A Lovely Souvenir

We always get excited when we find a gorgeous shop and my friend Cassie's gallery, Souvenir in Highgate, is quite a find. Packed full of striking illustrations, animal-inspired knick-knacks and gorgeous stationery, this is where I will be buying all of the Christmas presents I don't craft myself. And now the hankies are being stocked there too.

Wedding Fever

Lots of people have been buying our hankies as bridesmaid's gifts so I decided to do a bit of research and headed down to the National Wedding Show last weekend. I couldn't believe how many wedding businesses there were out there! There were companies who organised weddings abroad (Italy and Greece were popular choices) and some of the most amazing cakes I had ever seen. There was one which was covered in shredded rice paper which looked like feathers. I got pretty excited about all the dresses too. There is no man in my life at the moment but I am enjoying looking for pointers for all of my engaged friends. I'm going to be a maid of honour (for my lovely friend Nicola) next year too so I've been keeping an eye out for good hen party ideas too. Maybe, just maybe, I am considering starting my own 'wedding file' too...
