Our little lovebird

Yesterday was a very sad day at our house. Our beautiful blue harlequin budgie Loco died. We buried him in the garden

A Day At The Show

I took a self portrait in front of the bathroom mirror with 

last year's dolly purchase, before we headed to the show.

One of my favourite brooches, a gift from my lovely friend Nat. 

The image on it is from 'Waiting for Goddess' by Destiny Deacon.

The sweet little lucky number bangles are by yours truly

and will (hopefully) be available in  my shop soon!

Mmmm... cotton candy. Yum!

I simply couldn't resist bringing this darling little 

polka dot skirted kewpie dolly home with me... 

Ari and I had fun in the Magic Circus Funhouse.

What a lovely time we all had at this year's Show!
