New in!

I have had a few questions via my shop asking if I can make scarves in other colours apart from grey. The answer is "yes!" I most certainly can. The other colours are now shown on the listing for the scarf but here's a peek of the different colours if you haven't spotted them over there yet. Here's the mustard colour in full action. I also like the red (bottom row, 2nd from the right) and denim blue (bottom row, 3rd from the left).

Prices start from £18 so please do have a browse if you're looking for cosy knits this Winter!

I have also added some tiny gold kissing couple charms which you can buy as a friendship bracelet on your choice of cotton (red, black, turquoise, light pink or lilac). This charm is adorable and very cute, but you must be quick if you like it because I only have two left and I fear I may not be able to find any more.

I have added some silver glitterball earrings which are handmade by my own fair hands using silver wire and gorgeous sparkly beads of various sizes. I can make the hoops as big or as small as you like or I can use more/less beads - just contact me if you want to ask about this.

Also new in is a single bead friendship bracelet. Choose from a gold or silver bead on any colour cotton. I particularly like the silver bead on lilac or light pink cotton. It looks so pretty yet very simple and dainty.

The silver Eiffel Tower earrings proved popular, I even made a pair for my friend in London and sent them on their merry way, so I decided to stock up and I also added gold Eiffel Tower charms too. The listing does say to allow 2 weeks but at the moment you definitely wouldn't have to wait that long as I have the supplies ready. I love the gold Eiffel Towers with the yellow stars, but the silver/pink hearts is a great combination also.

Thanks for the support! x

DOGGIE STROLLER

Received the doggie stroller I order a few days ago.  This will come in handy when we go to Dixie RV to have our coach fixed next week.  I'll be able to keep the dog in the stroller while we wait for the repair to be completed which could take all day.  However, I really purchased this item in order to take Xi Shi to New Orleans with me when I go shopping in the French Market. 

Her little sister cat wanted to go for a ride, too.

It even comes with its own rain coat.

She doesn't like me to zip it up but the screen is really a nice feature.

She really enjoyed her first ride down our street.

Now I won't have to worry about leaving her at home all alone and can spend more time in the city.  I would never allow her to walk the streets, for several reasons (dirt and crowds, etc.).  So now she can ride in style while I shop.  There are places to eat with tables set up outdoors so she will be able to be with me at these sites as well.  I'm waiting for the first cool spell before heading to the city.  The temps here are comfortable but I prefer to walk the streets in colder weather.

If it gets cooler in the next week or two, I will plan on spending a few days in the city at a campground I found just a few blocks from the French Quarter.  The French Quarter RV Resort is conveniently located in the heart of downtown New Orleans with easy access by bicycle, by car, or on even on foot.  They even shuttle you in golf carts to the Market place then pick you up late afternoon.  It's pretty pricey but it will be a splurge well deserved.

We have 26 days left before we depart for the Texas Gulf Coast.  After the repair job on the coach I have a doctor's appointment and then we're free to go.

Yesterday I registered for the Escapees Boot Camp in Livingston, Texas in November then made my reservations at Cherry Hill Campground in Maryland for March.  Things are beginning to move right along.

Sarenza contest: win £800 worth of shoes!

Sarenza are currently running a contest across the UK fashion community with a prize of £800 in vouchers. That's a lot of shoes ladies (and gents!) Plus the contest has been extended and now runs until 7 October 2011 so you have plenty of time to get your entry in.

Sarenza wants the fashion Queens of the UK to show their European neighbours what British style is. The creative, fun and inspiring British style has long been the envy of Europe, that's why the best reviews and style pictures will be featured on their international sites across Europe, so feel free to include photos of you in your post to illustrate your review.

Here's the idea:

* Write a review on your blog about your favourite items from the new Autumn/Winter collection and for a maximum of £800.

* The theme of the review has to be 'pure British style' and to make your entry valid please include the links to the product pages of the items on the Sarenza website in your post.

* Sarenza will then select the 15 most exciting reviews and feature them on the Sarenza blog. In this blog post, Sarenza will encourage readers to vote for their favourite review.

* The blogger who gets the most votes will win £800 of vouchers to buy the items she reviewed, and one of the people who voted for the winner will receive the same prize, decided by a draw.

All make sense? If so get your thinking caps on. I'm working on my entry too. Good luck!
