you’re watching ‘Pirates [...]

Shabby Chic at House of Fraser

24 August 2011

I am a huge fan of Rachel Ashwell, her books have really influenced me and how I decorate my home.  So imagine how excited I was when it was announced she was doing a collection with House of Fraser.  It was released this week and there are some cute affordable things in there, the crockery and glasses [...]

{Review} Clarks Shoe Shop

23 August 2011

Now I get offered all sorts of weird and wonderful things to review on Violet Posy, but occasionally I get a product I can’t refuse because I love what they sell. Last month Clarks asked me if I wanted to review their school shoes and they would pay for them so I thought why not? [...]

{Giveaway} Bright Young Things Knitting Book

18 July 2011

Morning all! Miss L and I went to the John Lewis ‘Christmas in July’ Event last week and it was lots of fun, but I’ll save all the yummy things they will have in store until later in the year. Even I can’t write about Christmas shopping in the middle of summer! Anyway as I [...]

Creating Shade

29 June 2011

Kat from Housewife Confidential shared this product months ago with me on Google Reader. It seemed a bit daft writing about it in dark and dismal February, but as on Monday my car’s temperature gauge was reading 35c degrees (95f)  it now seems a bit more appropriate. These rather gorgeous sunshades made by Hollie and [...]

Royal Wedding @ Etsy

5 April 2011

Not that we are massively into it, but you can’t miss the upcoming Royal Wedding at our house.  Lily’s been making signs, mini bunting and union jack dresses for her teddies.   I remember the Royal Wedding back in 1981 and the sense of community it bought about, the street parties, fancy dress competitions etc and [...]
