Remember that Eiderdown.......

Remember the Eiderdown I got from e-bay? Well here it is on the bed. The cat couldn't resist having her picture taken.
She looks really evil in this pic, but she's only yawning. I love my new eiderdown, but so does the cat which is a worry, as she's not fussy where she sharpens her claws, even though she has two cat scratchers upstairs. Also the paw prints and furs a worry, as they aren't the easiest things to clean, but I suppose whats the point of having something lovely if you can't enjoy it.


Our bed is on its last legs and we are in need of a new one, and we need new bedding, which I'm saving up for, as I'm torn between a Cath Kidston set and a Laura Ashley set, both of which are not cheap. So if anyone knows of any pretty rose bedding that's cheaper can you let me know!
I also have plans to re-jig the cushions and make a new one or two, as well as having a bash at covering our bedside lamps.
Peg Rail update........ Its had its second coat, but will need another. xxxxx

Shopping and Thrifting.......

I had a day out shopping today in Petersfield which was good fun. My SIL and I, wanted to raid the charity shops, and raid them we did! My favourite buy of the day though was from Laura Ashley. Four gorgeous chair seat cushions which were £6.50 each. I was going to make some, but for that price and from Laura Ashley to boot, I decided to buy them.

I also found a lovely fabric shop, with the most drool worthy curtain fabric. In fact loads of stunning fabrics, but I was good and just bought what I needed. I got some lovely red gingham and some white linen fabric which will be made into a goose and four lemon buttons for my bunnies outfit.
I was on the lookout for Cath Kidston stuff in the charity shops and I did find one item. This Lavender and Geranium hand cream which smells delicious.



I also picked up quite a few items of clothing, two jumpers for Mr Pixie, a pretty top for mum and a few items for me, but when I tried my items on they looked awful so I'll be taking them back bar one top. The charity shop gives you 14 days to take things back, but I feel a bit guilty, so I'm sure I'll end up buying something else instead.
Finally, whilst in Laura Ashley, I picked up the new spring catalogue. So I'll leave you with some pics of my favourite pages to dribble over.
