Today I was allowed a couple of hours out of the house alone for good behaviour. So after lunch I headed over to Arundel for a spot of Christmas shopping.
I love Arundel, I have mentioned it in the past, we got married there.
It is pretty at Christmas, and it has one of my favourite real-life present stores, Sparks Yard...
I managed to get a few extras there for my nearest and dearest, and I unexpectedly caught up with one of my real-life friends whom real-life usually conspires against us and keeps us from meeting up, so that was a bonus.
I may also have spent a whole £4 on some more felt; well when the shop looked as pretty as this...
...how could I resist!
There has been a little bit making, and a bit more winning this weekend, but more on all that tomorrow, the clock's ticking and these pressies aren't going to make themselves x
I went to Arundel once. Loved it! Looks like a fab escape. But only £4 on felt. You really must be done with hearts then!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place to visit and shop! And that little fabric shop is too cute not to hop right in a buy something! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeletePretty shop, who indeed could resist. Spotted your win today - you really, really must buy a lotto ticket this week.
ReplyDeleteI made a felt heart tonight - yes, just one!!
Arundel sounds lovely. Yet another reason for a trip across the pond!
ReplyDeleteWell done on your win! And Arundel looks more inspiring than our local area for presents! Must go there some time.
ReplyDeleteJust sneaked a look at your list of 'to do's' Vey ambitious, but good that you are crossing so many off! I am impressed.
Happy sewing
I know that shop! And quite a few others...
ReplyDelete"let out for good behaviour" - i totally know that feeling! made me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteand I saw you (i think) won the giveaway at little island ... congrats!
Good behaviour? Sounds most unlike you... Still, love that shop wrapped as a present!
ReplyDeleteOooh, thanks forthe link to Sparks - looks fab, and I lovethe bow on the outside!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric shop looks great, and Sparks - next chance Arundel here I come - and no! not on that bloody motorbike!
ReplyDeleteAn aqua facade, 'buttons, fabric'....what a pretty shop! show us more! Congrats on the wins!
ReplyDeleteArundel looks so quaint! Glad you had some time out! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI dont think I have ever been to Arundel but have certainly driven past it pots of times...so next time I will go and explore. Glad you had fun! x
ReplyDeleteGood behaviour? Are you sure they didn't just want rid of you for a while? Arundel looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteHelen's cracking me up!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a nice day out. With shops as adorable as that, you are bound to have a great time!
That shop is darling!
ReplyDeleteYeah for trips out of the house alone!
