Tiger

This week, I discovered Tiger. I'm probably a bit late to the party as they have been trading in the UK since 2005. However, they recently opened a store in my nearest town and after hearing several people raving about it I decided to pop in for a look.  It's basically full of stuff you never knew you needed but all very cute and stylish with very low prices as well.  I limited myself to spending £5 (yes, yes - last of the big spenders) but I really didn't "need" any of it so I thought I would be careful with the pennies. Here's what I bought...

1.  Heart coaster - this is bigger than a normal sized coaster that you would use for a cup or glass. It's perfectly sized for a tea pot stand or to stand serving dishes on at dinner.

 2.  Red Riding Hood pegs. Nope, absolutely no clue what I'm going to do with them. I just bought them because they were Red Riding Hood.

 3. Fried egg napkins. Well....napkins never go wrong, do they??

4.  Beetle in plexi glass. I bought this purely because it reminded me of the beetle earring scene in Moonrise Kingdom. Sad but true.

I even got change from my £5 spending limit. These four lovely items cost just £1 each. Happy shopper!

All you need is love...

I finally got to watch Moonrise Kingdom this week after being desperate to see it for months and I wasn't disappointed. It's a stylish, heartwarming little film about two twelve-year old kids who fall in love and run away together. I absolutely loved it and I would recommend watching it if you haven't already.  I also stumbled upon some amazing vintage teen romance novels on Etsy this week. I didn't buy them so they are probably still up for grabs if you're quick.

The beautiful handmade papercut is by the very talented Stars & Scars.  I borrowed the photo from her Facebook page and you can also find her hand drawn/handmade jewellery on Etsy.

I bought one of the cushions featured at the bottom of the post, myself several months ago and I love it dearly. I have it sitting on our bed and it makes me smile whenever I see it. I always think it would make a lovely wedding or housewarming gift for someone too. It's nice to have or give something a bit more unique. I hope you like my selection this week.
