shoes = happiness

So today i was bored and i tidied the spare room. Whilst i was at it i thought i would sort out my shoe collection. This is a small portion of it, the rest is still at my parents as my room can't hold them all.




Whilst sorting out my shoes i discovered 4 odd shoes.........i wonder where the partners have gone? I'm trying not to panic yet but if i don't find them soon i will just have to go out and buy replacements!
I also went on holiday up north to visit some friends last week. It was so good to get away from work and home for a while. I was also amazed it stayed nice and warm! We went to the beach on sunday where one of my friends dunked me in the north sea.....not so warm.

Polyvore i LOVE you

Oh how i love polyvore, the latest of my on-line obsessions. I use the excuse that i have a degree in fashion design and therefore i NEED to keep up with the trends, hee hee. Secretly though i just LOVE wasting time putting together outfits that i will never be able to afford. Here's one i made earlier


Go on..........you know you want to.

Treasury Time

Yay i've been featured in another Etsy treasury. Many thanks to yipestoo who has included me in this beautiful vintage treasury . It also features one of my hearted items so i may have to buy it fast!
In other news i viewed a flat today as i have to move out of my current home. It's a long story but basically i live next to the worst pub in Scotland and i've got nothing but trouble every weekend from them so i need to move. The flat is in a great location, is almost £200 CHEAPER than what i pay now but it is absolutely tiny.

I am trying to weigh up the pro's and con's but i need to be quick. I like my space though. Bummer. Plus it's got to accomodate this wee devil

Fun Times

The sun has been shining here in the Scottish borders for a good week or so now and it is amazing how much happier the customers are at my work now we have nice weather. There's only so much rain people can take before it gets on your nerves and frankly i was ready to emigrate!

So apart from enjoying the sunshine i went to a local sunday market and found this which is now in my living room:


It's a photograph from the 1920s of John Knox House in Edinburgh. I love it, a little bit of Edinburgh in my wee house in Peebles. Makes me want to go home more often!


I also recieved this AMAZING goodie selection from fellow etsy seller AuntChilada this morning in the post. Another fabby snack exchange!

Another day, another pair of shoes

In case you hadn't noticed already i have a bit of a shoe addiction. I really didn't need this pair but i just couldn't leave them on the shelf could i?

The weather here is beautiful just now, last time i checked it was 23 degrees! Not bad for the Scottish borders so i will be wearing these mules asap.
I also found this pair last time i cleaned out my wardrobe (spare room) I forgot i even had them!
Isn't the detail on them amazing? Have a lovely day folks, hope the sun is shining where you are!
