Cath Kidston and Laura Ashley purchases...

Ok, Ok...I've been very self indulgent lately, but there is a 50% sale on don't you know!? I bought the most gorgeous candy striped fabric in Laura Ashley today, I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with it but it was so pretty and only £6 a metre that I just HAD to have it! The fabric reminds me of beach huts, deck chairs, and old-fashioned sea-side holidays. Funnily enough, I've just found out that it is called seaside stripe!

I bought myself this Cath Kidston dressing gown too and the pink strawberry fabric ironing board cover. I know, I know...

....but on a less extravagant note, I have discovered freecycle and it's fantastic! I posted that I wanted some old pallets to make a log store and that I'd need them delivered and I got a phone call from a nice lady who works a the local dairy farm. We always eat their cheese because it's local and delicious, and it was so kind of them to offer to deliver them free of charge! Anyway, this is the place and they sell the most delicious sheep milk cheese:
