Katty kisses and kuddles to all of you.
Has it really been that long since I last posted? Well yes it has, and I hang my head in shame. I have been caught up in work commitments, entertaining friends and even organising a wedding. In fact, as I type I'm half-watching this:
I love Martha. Something niggley inside me feels like I shouldn't, but somehow I just can't help it!! I've been tagging up wedding magazines, and in the British ones I've tagged a handful of pages which contain good ideas. But in Martha Stewart's Wedding magazine, I've literally tagged every page. I needn't have bothered tagging it at all!
So after watching this DVD, if I wasn't already briming with ideas, I'm now positively overflowing with them and becoming more and more confused & frustrated. This whole wedding thing is really overwhelming and I have no idea which ideas to go for. The Fiance and I are looking at wedding reception venues tomorrow, so I'm hoping I'll get a feeling from one of those so that I can actually make some decisions!! Wish me luck.
How glorious was the bank holiday rain?! My garden was glowing afterwards. Once the sun had come back out from behind the rain clouds, my pansies were smiling...
My sweet peas stretched up to the blue skies...
Even the lettuces plumped out their glossy leaves...
Now my bank holiday wasn't just filled with wholesome garden froilics. No, unfortunately a very frivilous friend of mine came to stay and my bad side was unleashed...we shopping. Non-thrifty shopping. The sort of shopping that tortures my soul, not to mention my fiance (should he ever find out). Oh yes it feels great at the time but oh so awful afterwards. What can I say? Sometimes I just cannot help myself. Come meet my new Jimmy's...
And my fan-tastic Moo cards!
Not to mention a Jessica Simpson handbag (don't ask - I just loved the design and the leather), Chanel Poudre Douce (my skin is now a-glowing), a Burberry shearling jacket & cashmere jumper (don't ask - totally inappropriate for the season but both a bargain), a tonne of crafting rubber stamps (useful for wedding invites perhaps?), a crafting kit from QVC (so many uses...honestly), the Wedding Bible planner (obviously useful, right?), some North Face walking shoes in sunshine yellow (currently cannot resist yellow), new undies (Finance ruined 3 pairs all of mine in a dark wash) and a Cath Kidston peg bag (no more pegs on the line or lawn).
Now after becoming rediculousness personified, it's time to return from Cloud Cuckoo Land and realise that I'm not a millionaire (not even a hundredaire), I've got a wedding to save for, a mortgage to pay, and a fiance to keep! And also to remember that there's...
...(thrifty eBay purchase!) xoxo
woah girl, that's some splurge! Love the shoes and the pansies. When are you tying the knot? Maybe I should be watching wedding videos and booking venues too? x.
