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!

Etsy Sunday

Today's Etsy Sunday spot goes to the Lovely Elle Moss. 

I fell in love with Elle's work (see below) when I came across her Etsy shop in 2009.  With so many beautiful prints to choose from, it took me until late last year to finally decide which one to buy.  After much deliberation, I decided on 'Jodie' and was thrilled with the quality of the print when it arrived.  I've since had it frame and it looks absolutely beautiful. Now I just to have to get the living room decorated so I can hang it up......
