Shopping, shoppping, shopping...

It's that time of year where for most of us, our spare cash goes on stocking up with Christmas presents for friends and family.

I wanted to give (from independent sellers) and make as much handmade as I could. I just thought I'd show you some of the lovely things I have got my mitts on so far!

First off, I came across a brilliant artist Scott French recently and knew instantly who these two prints which I bought from Society 6 were for. I have also added these into my own Christmas wishlist, so if my Mr is reading... 

Next, I follow a lovely little company called Peony and Thistle on Facebook and they make some really lovely little bits and bobs and sell vintage treats too!

I couldn't resist these little little vintage alphabet cards which I'm going to frame and give to my friends. Well, I think I might keep the bike one for myself ;)

The little hand-sewn notebooks they make are really affordable. A description of the ones I bought as a gift for my Mother in Law - 'The covers of these notebooks are pages of a discarded copy of the lovely book, The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden. In 1906, Edith Holden recorded in words and paintings the flora and fauna of the British countryside through the seasons.'

I still have lots and lots more gifts to buy so I will keep you all posted on the lovely things I manage to find!

Have a lovely weekend.
